The night I met you, I was inebriated intoxicated with the presence of you I was so high I didn't want to come down Let me stay here where your presence tasted like Heaven voices sounded like angels I was being raptured by you captured by you addicted to you I can't descend now this feels like home My heart is safe now I can finally fly now I'll pay the fine I'll do the time guilty of this DUI @ Copyright, Tolbert, M D., All rights reserved

Sometimes Heaven deposits words into my soul and a withdrawal is made in the form of poetry. @ Copyright, Tolbert, M D., All rights

Every poet develops their own writing ritual. Some write early in the morning when the world is quiet. Others write late at night when thoughts feel deeper, and the house is still. Some poets write with music playing. Others prefer silence. Some write in notebooks. Others write on their phones or laptops. There is no single correct way to write poetry. Creating Your Space Many poets create a space that helps them think and feel creatively. It might be: • A favorite chair • A desk by a window • A quiet corner of the house • A coffee shop • A walk in nature What matters most is finding a place where your thoughts can flow freely. Finding Your Time Some writers schedule time to write. Others wait until inspiration appears. Both approaches can work. What matters is giving yourself the opportunity to capture ideas when they come. Small Habits Matter Writing rituals often grow from small habits. Lighting a candle. Opening a notebook. Playing a certain type of music. Taking a quiet walk before writing. These small actions signal to the mind that it is time to create. The Poet’s Practice Great poets are not only inspired. They are also consistent. Even writing a few lines regularly can strengthen your voice over time. Poetry grows through attention, patience, and practice. And every poet eventually discovers the rhythm that works best for them.

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY TO ALL❤️❤️❤️❤️🌹🌹🌹🌹. I originally wrote this poem to acknowledge the strength of African American women as they have suffered beyond words. I feel that women in general, especially mothers are forced to strong, because we have to be. We love our families, and our families depend on us. We really make a house a home!!! KUDOS LADIES, I HOPE YOU ENJOY THE WORDS PUT TO MUSIC HERE. CELEBRATE YOURSELF AND OTHERS THIS WEEKEND AND ALWAYS
