Walterrean Salley Poems

Thoughts are powerful.
Such concepts of the mind
Are ever forming images
And ideas of every kind.
...

Babies are so sweet,
They’ll sweep you off your feet.
And twins are double the delight.
Their separate little styles
...

The poet wrote ten-thousand visions
Of life, and hope and love,
But never envisioned the world would note
The pieces that he wove.
...

Nostalgic.
Familiar sounds.
Homey sights
All around.
...

You’re like a big sister.
I miss our chats and girly talk.
...

Laughter is infectious.
It is a joyful sound that
Once it starts ringing,
Passes all around.
...

Time is as gracious as it is fragile,
But it waits upon no man.
And if one would have his footprints
Etched in the sand,
...

Another challenge.
Another day.
How to speak,
What to say.
...

Let peace and harmony,
Like a dove,
Light every heart
With the fire of love.
...

Meeeow. Meeeow. Meeeow.
Hungry. Dirty. Emaciated.
One could count its ribs.
...
