Best Chronicled Poems
Fighting the DragonInto the valley of death
Fighting the dragon demon
Numb from the heat of his breath
Deaf to the yellin' and screamin'
Lying in vomit and left for dead
An angel of mercy arrived
Touching the sickness inside my head
How lucky I was to survive
Battles regaled in chronicled tales
As scars from...

Anything But BreadAnything but bread
I bumped into a man named Fred
And listened to each word he said
A story I was soon to dread
For all he talked about was bread
In detail he spoke every slice
Some made of wheat and some of rice
There’s cinnamon and sugar spice
And sourdough he...

The Mask of LabradoriteThrice the night—the day!—both fell to sleepless slumber,
But now in Spring, though yet again: The third was three in number.
I sense a wince remind itself,
Of what it means to be,
Instead to beg for booked shelf,
To see without a key.
A wince doth lurk wearing which...

In a world where I do not existIn a world where I do not exist,
stars will still glow like sequins of lilac.
Nightingales would serenade hope,
fields of fickleness would fade,
unfolding grains of gold in bloom,
cultivated with candor and calmness.
The moon will...

Letters To Theo
In the course of years,
Vincent wrote out his heart.
Capturing his thoughts,
Around his life and art.
Sunflowers were his muse,
As he painted through the rain.
He beautified the canvas,
While adding hints of pain.
His heart, mind, and soul,
Were his artistic trio.
He chronicled his life of art.
In his letters to...

BloodlinesIt matters not you have the blood of heroes.
It matters not your family's claim to fame.
It matters not your riches and possessions.
What matters now is how you bear the name;
For though you have the blood of kings and heroes,
And their exploits have been chronicled through...

One Dark and Misty NightThere is a place inside the woods where I wound up one night
Way up in the mountains where I went to get a bite
Circumstances led me there the day my car broke down
I thought I’d get a meal as I was stranded near the town
It...

In Older WritesIn older writes today I take a peek
I read what brings me joy and what brings pain
A message left: a gift that I still seek
I see a face, and tears fall fast like rain
The writes and rhymes have chronicled my life
Like dearest friends the words...

Cities In FlightIn Cities in Flight
transformations are chronicled over generations.
It can make us cry
out for the genius occurring
now and in our past. How
the unseen, unknown participant
was made known to himself
through devotion to those outside himself. He
guides his city
into space.
So, the father and the teacher
guide the family and...

Frantz Fanon (From Pages)Martinique is in our history too
Not just in our blood
Because Josephine seduced him
To make us reap more bitterness
From the ferment of the sugarcane
Martinique was also his home
His native shore
Long before Paris
It was his Algerian door
But why should I tell you this
For it is chronicled
In us...
