Walterrean Salley Poems

You are your health, and your health is you.
How far you can go, how much you can do
Depends on how well you take care of you
The thought of good health, you have no clue.
...

From the
Hungry, to the
Giddy, to the grieved and
The distraught—facial expressions
...

My brother tipped up on some luck,
And bought himself a brand new truck.
The truck was black,
And had great knack.
...

If marriage is a fortune,
Then divorce is a misfortune:
Failure at one of the greatest
Attempts in life.
...

Life is a gift,
A beautiful gift—
Given to you and me.
...

Singlehandedly, he changed the world
With his giftedness.
And carved his way into our lives
With his geniusness.
...

Miracles happen
Every day
To many a folk
In many a way.
...

There was a woman whose name was Bella.
She sported an old black umbrella.
The town folks were stunned
To find it was a gun
...

As a loose garment,
Let not the soul be bound to
Any worldly goods.
...
