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 slacks
exposing the granduer of Gwendolyn Brooks
smile mastering greatness beneath broken
slacks on sunscreen porches even so
i dare change a thing about this glorious
day this Langston Hughes kind of day
