Mrs. Yolanda Nicholsen Poet Epyllion

It's a Langston Hughes kind of day

It's a Langston Hughes kind of day 
filled with dutiful hints of Robert frost 
within the sudden humor and vague 
eccentricity of Ernest hemmingway 
the quiet freedom of Nikki Giovanni 
with a cunning soul shaking enlightment 
of Maya Angelo tinged with the noble
excitement of John keats as the clouds 
move into this rapture an intriguing sheer 
fondness of William butler Yeats while 
the soft dem lights over the lake hits 
my minds eye just so as I'm quite 
taken by the sinking thoughts of 
Virginia woolf beckoning my innermost 
calm peeking through wooden slats 
exposing the granduer of Gwendolyn Brooks 
smile mastering greatness beneath broken 
planks on the sunscreen porches even so 
i dare change a thing about this glorious 
day this Langston Hughes kind of day

Victor Buhagiar April 23, 2024 at 1:19 AM You mention John Keats, one of my favorite poets. Many contend he would have been greater than Shakespeare, had he not died young. May you have a glorious day with this beautiful poem. Mrs. Yolanda Nicholsen April 23, 2024 at 11:53 AM Thank you for your kindness Victor you have yourself a glorious day A well.
