POETICALLY SPEAKING: The Wise By Countee Cullen
THE WISE
Dead men are wisest, for they know
How far the roots of flowers go,
How long a seed must rot to grow.
Dead men alone bear frost and rain
On throbless heart and heatless brain,
And feel no stir of joy or pain.
Dead men alone are satiate;
They sleep and dream and have no weight,
To curb their rest, of love or hate.
Strange, men should flee their company,
Or think me strange who long to be
Wrapped in their cool immunity.
Dead men are wisest, for they know
How far the roots of flowers go,
How long a seed must rot to grow.
Dead men alone bear frost and rain
On throbless heart and heatless brain,
And feel no stir of joy or pain.
Dead men alone are satiate;
They sleep and dream and have no weight,
To curb their rest, of love or hate.
Strange, men should flee their company,
Or think me strange who long to be
Wrapped in their cool immunity.
Written by Countée Cullen (1903-1946)
*We love the poetic genius like Cullen. He's one that was truly in love with his words*

POETICALLY SPEAKING!
(DHLC-www.literarydiva09.blogspot.com)
As I flick my cigarette, I realize this is a bad habit. It seems to like me and I love it- as it calms me and take my mind to another disgusting level.
Ignoring the affects of this madness I flick my cigarette and digress.
Time is grinding on me as my thoughts exceed my will power and I fall into a jaded misfortune of a crushing dirty moment.
Ignoring the affects of this madness I flick my cigarette and digress.
Peeling the layers back of juiced up chaos is like fire on my skin burning through me one sweat gland at a time. My eyes are eroding as I cannot see but just feel the moments of opportunity ripping from my flesh.
Ignoring the affects of this madness I flick my cigarette and digress.
Fighting the fear of life and sadistic mummified entrapment has me bowing down to the queen of evil as my spirit is about to be beheaded.
Ignoring the affects of this madness I flick my cigarette and digress.
Peeping toms pry into my flesh as time has moved but I’m standing still only to be encased in life’s solitary confinement. My mind says raise the roof but my soul says shut this bitch down!
Ignoring the affects of this madness I flick my cigarette and digress.
My notorious ego has found its match as life is a bitch with a bad attitude. A feeling of embattlement is all in the flick of my cigarette as I digress and flick for the last time.

WRITE WITH LOVE!
Writing takes alot of soul and everything else. Everything from how you write, what you write, and why you write comes out of you.
At times many of us writer's feel like we can't because we feel as if we have nothing to say. Instead of digging deep in our writer's soul, we don't say or write anything.
That's not being a good writer.
What we do know is that, each story you come up with should be a story written with love and determination. It should be the best story you write as if it were your last.
Trust me; I' know!
Today; take the time to write with love. Every word, sentence, and paragraph should be written with your love stamp. Remember it's the love in your writer's soul that can truly create a story for your reader to remember.

Baldwin-Simmons: A True Power of Power
James Baldwin was an American writer who had trials and tribulations, but found his way through the world of words. Russell Simmons had the same trials and tribulations, but found his way through music and the power of the mind.
These two men are men of power. They are men of great intellect and more than anything, men of substance.
"Be Powerful Be Heard" is a law in Russell Simmon's book "Do You." Which explains transitioning into getting your mind, body and message right to be able to deliver it to others. It also takes you on a journey of preparation and thought to proceed in the right direction in order to be heard and more than anything to be powerful.
"World of Words" is written about James Baldwin. Baldwin ran into complications back in the day as racism was running rampart and so-called winning. Baldwin wasn't about to take that sitting down. He clearly wasn't having it as he believed blacks had the right to be heard and powerful. This took him on a journey of trouble, conflict, and words. Then came an unexpected meet and greet with best selling author Richard Wright. From that point forward he started writing and perfecting his craft by writing a novel, book reviews and then "Giovanni's Room." As the story goes about Baldwin who was ever so flamboyant, and openly gay, he never gave up. He used his voice to be powerful and with that many people heard him.
These two men have a great deal in common. They are master's of their craft but more importantly they embody a true message. A message of being powerful isn't about material items or where you live, it's about using your mind in the highest and greatest way to create a better view for yourself and for others.
As we think about today's society and all the rhetoric and craziness that's bestowed upon us, we also have to think about how we can use our power just like Russell Simmons and James Baldwin did in his day.
In order to have true power like these two men, you have to leap deep within to find the true being within who you are. Russell Simmons found his through music, culture, and love. James Baldwin found his through literature, writing, fighting for his life and love. What's the common denominator; "love." With love comes true passion for all things life, and that set's the stage for true power within you.

SPICY LIT NIGHT CAP! WORD PLAY: "Tingle"
This word is an automatic when creating a hot and steamy love story or very gritty nasty black love drama.
When I think of this word I immediately get goose bumps! It has a ripple effect, much like when your lover is caressing you in one spot, which automatically makes those other spots jump to the tenth power!
You can use this word in a number of ways in your story. Many people use it as a description as they describe how one charater feels. Writers also use it in performance poetry to give a smooth, yet in your face effect.
There are power in words, but more power in the description of the word. The more you can describe the word the more your readers will get wrapped up in you stories/poetry.
Today, use "tingle" in a way that you never have before, and realize the potential a word can bring to spice up your story/poetry.

SPICY LIT NIGHT CAP! Sexy Thought Provoking Lit: Anonymous!
As I lay thinking of how it all happened; the clock chimes slowly.
Magical and splendid reviews of charm and wit enthrall my psyche as I lay naked.
Climaxing a million times over fills my body with jitters, shakes and revelations of bliss.
Embracing the grimy but glorious thoughts has turned sadistically evil but yummy.
Love is captured as eruption takes over and paralyzes my body and pricks it at the speed of light.
Locking in the flavor is a must, as the juice runs through my body and up to my tongue for a taste of a life time.
Shadows tour the ins and outs of me and leave me breathless and dreaming of lilies.
Amazing, delicious, and damn right psychotic as the tightness holds, seduce, and comes knocking one more time.
Smiles of girlish hotness sway me to dive in for one more bite and ride it out until the sun sets.
Time as allotted me a great moment to devour and enjoy with free flows of bone crushing fantasy.
Sick thoughts of juiced up elegance was the flavor combination that took the bait.
As I lay thinking of how it all happened; the clock chimes slowly and stroke my salacious ego into the
confines of a million climatic whispers.
