Walterrean Salley Poems

From inside my home,
I could hear a voice in the street.
"Twas unfamiliar.
A loud, slurred, whiny sound—.
...

One was given a silver spoon
With which he should eat.
"Ahhhhhh! He said. This would make
My dinner the more sweet."
...

Struggling with a verse,
Trying to set a rhyme.
But couldn’t make it work
For the lack of certain chime.
...

Every day—
Sunup, sundown—
You will find
A chore ‘round.
...

Against the brightness
Of the sky,
Through the brushes
Of the trees—
...

Life points to something
Much bigger than itself.
For Life is a symbol of hope.
And hope is larger than life.
...

Tho' winter can be very harsh,
Yet there's something beautiful.
Something different.
Unique wintry features
...

Gray elements
Dominated the sky
With dampness all around.
Like a reed battered by time,
...

Luciano Pavarotti
Was a famous man
Who was known
All over the land.
...

With all
The stress that life
Heaps upon us daily—
Concerns of every kind: spouse, job,
...
