POEM OF THE DAY
"Faith" Is A Fine Invention

"Faith" is a fine invention
When Gentlemen can see—
But Microscopes are prudent
In an Emergency.

Flames
Smokey the Bear heads
into the autumn woods
with a red can of gasoline
and a box of wooden matches.
His ranger's hat is cocked
at a disturbing angle.
His brown fur gleams
under the high sun

Why Did You Let My Heart Beat? ?
My heart feels like loving you
but my footsteps stopped me
my heart and I convinced each other
and you signed the deal
I mildly sing to my ears
dancing alone to my tones
why did you pledged to be my solace
when you know you'll ditch me

Pretty women wonder where my secret lies.
I'm not cute or built to suit a fashion model's size
But when I start to tell them,
They think I'm telling lies.

You may write me down in history
With your bitter, twisted lies,
You may tread me in the very dirt
But still, like dust, I'll rise.

And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could

The Blue In Black
The blue in black is that sad void that echoes that something is missing. Maybe black is less and definitely not blessed. History tells of it, the future predicts it. The nagging insinuation that poverty is a black man's disease and sickness is his bed of straws. Billie Holiday sang of strange fruits, but maybe they still hang on trees in minds of a dark continent's complexities. It's sad and it's blue because many see it as true. It's sad and true. But it's true: the blue in black is true.

Smoky eyes with seductive lips inviting me to dip
In the fountain of love to be more fortunate
Her juicy lips invite me to quench my thirst to sip

Gray clouds capsized under the mornings shore
Inscribing the day with caliginous squall
Then, rain wrote itself into the plot
Splashing over gabled rooftops

Bits of dimpled light that want once again
To take full flight across the verdant glen

A sudden loud sound broke out all through the bush
With whizzing, shuddering, cracking, tearing, echoing,
