We cannot give to others what is lacking within us #AdielaAkoo

Poetry is intimacy between poet and reader it's revealing your truth and feeling safe acceptance in the unveiling #AdielaAkoo

A whipping tongue scathingly lashes a false sense of power failing to reflect that a tongue portrays the character of its possessor #AdielaAkoo

It is from the OVERFLOW of our cup that we give off our best to others #AdielaAkoo

Poets are cut from a tender cloth that covers our world in beauty #AdielaAkoo

LOVE what you're doing... and KEEP doing it with LOVE! #AdielaAkoo

Burn the bad news, I don't want it! Give me instead SOUL FOOD, from within I want to be lit! #AdielaAkoo

How long before that Dove of Peace heals its broken wings, and finds a sprouting olive in this burnt forest? #AdielaAkoo

I AM crazy and bold enough to think that I CAN change the world #AdielaAkoo
