Hebert Logerie Poems

I love you because
Of your long frog toes,
Your strong and gentle body,
Your great personality,
...

Men must respect other men
Women must respect other women
Men and women must respect our children
And protect them so all can go to heaven.
...

(Poem Dedicated To Women's History Month)

The spring flowers ranked distant third,
Because they cannot conceivably smile,
...

I am lost, lost somewhere out in space,
With tears in my eyes, and sweats on my face.
I am lost, my mind is constantly wondering;
I am like an unconscious boxer in the ring.
...

There are sentences that are inaudible
And words that are passively silent
Oh! Words, verbs, innuendoes and pirouettes
We instantly ask incredulous questions.
...

L'homme est comme une ombre
Qui passe dans l'espace sombre,
Dans le temps qui ne bouge pas,
Dès l'enfance jusqu'au jour du trépas.
...

It is wonderful to see so many joyful faces,
To hear and experience the exchange of well wishes,
Among so many strangers and acquaintances.
...

From Toussaint L'Ouverture to Martin,
From Rosa Louise McCauley Parks to Obama,
Despite some gains, we have a long road ahead,
To reach a comfortable resting spot; alive or dead,
...

I love women for countless reasons:
They are the flowers of all seasons,
They bring happiness,
When and where things look grim and hopeless,
...

Il y a un poème qui vit dans mon cœur, c’est pour toi,
C’est de toi, Mignonne. Ce poème te ressemble.
Je l‘ai écrit pour toi, ce matin, avant l’arrivée de l’ombre.
Ses mots me hantaient depuis des temps, depuis des mois.
