Poem Title:
Poem
The stage was being set. I needed to get out of the way so that I Would not end up squashed by the stage's immense size. Yet even as the edges of the stage did nudge me, I could Feel the softness all around. Then I started to hear the notes of distant music all around me, And started to walk a bit in order to check out more of my surroundings. I come up to pen which contained a large black bull whose name was Sombrero. Sombrero I know is a strange name for anything or anyone as it is the Spanish Word for hat. I know that sometimes that the color black can mean death yet the flip side of Black can mean strength. There was more life popping up around me as many people in colorful clothing Appeared all around me. Spanish influence all around me...Mariachis played their instruments, the brass of saxophones, the beat of tambourines which were held up high in the sky, the Guitars were being played so skillfull. I walked along slowly with a smile. There was a huge table off to the side where sweet ladies piled our plates high With tamales, chimmis,tacos, refried beans and rice, then they handed us cups of Lemonade to slake our thirst. Then toward the front of the stage there the host sat on a high throne like Chair as he oversaw the merriment take place. This gentleman wore a suit and a matching top hat ... both checkered in black And white. I walked up to him in the way of greeting. He tilted his head and looked straight into my eyes. He was clearly also of Spanish decent. I kissed him on top of his head. His smiled deepened and his eyes were very glad. When I woke the music continued to play on.
