Upbuilding Poetry
My cousin Nick and I went down to town
To take a gander at what’s goin’ down
Long lines of people at the coffee shop
So many people it was `bout to pop
Both of us wondered what the buzz was
“Come on let’s go and check it out, Cuz”
Hey Nick, ol’ Brandy’s reading poetry
Some of the best if you are asking me
Y'all can tell that girl is from the South
Poetic verses flowing from her mouth
Y'all come down now take a look-see
Hey Nick, ol’ Brandy’s reading poetry
The next day Nick and I returned to town
Another gander at what’s going down
Long line of people at the bookstore
More people than we seen the day before
Said Nick “Let’s stand in line and buy her book”
We joined the queue and got a better look
Hey Nick, ol’ Brandy’s writing poetry
Some of the best if you are asking me
Poetic verses flowing from her pen
With Southern flavor and a touch of Zen
Y'all come down now take a look-see
Hey Nick, ol’ Brandy’s writing poetry
At last, we made it to front of the line
She signed our books said “Hope you’re doing fine”
Tongue-tied and nervous nothing did come out
Even poor Nick could not open his mouth
We hurried out and headed back to home
So we could read her poems in peace alone
Hey Nick, ol’ Brandy’s tender poetry
Conveys a feeling of tranquility
Her little scribbles serve to spring hopeful
Her messages of love reclaim the soul
Y'all come down now have a look-see
Discover Brandy’s tender poetry

As this COVID-19 pandemic rages all around us, how encouraged I am when poets, like Brandy and others, use their gift of poetry to build up one another.
