I Am Anaya Poet Rhyme

Notes About The Poem

Wallart Tinted Fresco

I’m building a wall
Ochre color, tan and tall
I hired an artist to paint a mural
Graffiti subtleties that will unfurl
White-washed and Chicano like me
I fell hard for him, exposing clarity
I knew there was no chance in hell
He’d choose a brown, White-washed Chicana for a spell
So, I’ll just play the victim and twist truth around
And make myself feel safe and sound
With my awesome poetry that I have in a bank
After twenty years of writing, I should be swank
There are plenty of Chicano painters in stock
I'll pay 'em with personal poems I keep under lock
I hear Cheech paints, Keanu Reeves too
He’s Hawaiian but he’ll surely do

David Mchattie May 31, 2023 at 4:13 AM Nothing like a little amorous poetry at 5 in the morning. It brought a smile to my face. Thanks. Wonderful way to start the day... coffee and a little poetry. Thanks my friend. I Am Anaya May 31, 2023 at 8:34 AM We share the same good times, cafe` a must, then poetry! Thank you, David, this is standup comedy with a touch of lusting pleasure. Have a nice day.

Panagiota Romios May 30, 2023 at 2:07 PM Another excellent wrote. Be proud of your heritage, always Your image outstanding….. Your writing is edgy,,a great thing. You know I admore perplexed su afraid to be themselves. A heart in apoem, far more powerful than innocuous emptiness. This is a hard world Hugs, Panagiota Xx I Am Anaya May 30, 2023 at 6:03 PM Thank you, Pangie! I've had an explosive experience, that actually turned out to be a God send, to reinvent myself and just be free to be me. A hard world indeed, and even though I wear a smile, there are many tears that flow behind the scenes. Hugs to you! ;D

Victor Buhagiar May 30, 2023 at 2:17 AM Loved your poem. I read it at a steady pace and it was great. I Am Anaya May 30, 2023 at 8:56 AM Really, I was going to take it down, this resulted from the WTF contest, a parody. It's hilarious, had a good time! Truth is, I only started writing a year and a half ago! I have no idea if Cheech or Keanu paint. Lol Thank you, Victor xhugsx
