Poetry Collection: Upon being told that I am a poet Suggested I have my work added To the local grade school curriculum Meant well but I think not... Emily Dickinson And Robert Frost I truly... am not... This is NOT what I do Though I do agree with Emily who aspires to "Dwell in the possibilities" And with Mr. Frost I concur that "The only way out is through" Like Dylan I "Do not go gentle into that good night" That is not what my poems are made of... Racism Newly found Love Motherhood And children he forgot Addiction Cocaine Loneliness And working with what you've got A working man's hands A homeless man's lot Betrayal Destruction that genocide wrought May not always sound nice... But Beloved, it's life Life is what my poems are made of
