MLK: THE EBONY HUED HUMAN DOVE
He came bearing a dream for humanity;
Teaching nonviolence, peace, and love:-
He was a drum major for human equality;
Sent down to us by the Creator from above:-
In this world a continuing monstrous feud
Men women and children's lives constantly hued
Environmental vandals a desire to denude
Extinction seems likely one must conclude
Unless from within self love we must include
Pray that joy and truth and laughter will forever exude
I know that every time I see
The pink-hued blossoms of a tree
There’s no way I can feel depressed,
For this is Nature at her best.
The rosy petals gently sway
When breezes blow and if they stay
Some flowers flutter through the air
And near the trunk add color there.
Throughout the spring, these trees retain
Their beauty and will thus remain
The muse for rhyming poetry
Like Kilmer wrote, improved by me!
I paused, the moonlight to inhale
As I put my steep climb on hold
Thick grape vines held tight in my grasp.
On I climbed to clutch a buttress
My breath reduced unto a gasp.
On I clambered higher to clasp
The dark hued castle tower cap
I donned my rig to glide away
And soar over broad moonlit vale.

Constance La France
Black as the night
my sable soul sings songs
of Nubian ancestors
sleeping behind closed eyes
in the depths of the inner sanctum
of the womb of mind—silhouettes of beings
peeking through dark skies across ebony horizons.
Granny said, “The blacker the berry;
the sweeter the juice—that I was created
in the image…God don’t like ugly…
never made none but crème de la crème…
That like the ivory clouds of the sapphire sky,
I too, am the apple of His eye.”
