I don’t walk straight
Not even for the bait
I am merry yet not gay
I am bi and I can bray
But greed
Is not my seal
Yet you all snigger
Calling me a player
Our goal is acceptance
Where is the tolerance?
I am not gay enough
To be wholly enfolded
Not sufficiently lesbian
To be totally embraced
Should I even say Trans?
I can’t brace the rants!
You preach diversity
As community necessity
But are quick to sneer and leer
Whenever I am near
Yes, in the mall
I want it all
With the dick
I play and lick
And the boobs
Makes me swoon
The big breasted
Leaves me besotted
With the queers
I will play in the square
With the pussy
I get all fussy
The shaven sight
To suckle all night
Bouncy bums
I love to bump
Smooth balls
I like to smooch
With the Pecs
I need no specs
I am bisexual, not a player
Stop being my slayer
I am bisexual not confused
Like you I choose my companion
It is a natural attraction
Not just a mere selection
With love I embrace my lover 
It matters not the gender
All I want is tenderness
For my love is genderless.

Dear Yemmy, this one really got to me! Absolutely beautiful, and obviously very heartfelt.
I don’t want to tell an artist how to make their art, but if I may I have some words which rhyme and you may like to use them in future works:
Feet -- -- -meat (or meet)
Sponge -- -- -- plunge
Head -- -- -- bread (or bred)
Breasts -- -- -- dressed
Horror -- -- -- bother
Cry -- -- -- buy (or by) (or bye, which can also be extended to goodbye or byebye depending on the feeling of the verse)
Anyway, that was just my ideas, please keep on writing these, every one of them has made me think.
Thank you.
Concentrated H20 -- you’re such a hater. Why don’t you leave Yammi alone?
Lsuoma, Doing a little trolling I see. Fucking hypocrite.
But don’t you know sKepptiksowat there are no trolls at the Symepit, only ppl disagreeing with them are trolls! Personally I’m glad to see the “mod” of the Slymepit in the wild and out of his safe space, he looks so wonderfully exposed in the open.
I like it. I’ve observed the prejudice against bisexuals in the lesbian scene and in the mainstream. When I tell people I’m bi I often get asked, “Does your husband know?”, followed by, “Does he mind?” usually in tones that suggest that he ought to mind.
Oh, for fuck’s sake, why is that “does your husband know” even a thing? I’m straight as quality control in a ruler factory, but if I should tell someone I’m straight, the first thing on their minds is not going to be whether my husband knows I might be attracted to other guys. Sure, I might be, and sure, he knows. Just like I know he might be attracted to other women. We’ve chosen to be monogamous, so we won’t act on that attraction. And you chose to be monogamous as well, or you chose some other mutually acceptable arrangement, and you will act accordingly, and I have no say in the matter and no right to get my opinions on you. 🙂
Cool poem Yemmy! I like to write stochastic (holistic) poetry like this short piece:
Stepping In It
I stepped in some dog oolon this morning
It was hidden in the grass, gave me no warning
I scraped at it with a little stick
The smell nearly made me sick
@ConcentratedH2O, OM Thanks. I am glad you felt the poem too. I will surely consider using your suggested rhymes in my future works. 🙂
@Lsuoma- My blog is for adults, not kindergarten kids or adults who behave like one. If you have an urge to practice your bullying skills, find some other space, definitely not on my blog. Read my comment policy, any other violation of that policy would earn you a ban. BTW, my name is not “Yammi”, at least have the decency to look up the correct spelling.
@ismenia Thanks. As a bisexual I have experienced this a lot in the LGBT community, even amongst my lesbian friends. Biphobia is real and this phobia should not have a space in the LGBT community. I will be writing more on this issue soon.
@abear That was very childish of you. Please read my comment policy. My wall is not a space to play your juvenile games. If you want to write a smear poem, go write it on your space; do not use my space for your personal attacks. Consider this the warning before the ban.
That was fantastic! 🙂 Loved it.
Can you get your friends in Nigeria to stop spamming me please?
Yemisi and abear, both great poems. Fun and insightful.
Hope to see more from both of you (and maybe some other people will post more in other comments).
@carlie Thanks, glad you loved it! 🙂
@A Demonic Duck Of Some Sort- If you are stupid enough to leave such a comment on my blog, you surely do not have the mental capacity to occupy space on my blog. A ban stares your ignorant ass in the face.
Rob L- Please do not encourage people to post smear poems in my comment thread, especially not after i had categorically stated that such is not welcomed on my blog. Such action would earn you a ban.
Sorry Yemmy, I will try to be nicer in the future.
Thanks Rob L. It’s nice to know that some people like my poetry.
Okay, I know some people are cracking on this poem but I thought it was alright, especially some parts that people are cracking on. I liked the steamy parts in the poem, being sexual in the head and all 😉
Anyway, the general message seems to be bisexual people being accused of not being bisexual, yknow, “they’re actually straight trying to be ‘cool'” or “they’re gay looking at better chances for acceptance” and some people that seem to think you can only be attracted to one sex (Amber from Bad Girls Club… o.O) “Which one, Flo? Penis or vagina?” -- paraphrased.
~Sister Eu
Love it!
Good job, my boyfriend and I read this out loud and thought it was great.
@eucliwood Thanks, yeah the general message is to dispel the myth that bisexuals are just greedy or confused. We aren’t greedy, we are just lucky not to be allergic to gender! BTW I got some steamy sexual poems, watch this page! 🙂
@rorschach- Glad you loved it.
@lostintime That is interesting to hear. I have had some bis tell me they love reading the poem aloud to themselves, I think a performance of it would be great! Glad you and your BF loved it.
