Baugh Poems | Examples


Origin By Design

On my upcoming vacation
wouldn't mind going to 
visit a creation museum,
for instance,
seeing the one in Kentucky
would be one of my life long dreams,
growing up I heard at
school a lot of evolutionary tales,
so in my youth I thought
we all used to be more
hairy and walk around 
bent over like a neanderthal,
also believing that we were
all cave men and women
speaking unga-bunga words,
men hitting women over
the head and dragging them 
around is really quite absurd,
thats why I admire the creation
archeologists like Dr. Carl Baugh
and many others in this field,
as they are always finding evidence
of intelligent design on
their archeology digs down
in the sedimentary layers
of the rock and lignite,
to me evolution is just
a backwards notion
that one day we will
evolve into gods and
is a total waste of time!

Psalm 14:1 The fool hath said in his heart that there is no God...

Miss Claris

Out of the hills of St. Catherine and the plains of Linstead 
emerge a warrior princess…
A victor not a victim of her circumstances, struggles or plight
Miss Claris

With warm, loving, industrial hands she raised a large bunch of children…
Curry saltfish, roti, curry goat, fried chicken,
Mackerel run-down, roast yam, bammy
She could cook it all…
Miss Claris

Fierce, blunt, tell it like it is –Miss Claris
She has an endless list of alias for everyone-
Miss Uptown (that’s me), Dunnie, Baugh, Tony, Pauline, Junie, Mellow, Mousy, Sueie, Manchin, Chu-cho, Lovene, Darkie, Sam, Tin-Tin, Troy, PAULINE
Miss Claris
A fantastic sense of style, unconventional sense of religion, devotion to family and friends and a beautiful smile:
Miss Claris

The Edge's Mill Inn

I came to rest 
At the Edge's Mill Inn
But that old smell missed
I just smelled again.

The longing quenched 
My surprise of you 
Then I knew
The old smell here

Was that old smell there 
In your home at Spring Ridge Farm
And the longing kept
Coming in waves.

So,  I went up to my bed 
In the Joseph Baugh room
Filled with seafaring things 
And a theme of sailor dreams
Where I arose at three
And stole the silken rose
Red from those 
In Gail's make-as-they-stay librarae.

Then swiftly like an old salt 
Raising the main sail I drove 
To Spring Ridge Farm 
In the night 
Where you slept 
Inside with that old smell
That I could not smell
And left that rose not living
Trapped in your front door

And drove back 
To the Edge's Mill Inn
To that old smell missed
I just smelled again.
