Colette Dright Poems

As I have walked pass or visited high-in rich subdivisions and gated communities, I have noticed all the homes are from the same color bracket. They are either beige, brown, cream, tan, camel, oatmeal, caramel, taupe… or a mixture of these colors, like half brown, half beige… Have you noticed that as well? I wonder if that is an HOA requirement? To me, it makes all the houses look the same and the whole subdivision looks bland.

Why can't there be some diversity, brightness and excitement to those bland, boring subdivisions? Why can't the homeowner have a choice or say so as to what color they prefer their 2.3 million dollar home to be? People should be able to paint their property to their personality. Yes… Dare to be different!

You ever had a neighbor, a friend, a family member or somebody that always wanna know if "you got? "

You got $5.00 til Friday, you got milk, you got some soap powder, you got a egg, you got cooking oil, you got some plies I can use, you got a lawn mower, you got 2 slices of bread I can borrow… Borrow?
...

I never knew how this could be true
Until I myself began to love Raymond too
The last man to kiss on these sweet lips
The passion and excitement of him I truly miss
...

You careless, reckless, inconsiderate person
You show no regard for human life, for another life, for even your life.

What's going on in your mind, peace is hard to find
...

How much more can we stand
To witness the killing of "Another Black Man? "
Walking with a friend, these two meet
Words were spoken, get the "F" out the street
...

Really? Is that all you are good for? Know your worth!
This is to bring awareness to outside relationships, cheaters, settlers, people who prefer to settle and have relations with someone who is in a relation with another. They do not respect nor care about the damages, affects, or consequences that can result from cheating or having an affair. Whether male or female, it applies to both cases.

If you are knowingly cheating with a married man, you are agreeing to contributing to being a person who administers "Roadside Assistance." You are called upon when he is "Broke Down" even if it's just a minor breakdown. When he is broken, mad, sad, or had a lover's spat with his wife, he runs to you for assistance and you accept the role as the mechanic. When he is having problems with his starter (yeah his wife) , and his starter is acting up, he should make efforts to find out what the problem is and the solution to fix it. That does not mean to go out and get a new starter.

Black Man, Black Man - Why do you kill yo Brother Man?
I don't want us known or considered as "Less Than"
Black Man I'm asking you, please don't kill your Brother
Don't you know that when you kill there will never be another?
...

With or without a screen, everything I need is in between.
Beaten with rainwater and filled with air bubbles is my door.
A home filled with peace will never bring trouble.
...

This morning when I awoke and before I got dressed
I decided to myself to simply just wear less.

There are times when many of us overdress and others wonder why we are all stuffy and stank with our mood and attitude. It is because on those days you wore worry, anger, insecurity and could it be bitterness, stress, confusion, doubtfulness and uncertainty?
...

A child with no praise causes these kind of days

Your words are often micromanaged
Yet your rants and raves are never challenged
...
