A Farmer's Right Proud
Tilling the fields ‘neath a hot blazing sun
Removing the weeds when the rain's pouring down
Baling the hay in the heat and humidity
Breathe the dust of the chicken coop, abject...

PACKING UP HOUSE
Packing up house
I do not like
Much, rather fly a kite,
Or go on a hike!
We lived in our first home
Almost forever,
But in the last six years,
The third and most traumatic
Emotion in life,
Was packing up and moving.
It’s all about enduring!
This home was where
Our children grew up,
Graduations, celebrations,
Happy moments and sad
Where our parents died,
Where our hearts sadly...

Moonshiner's DittyI'ma gonna wake up, at the brink of dawn
Drink some coffee, throw my blue jeans on
The little red rooster is my alarm
Cock-a-doodle doodling on my farm
I'ma gonna water, all of my crops
Especially, my barley and hops
Then I'll roll up, a bunch of bales of hay
Where the goats...

Homing Bees(“Honeybee on Apple Blossom”, 2020, original pen and ink)
Homing Bees
Up before dawn
To bring home the bees,
Last evening’s swarm
So full and feisty,
And nestled in
Their new hive
They seem contented
Distracted and without concern
That in the end
They have only
Travelled a few feet
From their old home.
(7/3/25)...

Spins in song.' The magic's now all in a can.' Younger female backers
Parry times looming advance plan..' The age'd icon takes his glances
Across the acres, of yearning souls in hopefull trances..Parody banners they lie.' beneath sultry skies.' Echo the effigy of the past, See it...

We Wear The MaskWe Wear The Mask by Paul Laurence Dunbar
After poem by Olabosoye Wemimo Olaoluwa
Love of our land's labour should make us proud;
The efforts, time, and energy put through...
Well enough to place our pride clear as vowed.
But we wear the mask of pain we don't plowed,
When slavery is to labourers in blue...
Love of our land's labour...

Bones Remain AliveLoitering around at the expense
of my parents back,
I too wish to be at the resemblance
of hardworking thumbs,
those same fingers that sewed
the futile grounds back home,
my mother’s yuca farm,
my father's dying crops,
dance taking their final
waltz with the tumble-
weeds in direction
where my ancestors
sleep while their bones
continue...

The Spell of the Blessed Water Diviner
They called him the dosser.
A blessed man with a crooked,
bent and wobbly wishbone of wire,
held tight in clenched fist.
He fossicks spellbound
for water hiding deep below
in the groundwater.
His fingers compel the water
sleeping fifty feet down
to hear his call,
and echo a reply forthwith,
with a signal on the wire tap.
On some hot dry...

green threadThe earth holds stories, secrets old trees keep, deep inside, it's true,
?My uncle's farm, where family wisdom feels so real, fresh and new.
?When soil I touch, old memories bloom, like whispers from a cozy room,
?A history carried by the wind, chasing every scary, chilling gloom.
Yet most days, I’m trapped, a pheonix in...
