Tamara Beryl Latham Poems
Her form holds the scent of Jasmine,
Slight like Laura Wingfield and fragile
as pieces of a Crystal menagerie.
...
They gather at the folding table
like a murder of crows,
sitting on a rocky ledge,
or evil gatekeepers of extermination
...
Tamara to Emily
for Emily Dickinson
We viewed the lighted houses well below,
...
As I closed my eyes that night,
I took a voyage through the sea.
He showed me worlds we've yet to know,
He showed me things still yet to be.

The Best Poem Of Tamara Beryl Latham
Starvelings
Starvelings
While drought sweeps
across the Serengeti,
armies of ants,
red as the Martian soil,
scurry into well-constructed
dirt mounds.
A few stop
to reinforce an image
within the mind of the observer,
who clearly views them
(in that histrionic moment)
laughing at tribal elders,
performing another useless
rainmaking ritual.
The children,
(Tanzania's pride)
whose tears drip
onto cracked earth's barren landscape,
whose eyes reflect the heat of hopelessness,
and whose bellies
(pregnant with hunger)
easily trumpet a correlation
between Entropy and Murphy's Law.

Tamara Beryl Latham Quotes
'Truth, like light, is often slanted'... Tamara Beryl Latham ©
When we fail to use our brains, the losses far outweigh the gains.
Do it yourself and you'll only have yourself to blame.
They say it's black, you say it's brown, I say it's brindle. We all see the same thing through different eyes.
Only lend money you can afford to lose; because, more than often, you will.
Revenge is the fool's way of dealing with pain.
Don't be afraid to take advice from a fool: sometimes he's smarter than you are.
The ones who are dwarfed by glass ceilings, bump their heads, break through on the way up, then emerge as giants.
A wish is but a dream we never share.
Don't tell me what I cannot do, let me show you what I can.
'If you are reluctant to take advice from a fool, don't be! Oftentimes he is just a reflection of you.'
'A liar's truth, like light, is always bent.'
'Though you are there and I am here too long. Every star I see I think of you.' ©2009
