Best Boneblack Poems
the soft yellow streaked the terra cotta,
shadowing the speckled sallow saffron
a bluish buff upon the cochineal;
brilliant boneblack
grizzled the engrain
citrine carnation
as
the fallow flaxen,rustic rubrical
rainbow-tinted
the magenta mandarine;
unseen
the ultra-marine, tinged burnt sienna,
reflecting a golden flame of raw umbery upon
the earth green;
bright mosaic gold
mottled the sallow sorrel
virent yellow,oak stained
the pale apricot;
while
blood red,reddish russet
dotted the olive lind;
freckled crimson,
a chestnut maroon,
on fuchsias faded apple green
as burnt umber sank deep
into its sanguine slumber.

The soft yellow streaked the terra cotta,
shadowing the speckled sallow saffron

citrine carnation as the fallow flaxen,
rustic rubrical rainbow-tinted
the magenta mandarine;unseen

freckled crimson,a chestnut maroon,
on fuchsias faded apple green as burnt
umber sank deep into its sanguine slumber.

BLACK BORN
When next you think of BLACK!
Think of coal,
think of massive power plants.
Who will give a "NO"
to a flashy hour glass.
Think of the ace of spades,
it's the highest in the deck of playing cards
The face of Blades
The type that be cutting hard.
Think of the dark night..
The precidence of a beautiful dawn..
Think of its might.
The bright of a powerful town
Think of a skillet,
for once, the fry of a tastefull source..
The messenger of a longing rouse and..
The blessing of an empty pouch
Think of a Black box,
Think of its saving grace.
The epochs,
the beginning of many races.
Whenever you think
a Black market stinks,
consider its reach
And not the rich.
When I think of the black eye,
the type carried by "black I"
It Makes me cry and...
I can't but wonder why?
We sweep the award Plaques
We blaze the tracks
Always ahead of the pack
A very Hard nut to crack
We tough to the bone
Forget the tone
We are Boneblack
And glad to be born black
