Long Boos Poems

I wish I would've noticed, noticed you weren't fine.
You laughed with me the day before...
And now I wish that I would've said "I love you...

When tragic car accident happened

Woke up seeing people’s faces
Tried to return to College

You are here where I once sat 

Clutching the reigns  

Playing political games  

Taking over my tasks  

Saying ‘I am not wearing any deceptive masks’ ...

She really wanted to see a ghost…ecstatically excited.
She heard this place had plenty, and a spooky atmosphere.
She’d have to pinch herself, ready to cheer…elated.

He’s a scaredy-cat!...

"The Impersonator"
Discovered on karaoke night 
A few friends gave him a dare
To imitate the star he thought most of 
For a hundred bucks if he cared

He got up on stage and sang with a whimper

Changing taxes has its limits
with no jobs for the...

How come many mothers forgot that breastmilk is STILL,
And ALWAYS will be BEST, for babies suckling lips???

What’s next then?

The twinkling of a star turning into cliché,
Repeated only in nursery rhymes?

Memories of long walks drowned by...

Hens never miscarry 
Cows don’t hutch 
Pointing fingers, the norm
A person killed by his persona

My ego shadows my vision 
My fault lines… eyelided by ignorance
Ego contesting with my vision
Mission straying from vission

Set up for a season of lines, launch angles and curve balls
With straight chalky lines leading to a field of dreams
Where line-ups keep the line moving...

Some fall and are slightly bruised, some...

I went through a lot...

Black History Month is recognized almost everywhere;
I’d watch shows like Roots  but didn’t care.
Slaves sold from one master to another;
Separated from mother, father, sister and brother.
On the plantations picking cotton;
Praying to God they won’t...

of when we took our children to the ball park to watch grown men at play.

We were in the stands with our baseball caps on...
