Short Angelo Poems

Grounded by emotions is the messenger.

Witnesses kiss teeth and let off sighs.

A child asked her mother "Why did the angel fall from the sky?"

She replied, It's heart was too heavy to fly....

There once was a girl from San Angelo

who used a cell phone for friends she did know.

She’d ring a tune, talk till they had to go.

Her bill was huge

Dad became scrooge 

Phone now sits in his locked drawer just so....

Don't eat off the tips of  your pens
tomorrow they might earn you a living

Don’t play with your pieces
Tomorrow they might start working

Don’t clean any of your lines
Tomorrow they might save a life

Poets are gods 
They grow old like the earth

Indelibly,
There works live like the cloud

“I created myself”

Dedicated to Mariah
Angelo. Deid may

Zora Neal saw that Their Eyes Were Watching God, when
Toni Morrison heard The Song of Solomon, and
James Baldwin Told It on the Mountain, while
W.E.B. DuBois embraced The Souls of Black Folks
Richard Wright was a Black Boy, that’s why
Dr. Maya Angelo Knew Why the Caged Bird Sang
Iyana Vanzant found Peace Within Pieces, when
Lorraine Hansberry ate a Raisin in the Sun, while
Terry McMillian was Waiting to Exhale...

Juss two “Angelheaded hipsters” 
Dancin’ jazz riffs in da ring,
Teachin’ Liston, teachin’ Rexroth, 
Teachin’ Dylan how to sing. 
Dey be baaad poets.

Used to make da critics howl, 
Den pick da round dey gonna fall.
Smoked da pot to call da kettle 
An example to us all.
Dey be baaad poets.

So juss where do baaadness come from? 
Who done train dem how to be?
Some say William Carlos Williams. 
Some say Angelo Dundee.
Dey be baaad poets....

Here’s a little taste of life from a different point of view.
Look closely, and you may see a very little part of you.
These are pictures of things that you see around you every day.
But, now you can see them up close, in a different kind of way.

So, the next time that you look at a piece of wood or stone,
Think about how it looks, sitting in the dirt and all alone.
Pick it up and look at it closely to see what you can see.
And remember that these small things are a part of you and me....
