Hebert Logerie Poems

The sky is well-lighted with bright stars
The streets are littered with shiny cars
The motorists are playing Xmas carols
The children are excited ‘cause Mr. Claus
...

Not everyone
Is having a Merry Christmas
Not everyone
In the masse
...

New and old
Stories are told
Nothing is secret
Under the stars
...

Santa Claus has returned home
Little Jesus is now sucking his thumb
The Three Wise Men are rushing
To pay a visit to the Divine King
...

If you're hopeless
You are essentially dead
Where you're lifeless
And you do not see red.
...

Si no tienes esperanza
Usted está esencialmente muerto
Donde no tienes vida
Y no ves rojo.
...

An un-stopped new second
Something new to send
A baby, I am told
Who does not grow old
...

Un nuevo segundo sin parar
Algo nuevo para enviar
Un bebé, me dicen
Quien no envejece
...

As the world turns, it is experiencing
Constant changes, which are taking
Place all the time. If things don't change
Things go bad, rotten, spoiled, deranged
...

Bon appétit to all my fellow Haitians and friends,
Who will be drinking, eating, savoring soup joumou,
Which is made of squash, neck bones, macaroni, oxtails,
Carrots, yams, celery, parsley, and countless vegetables.
