Walterrean Salley Poems

My brother tipped up on some luck,
And bought himself a brand new truck.
The truck was black,
And had great knack.
...

Life is a gift,
A beautiful gift—
Given to you and me.
...

If marriage is a fortune,
Then divorce is a misfortune:
Failure at one of the greatest
Attempts in life.
...

Singlehandedly, he changed the world
With his giftedness.
And carved his way into our lives
With his geniusness.
...

Miracles happen
Every day
To many a folk
In many a way.
...

There was a woman whose name was Bella.
She sported an old black umbrella.
The town folks were stunned
To find it was a gun
...

The holidays are upon us;
Excitement's in the air.
Folks hustling and bustling;
The traditional holiday flair.
...

The gentle rain visits,
Softly pouring down,
Clearing the air
Of the pollen around.
...

As a loose garment,
Let not the soul be bound to
Any worldly goods.
...
