House Of Bread

House Of Bread 
Upon a humbled road ahead 
House Of Bread 
Abundance 
Symbolic 
A place of rest 
Meaningful traditions 
Spiritual beginnings 
Mountains to valleys 
Ancient path ways 
Pilgrimage engraved 
Passionate 
Devotion 
Put yourself last 
Therapeutic 
Give to others 
Nothing in return

My Kitchen is a Chameleon Like Me

color in my kitchen makes me smile
I must change it up after a little while
blue on Monday, on Wednesday it is red
On Thursday it’s yellow as I toast my bread
My kitchen is a chameleon just like me.
On Saturday it is pink as I drink peach tea.

Walt Disney's Mickey Mouse
Still struts through each media house,
With hose stretched tighter than his grin,
And yellow shoes too big for his thin shin.

Poor old Mickey Mouse
Minnie asking for a house 
dreams in the trash
they being short on cash

idyllic

through open windows
time drifts by soft and slow
heartbeat of my past remains

“Lavender memories linger.”

A House That Was Never Built

There is a house on a tree-lined street with beautiful pink roses blooming over a white picket fence, there are children playing in the yard and laughing almost as if they exist
There is a stone path walkway leading up to a wraparound front porch with a swing swaying in the breeze, as though someone just

Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse

wanted to buy a fancy estate house

went scurrying to a corporation bank

found it full of greedy glitzy  hanks ! 

Fiddler on the White House Roof

There's a fiddler on the White House roof.
As the world burns, he is clearly aloof.
Just like Emperor Nero,
he is surely no hero, 
and frankly we've had enough of this goof.

The lady who was in the white house

Culture and Taste**  
Her walk, her smile, and the way she carries herself embody something far greater than mere Black pride; they reflect the essence of a future First Lady. She knows the reality of being down on her luck and understands the struggle of facing financial hardships. Michelle Obama, a woman of substance,

House of Lies

I see a fire burning
the flames are getting high
The smoke is getting stronger
it’s spreading with each lie

The GOP’s on fire
there’s chaos everywhere 
The party known for hatred
is deep in their despair 

They chose a dirty conman 
a traitor and a thief 
To lead their party forward 
their Commander and their Chief

But now they’re in a

I live in an underground house

I live in an underground house
we built it eighteen years ago in a hill sloping south
from the road, our home is invisible
tree line of renegade shrubs hides us
our roof is four foot off the ground in the back
all of our windows and doors are in the front
the back is a solid wall of concrete
we live

Hell House

It bears repeating 
That life is fleeting
No one walks away from death

No way for beating 
No way for cheating 
We all face a final breath

In a house seeding
Evil was breeding
Encompassing every room

With no souls heeding
Time was now speeding 
Ever racing towards their doom

A demon's greeting 
For Satan's meeting
In this house we're all the same 

For

Houseboat

Lucid refractions prance in this day's gloaming
Window panes sway in play to each heave and hoe
Stirred by haunting echoes of distant loons wailing
My gaze awakens in sheets that float her still to and fro

Shimmering, the surface murmurs...Take the Plunge
A primal beckoning that whispers to us each by name
Push the door, step up to the dock's

The Transparent House

The house made of glass
Feel naked in the human eyes
It is so bold it is transparent
The facade full of inspiring flowers
The lights in each corner and the waterfalls
over view the place of happiness
And the clear blue sky
Stays calm warmth touch
To the universe distance
Full of joyous presence
And shouting for great freedom.

MOUSE HOUSE

MOUSE HOUSE*
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In my shoe, I found quite a sight,
a small mouse, with fur soft and light.
     He twitched and he squeaked,
     as I gasped and I freaked,
Then we both took off running in fright!

*This poem is written in memoriam and dedicated to the field mouse who mistakenly
