Sallie Marie Tompkins Poems

My lips are powerful.
They speak life to a dead situation,
and birth encouragement during preparation.
Smooth as silk, they are care for a dying nation,
...

Can I talk to you,
it will only take a second?
Please don't rush or brush me off,
I have something very important to tell you.
...

Thinking bout, holdin back the years,
releasing a lot of tears,
I forgot to tell you about my constant fears.
You were there for me and I was there for you.
...

Something for Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

I never thought I would share in your legacy.
A Time for a Change came to my mind,
...

My favorite pencil is a rubber number 2.
Packs at Officemax, Staples, and Walmart,
don't keep me blue.
It loves to draw what I love,
...

My pen erases sin,
demolishes strongholds to let people live again.
A soul is my point of target,
check out Walmart for daily pen bargains.
...

Just for a moment, I visited you in my imagination.
Words of edification swayed my soul, and drew me into your destine place.
I took in the brisk, soft, smooth wind on my face.
I enjoyed imagining being at your lake.
...

This is southern fried all the way live.
Gotta git some pancakes and bacon,
even when I'm working nine to five.
IHOP is the exlcusive dine,
...

Check dis,
you are someone special!
Has anyone ever told you that?
Well, now you know.
...

Freeze,
stop for a moment,
relax, everything will be o.k.
