Best Hued Poems
Dreams Hued In Cherry BlossomsShe walks underneath the pink sunshade trees
dressed in flowing antique white bridal gown.
Un-dissuaded heart, to laugh, love, a peace
drawn to fragments of leaves rustling around.
The start of spring; radiant glow of pink.
A fountain of cherry blossom petals trace
down to the ground dressing the green....

Of An Ebony Hued Mid-Summer Night Dream: Apropos of We Kings, Queens, and the Fiery FurnaceOF AN EBONY HUED MID-SUMMER NIGHT DREAM
(Apropos of We Kings, Queens, and The Fiery Furnace)
Indeed, this is a day the Lord has made:-
Considering last night’s revelation dreaming,
Waking up into this day the Lord has made,
I must enjoy and be glad for being still vertical.
Although “The...

'the Multi-Hued Beauty'Situated on the Southern tip of Africa
Where two oceans meet, lies my country of birth
A rainbow nation is what we are called
With eleven official languages
and many diverse cultures
it is not difficult to grasp why...
Skeptics said we would never make it,
against all odds we...

A Sable Hued Awakening: For Richard WrightA Sable Hued Syllabic Awakening…
(For Richard Wright)
Even snakes have love…
but no one wants their embrace;
such coiled loneliness…
Yet nature provides…
eggs are laid…babies are hatched
and snakes slitter on.
Pity…we’re not snakes…
our eggs denied their seeds…
food for the human mongoose.
Yet…we are like dough…
rising in our due season…
and nature provides...

Hued BluesWell well well, my cadenced fellow
shinin' disposition all sunny yellow
hued think, I'd be in the pink
but I can't see nothin' but the blues
I'm feelin' down, a bit odd 'n' strange
can't wrap my tastes around juicy orange
penchant you'd think, would be in the pink
but I can't...

Of Charcoal Hued MemoriesBlack as the night
my sable soul sings songs
of Nubian ancestors
sleeping behind closed eyes
in the depths of the inner sanctum
of the womb of mind—silhouettes of beings
peeking through dark skies across ebony horizons.
Granny said, “The blacker the berry;
the sweeter the juice—that I was created
in the image…God don’t...

MULTI-HUED DAMSEL IN THE BEAUTY OF HER WETNESSOut of the womb of seedless water came her birth,
And no less than always has been her silent beauty;
Radiant essence, crowning the earth’s heavenly throne:-
She’s a special reflective bouquet of God’s creativity;
Mothering sun smoothing each of her rays into its chosen place
As her regal dome...

Man-Made, Yet a Human Brain Was Cooked Into Stygian-Hued Glass By Spilling Lava In 79adA curve of sky
in a corner cusps a smooth,
thick dusting
of carrot-mauve hues
tonight. Drapes over heather
trees
whose arms
and hands bend with this drowsy sky
as it starts
to fall asleep-
the cyrean "silk" upon
which this
cantaloupe tint
is traced, daubed, by the brushstrokes
of Mother...

A Pink-Hued TreeI know that every time I see
The pink-hued blossoms of a tree
There’s no way I can feel depressed,
For this is Nature at her best.
The rosy petals gently sway
When breezes blow and if they stay
Some flowers flutter through the air
And near the trunk add...

Autumn's Hued DelightThe wisps of the climbing clouds float slowly away,
brushing the azure of the end-summer’s ashen sky.
The returning birds bathe in the glint of the blue bay,
in the twilight gleam to the amber nests they all fly,
as autumn arrives gathering crystal ambiance on...

Many-Hued Pubs Bid Me WelcomeMany-hued pubs bid me welcome
As would friends on the street
And so does Cromwell Bridge
Where long ago we first met.
I see the fields where we played
And plucked up the kerry violets.
I gaze out over the dark bay

Hued Dawn RisesHUED DAWN RISES
When the hued dawn rises from the horizon in flair
I find my mind morphing into a beautiful butterfly.
On its wings the tapestry of dream begins to fly
with all the colors of the heart to the future.
The fractured future tumbles in the sunset storm,
the...

Hued Message of HopeThe mystery seeds I received in mail,
I did not order, truly surprised me a lot.
Before these got rotten, and turned stale,
out of curiosity I put these in earthen pot.
In the care of the hot summer sun,
nursed by me with profuse water spray,
before the due time...

A MEMO TO SPRING HARVESTING OF HUED GRAPS OF WRATHThe winter of our discontent is over,
the Merciful God of the oppressed
has seen to the de-icing of our hued souls;
and the blossoming essence of our liberation.
The grapes of spring are plentiful
and the heat of the sun is upon them
but they must not be allowed to...
