Vicki Acquah Poems

Sitting here with my daughter between my knees, I braid her hair, One by one I place the lucky shells in her hair.I hear the call and response in my village..
The roll was being called.
This gathering was different,
The drums tell us we must gather
...

5000 friends and not a drop of care.
Its like being stranded in the
middle of the ocean with no water to digest-
Remember ' Water Water everywhere -
...

Brains:

Many secrets held in caverns
energy in the literal folds
...

i won't stay and fight him..
He moves too fast, and hits me below the belt!
i will not stand up to him..
Because, i am afraid of him, her, (whatever)
...

i won't stay and fight him..
He moves too fast, and hits me below the belt!
i will not stand up to him..
Because, i am afraid of him, her, (whatever)
...

I found refuge in your arms
I found comfort in your kiss, You are my treasure.
I want to be your pleasure.
I want to know you better.
