The Black Poet

I am the black poet with black book The dark gold the black diamond As hot as hot coal with out harm The dark cloud with Clement weather Cooking black words in the kitchen of dark light and black pots Driving Literature with bouncing rhymes Like a black taxi driver with poetic license
