Learning

During a pit stop at the avenue of live and learn
I Live to Learn
Despite mistakes, I still keep trying
Trying is surviving and as you begin to start living
You'll keep on surviving
Nothing is ever perfect, but to those that are tapped to within
Confidence
A light bulb, I sparked an interest
Some would call the difference
I listen & I am in tuned, my rhythm is like lady who sings the Blues
to I blued the Clues in & became Powerful again
Learning is part of the journey as I live in Life again and again
Where Harlem built me from my feet up
I stomp the ground and shake the Devil down to his knees
God, I'm learning
Brush it off my feet or maybe off the sleeve
No eyes for the Sky, I live within the Limit
I am floating High
I am learning the difference between comfort and zoning out
Drums playing I hear 145th & Lenox
A place where wolves are feed learning how to feed the need
Opportunity to the need, so the community I Do Not Flee
I see the need
Heart on the Sleeve a Heart on the Keys, My Passion is My Success
Learning is part of Wealth
Strive as I am felt
Poetry is beauty and I see the eyes of the Beholder
I reintroduce myself to myself and then to the World....

Life is Math

Problems
Solutions
The Facts of Life
Add and Subtract
Multiply and Divide
The equation in Life equals Math
If you look at Life as a puzzle because of the circle
Simple Math, subtract the bad, results equals a solution
Multiply self Love and add Values
Life is Math
Problems, there's always a Solution
These are the Simple facts of Life
Divide the Negative State of Mind
Multiply the Positives
Life is Math
Numbers add up in Life if you simply
Divide the Past
Add the Good
Multiply the Future
Life is simple
It is for you to do the Math

Friday

"The Right Turn"

Life as it turns out, is a Beautiful Journey
No need to make a u-turn back to a rocky road
Road Blocks are made out of
Center Blocks that try to block the Center of Life
Kiss you goodbye to never look back
I made the Right Turn to
A Beautiful Journey called Life -Sjo

Tuesday

Never too Young to Learn

In a Nest sits a baby bird
Looking down trying to find Guidance
Falls from a Tree
Mother Bird has flown away
Baby bird left alone
On her Own, she learns how to Spread her Wings
Flapping & finding courage to Fly
Never too Young to Learn....

-Sjo

"The FUTURE of Poets" Crew Member-"Ace"

Ashonda "Ace" Warner was born and raised in Queens, NY. She was always an avid reader, and loves to play with words. In her early adult years, she would write poems sporadically until she became consistent with it. You can find her writings in C.H.O.I.C.E.S. Magazine- a Christian Magazine, The CornerStore Magazine, and of course in The Poets' Pot. Encouraged by her friends and family, she finally started performing her poetry in The Poets' Pot.

Stick around to see what the Poets Pot has cooking, its sure to be good!
