Best Wampanoag Poems

Hannah, I haven't seen or heard you cry
not in the gray of winter day
or in the cold silence of our prisoner nights,
the others can hardly keep up with you on the marches
your face is changeless as polished steel
and you speak like thunder in the distance...

A year has passed. The dark clouds still loom.
 From the sea voyage, harsh winter, disease, and doom.
 The Mayflower set sail 102 Pilgrims aboard,
 55 have went on to be with the Lord.

 God has heard the Saints and their cry,
 Not wanting them...

But learned what to eat from a sinner
In thanks for their living
They held a Thanksgiving
And ate Wampanoag for dinner...

The Truth About Thanksgiving

By Elton Camp

Thanksgiving gobbledygook

The following anecdote baste
upon overactive imagination of mine
in sync with being married

life as a scrupulous anchorite,
whose weather beaten corporeal flesh
plus sabotaged, riddled,
and tuckered psyche effaced
