    Default Poetry???

    Ok, so I decided I wanted to post a weekly/bi-weekly poem or quote up in the dressing room(practicing my calligraphy skills).
    I was wondering if anybody had any suggestions for something short to medium length and uplifting.

    Also, if needbe, redirect me.

    This is my first installment:

    "We" by Janeya K. Hisle

    We Women,
    We sisters
    you and me.
    We be rollin' our necks with our hands on our hips.
    We be braidin' our hair.
    We be paintin' our lips.
    We be peekin' our windows 'cause we just gotta see.
    But whatever We be…We be beautifully.

    We Women,
    We sisters
    you and me.

    We pure gold: We make good Mamas.
    And we bold: We bring the drama.
    We give a lot.
    We play a lot.
    We pray a lot cause men stray a lot.
    We infiltrate: desegregate.
    We complicate.
    We instigate.
    We always runnin’ late
    for a date
    but we so great
    we know they’ll wait

    We Women,
    We sisters
    you and me.

    We love.
    We love our mothers.
    We love our brothers.
    We love each other.
    And We strong: We be copin’
    And we slick: We be scopin’
    And no one knows shoes like We.
    And no one knows blues like We.

    Cause We earth, moon and stars.
    We give birth.
    We fix cars.
    We cook meals.
    We close deals.
    We wear pants with high heels.

    We got life, love and spirit in all that We do.
    We Women,
    We sisters
    me and you.

    Look like a woman
    Think like a man
    Act like a lady
    Work like a dog

    Well I found this one but I would've sworn I posted another here. Guess not..

    Internet Love

    I had to write this shitty poem
    Because it's Valentine's Day
    and even though I'm not emo
    I'd have written it anyway

    I didn't know I loved you
    'til an Internet meme told me
    I wasn't sure it was real
    So I hit f5 repeatedly

    I checked your Myspace
    And I'm on your top eight
    So I know it's real
    and that u r rly gr8.

    I wrote about you today
    in my Livejournal online blog
    And no matter what I'll love you
    Even if your music is in ogg

    We will be together forever
    This I know to be true
    Because I got an email today
    That said your penis grew

    This seemed appropriate.


    Don't Quit

    When things go wrong, as they sometimes will,
    when the road your trudging seems all uphill,
    when the funds are low and the debts are high,
    and you want to smile, but you have to sigh,
    when care is pressing you down a bit-
    rest if you must, but dont you quit.

    Life is queer with its twists and its turns,
    as everyone of us sometimes learns,
    and many a failure turns about
    when they might have won, had they stuck it out.
    Don't give up though the pace seems slow,
    You may succeed with another blow.

    Often the struggler has given up
    when he might have captured the victors cup;
    and he learned too late when the night came down,
    how close he was to the golden crown.

    Success is failure turned inside out-
    The silver tint of the clouds of doubt-
    And you never can tell how close you are,
    It may be near when it seems so far;
    So stick to the fight when your hardest hit,-
    It's when things seem worst that you musn't quit!
    The only cure for grief is action.
    - George Henry Lewes

    One word frees us of all the weight and pain of life: That word is love.
    - Sophocles
