Tamika Stubblefield Poems

Poetry is a great many things
to each poet you see,
Poetry even has various meanings
as to what it is to me
...

Women with words
Work wonders with
Amazing anecdotes and
Analogies,
...

I like being brown
Caramel with red undertones
I love my thick lips and wide nose
I can create kinky masterpieces from my locks
...

In my single parent 'hood.'
Black mothers rise before dawn
Kitchen lights blink on
Maybe a minute or two
...

I reach for you
Hoping that this is a dream
And you will return
From the garden, a rose
...

Time
For me
is an illusion.
Existing only for the mind,
...

brotha’s be trippin’ sometimes
approachin’ sista’s with those lines:
“hey baby! ”
“how you doin’? ”
...
