Avocado
Karmen was Heard Nov 2024
Like an avocado
It is cold and hard if rushed
But melts at a touch after too long
Yet it's so worth it
For if timed right it is
Soft
Comforting
As it should be
This is a metaphor I thought was very interesting. Not super serious though

Knives
Karmen was Heard Nov 2024
Why sharpen your knives
When you could sharpen your wit
For it truly is your greatest weapon
If trained right
For wit can build
Knives destroy

I
Karmen was Heard Nov 2024
I
I am not ashamed
I am called
I am blessed
I will follow
I will trust
I will love
I was far gone
I was ******
I was dying
I am Yours now

Banana V
Karmen was Heard Nov 2024
The most important part of your smoothie
Without it it's just a purée
Just like the most important part of a poet
Without it they're just a human

Poetry IV
Karmen was Heard Nov 2024
Some people think they can get away with just one line

Maybe they can
But they usually can't
Poetry is freedom
At it's core
But if you dig deeper
It's a little more
There are rules
Just easily broken
Many said
But some unspoken
It should flow
That's all you need to know
Before you go
And start your journey
We'll be here all the way
Here to help you every day
Just ask
We poets are here
Always looking for a volunteer
To join us
To look for more

Sometimes you just need an outlet
Come here
You'll be safe here
We won't tell
We'll support you here
Don't worry

Banana IV
Karmen was Heard Nov 2024
A child's gun
A source of great fun
A comfort food
A food to lighten the mood
A great thing to draw
A thing truly without flaw
A great pattern for a bandana
A thing most diverse, a banana

Speaker
Karmen was Heard Nov 2024
May I be Your speaker
Bringing truth to all
But not deafening
With the bass boosted
But reassuring
Loving

50
This poem is number fifty
Could I say an anniversary?
Not years
But releases
Through many tears
I've released these
It shows my youth
How much older some of you are
In terms of experience
If a poem was a year
Some of y'all would be
Millenniums old

Luckily for me
All those things

Do you see?
Aren't you proud of me?
