I would definitely be vintage
Structure of a bus never seen
Wheels that would be superb
Conditioned Engine
That works
Built to withstand all kinds of weather
Headlights that flashed showing clever
Long lasting forever
Seats that would recline with passenger feet raising for relaxation like no other
No malfunctions
Really, but couldn’t promise
Ok, maybe I am over emphasizing
Crystal clear winds bringing passenger scenery up close and personal
Devices to keep the Motor Coach Operator awake and alert
Remember, I am a one of kind bus that no one has seen
A crash is not an option, but vintage is only a reminder
I would be a bus that no one will ever forget
However, that goes without saying
What kind of bus you ask that I would be?
That is a secret
I will never tell
Don’t bother to find out the bus manufacturer
He is on a locked down campaign
You talk your fired
The only clue I will state, I would be a Highway Motor Coach into the open freeway
That’s my bus telling moment.

What are words to inspire?
What are sentences to expel the message?
Words responded to me and stated, “You have come a long way”
A journey through the pains and struggles
Inspiration was never easy
A road of torment like fire
Burning deep and raging wild
No one had any idea
Emotions were on fear
I refused to let what I felt out
Somewhere somehow my destiny is circling all around me
Storms come but stay awhile
I feel trapped within my own time zone being nowhere
What was strength has become weak
What was assured is now doubt
My heart throb has no enthusiasm
My mind blinded
Darkness seeing no light
What direction to I take?
I can’t stop now, but must push on
Standing alone
Even my tears wonder
My soul has gone yonder
My dreams are now my nightmares
They are all frights
Stuck and drawn
Perhaps being an overlap
The Night stars laugh
The Moon refuses to shine
My tomorrow was yesterday
Time expired
Tomorrow came and went

Get rid of all clutter of your mind
Transform your memories of bad experiences
Let new beginnings relish
Surface your thoughts from ocean deep to the shore
Start a totally new slate
Anticipate
Today is your tomorrow
See regrets as encouragement in truly forgetting
What seems far is closer than you think
Hold true fulfillment close and near
Forget the fear
Accomplishments start by efforts
Possibilities in moving agenda’s
Finish and complete
A clear desk becomes content with a mindset of assurance
Utilizing full control of one’s own influence
Certain
Fulfillment of your life can begin
Clear and ready
Holding steady
All clear being uplifted
Mindset full of ideas
Preserver
Edited mindset
Go and complete your assignment

My Funeral is here and now
Your tears aren’t sincere
You are full of guilt
You really didn’t care when I was living
You are probably glad I departed
You are only at my Funeral just to see for yourself I am truly deceased
Friends and Family in pretend
My final chapter came to an end
Don’t look down at me in the coffin
There was no love for me on Earth when I was living
I am flyting in spirit like a Dove
Heaven is my new home
Peace and comfort to roam
Time moved on
I am where I belong
My days on Earth meant nothing
I gave my all on Earth
The world took my life for granted
It meant nothing
I am on Transcend mode
Forget me
You are not worthy
My enriched my beginning
My fulfillment complete
Tomorrow is my new day
I did my best
I am no longer among
My praise in God’s honor
Suffer for the living on Earth
You showed yourself and I proved myself
I am among the Believers
My baggage soul is packed and steady
I am on ready
My Heavenly room reserved
This is what I deserve
My moment came quick
I am at the highest
Gone Forever

Words don’t always come
Sometimes my mine is lonesome
At times Poets feel they aren’t Poets
Storms torment the spirit
It feels like a detour having a blockage
Emotions sealed like a hidden trap door
The battles between the words and sentences
No beginning. Nor ending
Sustain within
Loss for expression
One letter at a slow call
Unable to respond
Inspiration down
The Poet being nowhere to be found
Failure in own right
Poet relishing plight
The battle strong and intense
A Poet’s life could very well be past tense
Words missing the bull’s eye
All a Poet can do is cry
Letters from words
Mind and voice, we need to talk
Every pause is a Poet’s stalk
There must be a mindset
Writing is about creating the effect
Then something happens behind the Poet’s words
They construct
Suddenly encouragement comes from Poetry readers
Writing and sentences come back
The battle is no longer a struggle
Echoes comes to the Poet, “Come back to the writing saddle”
Be a Poet you are meant to be
Be committed and devoted for the world to continue to see
Poet in
Writing boldly out
Insight
Poet back

Mountains are not easy to climb, but one must be determined
Obstacles become circumstances
Challenging yourself through endurance
Staying positive working through negative influence
A mission one must pursue
Distance far and beyond
Standing on your own morals and disciplines
Dr. King’s voice said, “I am going to win”
Civil Rights Movement caught the attention of the world and Washington
Enough was Enough of being deprived
It was time to receive dignity like any other Ethnic group
We must continue the fight in Dr. King’s legacy as the work is not done
Dr. King made his commitment and fought a good fight
His devotion of Civil Rights must continue in all of our efforts
Dr. King is looking down on us from the Mountain Top
We must fulfill where Dr. King loss his life and strive in his honor
Hold steady
It’s not over
We must succeed going forward and not pause
Standards are what we can demand
Freedom is our right
Living shouldn’t be to have or not plight
Darkness is what holds us back
Light directs our inspired path
Truth is what needs to be recognized
Having an agenda that must be emphasized
Together strong
The Heaven’s wants us to get along
Gods create
Love embarked being appreciate
The world relishes on hate
That is something to anticipate
Tomorrow seeing a vision
A future bright with a fulfilling sunrise and sunset
All the goodness adding to the effect
Every challenge a break through
Every struggle guided through pray
Every blessing a lesson
Make one prove, and the mission is on the move
Dr. King was definitely a leader
Getting everyone to see his agenda
Showing be solid as a rock, “We shall not be moved”
Dr. King had everything to prove
No matter what storm came his way
He was going to finish his promise and not estray
Dr. King has gone on to his reward
Remembrance in Dr. Kings inflection
He started his commitment
Let’s continue on his dream

Blessings fulfilled
Blessings one can’t count
Praise to the Mount
Believing throughout on every score
Faith accomplished with relishing soar
Assurance felt
Goodness that followed
Trust made that obvious
Multiply after multiply
Praying upon praying being the reason why
Reason for praise
Acknowledge the amaze
Overloaded blessings
Achieving in honesty
Purpose destined
Mission to be involved
Stand and Praise who resolved
Ready and prepared
Let the heart praise out
Take the blessing in

Dream of buses
The mold of craftsmanship
Honor in the bus name
Destination striving from the heart
Tomorrow’s open road calling
The sun has risen in a new day
Suddenly a bus glistens for all too see
Vintage bus appears
A Bus Pioneer shares his bus storytelling soul
The day he drove and the experience he felt
The dream became a reality
Buses of the past were relived in the present
You never know what bus will pass by
You simply wave and embrace
You think to yourself, “Thank you for showing me the Bus way”
Bus recognition making its mark
Bus collectors are the start
Being the target with precision
Buses seem to know the bus collector’s heart
Remembrance, reflect, imagine and be amazed
Bus Collector’s understanding
Sustaining
A bus collector’s dream come true
You’re the bus truth
Buses are all around you and in you
Pursue with a mission
Stand strong in your commitment
Your involvement is proven
Echoes upon echoes chanting, “Don’t ever let go, Don’t ever let go, Don’t ever let go”
Step aboard the bus, and be inspired
Don’t tire nor expire
This is your moment in time
Buses dream perhaps
Endless road into the mainstream of buses

As the music raises in rehearsal
The Dancer alone in preparation
Represent will be a present
Talent in perfection
Moving the audience into performing arts appreciation
Dance assemble motion of flow
Contour stamina
Music being high and low
The dance sometimes being with the tempo slow
Immediately an upbeat tempo mighty and strong
Dance Feet Dance
The audience is caught off guard into a trance
Their minds are transcending like an avalanche
The spotlight adding to the effect
Echoing sounds of being a free spirit
Dance Dance Dance

Yesterday’s perfection with tomorrow’s craftsmanship

Life’s promises
A sense of purpose

Efforts that led being accomplished
Ups and Down’s
Committed to live
Desired to strive
Assurance of the heart
Birth of determination
Freedom within rejuvenation
Refreshing morning winter wind
Love nurturing like a warm sun
Welcomed in living
Possibilities within
One voice that knows and eyes that show
Seeing beyond the clouds and the shores
Imaging dreams as reality
Knowing what how one is supposed to live
Remembering all the advice that made encouragement possible
Stepping out on Faith in courage
Moment in time to think
A time to wonder
Looking yonder
Moment of thought
Prepared to live and excel

John Wayne couldn’t be found
The Indian’s all left town
John Wayne wasn’t on the seen
The Indian’s refused to be mean
Marshall Dillon moved from Dodge City
The west was thinking oh what a pity
The Stage Coaches loss their map for direction
Show me the way to Hollywood
Not by way of chopping wood
Even the Mountains didn’t applaud
Oh Lord
The west always thought they won
Somewhere they were outdone
The west having a name
That will remain
Some think the west was lame
Who are you going to blame?
Fuss Fuss Fuss
Back on the road on a bus
On a mission being a must
The west you thought
No battle fought
East went West
I feel I am testing a test
Free spirit at least
The Indian’s put their arrows in storage
At least they had courage
The West in their ways
History made back in the day

Eat, Cook and Serve
Feel the flavor you deserve
Blender galore
Add the Hamburger for sure
Seasoning adds to the goodness
Let taste be your witness
Sloppy Joe at its best
Many have eaten can contest
Enjoy and sit back
Watch TV and relax
Weekend ending fun
Sloppy Joe is ready and done
What more than can be enjoying than Poetry Sloppy Joe being the words among.

It all started without a Poet effect
The words similarly thought of the Poet being a reject
It goes back to a Poetry book
There was no Poet to take a look
The sentences and words collaborated together
The Poet became no other
The sentences and words held their own meeting
They felt they were the purpose and meaning
What do you think a Poet would think about that?
The Poet would say they are no longer needed
It wouldn’t matter because the words and sentences have their own concept
The sentences and words have their own amaze
The Poet always gets the praise
Poet’s minds are the ideas
The sentences and words felt left out
The door is always open for them to enter
The sentences and words made their point
Poets out
Sentences and words in
The sentences being the words were now Editor In Chief
That doesn’t give Poet’s any relief
Poets and words with sentences will have to work this situation out
I hear in the background Poet’s shout
Theory has it, why doesn’t Words, Sentences and Poets just come together
The response, Forget it

Food with a twist
Eating being a miss
A Duck that went into the oven
There was no need for stuffing
Suddenly the Duck flew out the oven and hit the ceiling
When the host went to check
No Duck in the oven having an effect
As the host bent over at the oven, the Duck felt from the ceiling onto the host head
The guest was served Hamburgers instead
Rice that was cooked on the stove
There was too much Rice in the ***
It was like it or not
Rice that couldn’t be served
No Cookbook and the host got what they deserved
It was a won’t get it meal
Reality came to life for real
Poetry Food took its place
You now know the trace
Poetry moment of food face to face
It goes to show that nothing is fault proof
It’s amazing that the Duck didn’t go through the roof
Food of that sort I will stay away
The best word to describe is estray.

A voice that made it clear
You are not welcomed here
The voice sounding like a beating with a Slave Whip
Lies Lies Lies that just don’t fit
Drama trying to unfold
Do as you are told
My name is solid and I am bold
My voice exercising my right
I don’t live within plight
My moment my time
Devoted and genuine
Freedom and Expression being no charge
Your outlook being a question
Personality having no suggestion
I am governed Heavenly
I don’t beckon to lack of understanding
I am meant for higher ground
Accomplishment is what I achieved in sound
Fresh Air and new beginnings surround
Drama is meant for Broadway
I am the voice of estray
You are forbidden to enter
I stand as concrete
Your voice didn’t defeat
Loss your way
I am better than you know
Your words relished so what
My although is superior to your uncertain comprehension
Your drama wants attention
The curtain came down with no presentation
Learn from your mistakes
A Chicken can only run if he thinks he can escape
It becomes fate
Get a clean heart without a cold stature
Observe the mirror and make a change
End Of Emotion

A man named GORILLA STRONG
His last name Strong describes him perfectly
Strength in his own right
Strong and Might
Gorilla Strong started on his journey as a Weightlifter
He would lift weights beyond expectations
In fact, when he lifts weights at the gym where he trains appropriately called “INTENSITY BEYOND”
Every weight he lifts sounding like an Earthquake around him with shakes and vibrations
It surrounds Mr. Strong’s training formation
His body parts seem to muscle flex without Mr. Strong doing a flex
Mr. Strong has received numerous Weightlifting awards and top honors in sportsmanship

You are probably scratching your head in wondering who is this Gorilla Strong is a person who I made up in my head
However, it would be surprising if Gorilla Strong really existed
So where did the first name of Gorilla originate?
It wasn’t from the ridges of Africa nor a descendant from King Kong
It describes Mr. Strong’s strength capabilities and Gorilla built structure
But there is another side of Gorilla Strong
He became a competitive Bodybuilder
How does one go from Weightlifting to Bodybuilding?
Easy answer, Train, Eat, Preparation and Transformation
Mr. Strong competed in Bodybuilding Contest in winning the Mr. Sensational Title
Because Mr. Gorilla Strong is unique and was wonder and instilled competitive
No imagination or dream, but fierce competition in what bodybuilding could become
The stage was set and when Gorilla Strong stepped on the Posing Dais or some would call the podium along with the other competitors, there was no comparison as to who would win the bodybuilding show
Mr. Strong was vascular, constructed, muscle pumps and showed promise and plenty of detail
It was because of his Weightlifting days that paved the way for Bodybuilding
Even when Mr. Gorilla Strong shook one’s hand, it was like shaking hands with a vice
He was just that strong
After all, one’s last name of strong is nothing to ignore
Think on crush and ouch
Some might think that Mr. Gorilla Strong might be too strong
Just saying, what if Mr. Strong was arrested, and was put into handcuffs, do think they would hold being his strength?
It might be considered a strongman act
Gorilla Strong being a man of excellence
Essence at its best
Powerful with might
Mr. Sensational
Global name
Gorilla Strong

The Night of the Christmas Bus
Holiday accented all decked out
People observed as it was moving about
Santa was aboard
** ** ** accord
Santa told a Christmas story of the Christmas Bus
The children were aboard being a plus
Children were all sitting in their reclining chairs
They listened carefully with care
The Christmas bus that journeyed to the North Pole
As Santa narrated, the wonder became behold
The bus arrived at Bus Toyland
All kinds of scale buses were there
Each had their own stories to share
All the scale buses were of all kinds
They all unique and genuine
Some had operating lights
Others made engine starting sounds
There were some that were remote controls that were found
The scale buses would capture a child’s delight
However, Santa has a bus story to tell tonight
There was a European bus sitting all alone
No momentum and not full blown
The European scale bus was considered as a misfit because of a weird design
Every bus should be in a child’s hand
This is the Christmas Bus Caravan
The other scale bus models were singing, “We are buses for every Boy and Girl, it will bring them joy to enjoy”
But that didn’t settle for the poor European scale bus
There was no fuss
Misfit is a European Scale bus that sits in a corner
All neglected
But that is about to change
The story relishes with a rearrange
Santa felt bad about the whole ordeal
A child’s heart is warmth being for real
Santa abruptly shouted, “Every bus deserves a chance being part of a child’s heart as the holiday season is about joy and love being the reason
Santa thought to himself, what a wonderful idea, and a misfit European bus no more
The misfit European scale bus was told his, and Santa and the other scale buses saw the Flashing headlights of approval
By the time Santa finished the story, the children had felt a sleep, and dreaming deep of buses to keep
Imagine Christmas morning when the children woke up
There would be cocoa filled in their cup
It’s the midnight hour, Santa is busy with the Elf’s packing all the toy buses for the night ride
Santa said Off Greyhound, Trailways, Coach USA and Academy and into wintry road
We have a schedule and must be on-time
As you know, Santa is genuine
Christmas cheer as Santa preservers
Buses travel during the night to touch a child’s heart
Dash away Dash away
Buses rolled into their getaway

Love on hold
Hate on told
Appreciation with hesitation
Please give me your divided attention
I am hated by many
To some people that might sound uncanny
I consider myself avoid
Bitterness in people’s heart with no joy
I did nothing wrong
I feel within the world I don’t belong
But I have flavor being God’s create
In his eyes, I am his appreciate
My name should be called Shame
People want me to be the blame
Cherish me while I am alive
Through Mercy and Grace is how I survive
Death will strike me one day
Tomorrow is not promised
But your hate of me is not honest
No matter what I say or how I say will still muster your continuous hate
I am human and deserve respect
Love and Joy should have enduring effect
I am the sea to the shore
Standing like a lighthouse with your hate I shall ignore
Your truly hate me within your heart
I have no forgiveness to your hate
I live on appreciate
You can hate me now until
My heart is genuine and kind
Your hate is relished on confusion and sublime
Forgive me
No matter what, my world will continue to revolve
I got my own problems to solve
I am bold with God’s threshold
Hate has no place
Your hate of me is deleted and erased
You are not the better world
There’s a place above that makes hearts swirl
Hate metrics on call
I have seen and conquered all

It was an Arizona Sunrise
A new day to recognize
It was a Greyhound bus pulling into a Terminal bus stop
Passengers felt alerted and confused
Suddenly winds began to blow
Tumbleweed surfacing in moving and it they weren’t slow
Shutters were hitting what looked like deserted homes
It was a town that was all alone
The Arizona winds blew hard and strong
Passengers on the Greyhound bus felt the bus should move along
A new passenger stepped aboard
He had a Spanish accent
The Mighty winds continued to blow
The Greyhound bus finally pulled out
Destination being Los Angeles
A Ghost town that will always be remembered
Thoughts even through slumbered
Winds surrounding a Greyhound bus stop being an Old Rusted once Gas Station
There’s your presentation
The wind that caught everyone’s attention
Journey wind unknown
Mystery full blown
Ghost town from when
The story that comes to an end.

Run Turkey Run
Don’t even go on a prowl
Turkey knife
No cut
No Cook
No seasoning
This Turkey is running for its very life
I am not stopping to see the Macy’s Thanksgiving Parade
This is living that needs to be made
No stuffing
No eating from this turkey, and if you are disappointed, tough
Enough is Enough
If meat is what you want, try duck
I will not be plucked
You are out of luck
I am running as far as I can go
When I become breathless, I will move slow
For now, I am on deadline time and all systems go
Eventually, my turkey legs will thump me for a ride by way of hitchhike
Being a Turkey, I am expected to be polite
I am in a plight
Turkey run on never to be done
I want to live among
I am running anywhere from any oven
I will never be an outdoor cook out
Speedily and Steadily heading about
Give yourselves thanks
This turkey is on the move
No catch me if you can
This Turkey is never on when
What meat will you serve that will be something for you to prove
I am on sooth
Happy Thanksgiving and Turkey legs just move

Several stars in the night
They were shining bright
A child made a wish
He waved to them a kiss
Held several dreams
Embarking like moving streams
The child wished for a Toy Robot of his own
Too a parent might find that a bit blown
But that is what the child’s dream being shown
There were many other wishes
Yet too many to mention here
The child even prayed to the stars in making his wish happen
The Toy Robot was always his number one goal
The child asked his parents for the Toy Robot, but his parent felt it was too expensive
Be careful what you wish for as you might just get it
There was a knock at the door
The parents said “We are not expecting any company”
When the male child opened the door, it was a toy robot at the front door in a box
It was definitely a surprise, and the parents had no idea who delivered the toy robot
It is still a mystery even today
The male child didn’t care because he was given what he wished for in the stars
Was it the stars or just a coincidence?
It happened like in an instance
No one is saying or don’t really know
In any event, it just goes to show
Dreams can sometimes turn into reality
The toy robot’s name was “Perfecto”
A happy child
Perhaps one day the stars will give us an answer on how that toy robot actually materialized
For now, let the child think the stars made his dream possible
Perfecto on

Day into Night
Anticipate of Thanksgiving in plain sight
Uniting families and friends
Thanksgiving offering no pretends
Total inspiration at the end
Giving thanks
Smiles with Laughter
Food that comes after
Bringing people together in the multitudes
Beginning until conclude
Destinations to numerous destinations
Mercy and Grace following
Seeing people face to face
The thought of the Thanksgiving Feast
Worries behind and stress carefree
Where ever your journeys take you whether at home or destination to
Let Thankful pursue
If you are alone, be Thankful to be among the living
Every day is Thanksgiving
Living and Breathing is a reason
It doesn’t matter the season
Reflect on memories gone by
Table setting with food to eat
Various desserts adding to the treat
Your thanks

Don’t take being Thankful for granted
Remember to pray for the misfortunate
They deserve Thanksgiving as well
Remember the Pilgrims who made this holiday
Praise Heaven Authority who embraces our lives each and every day
Happy Thanksgiving and enjoy your feast
Family and Friends time
A blessing one of kind
Be Thankful for one another
Let the Feast begin

I am thinking back when
Autumn being the sign
The assortment of colored leaves
Capturing moments to retrieve
The Fall Winter Winds
Moments to just observe and feel
Winds blow with an although
Are you prepared for what the winds will continue to blow?
Windy advance with the feel here and there while holding on to your hat or cap
It’s plain facts
Coldness that is brisk
Individuals who can’t resist
We are in the Fall Season
It is within reason
The Good Lord is in control
Adjust in clothing and take hold
November winds will continue to blow
November is preparing us all for what December will be
Anticipation to see
The winds always have their say
It’s always been that way
You probably don’t want to think ok
Go with the flow
November has us in the know
December will be the final show.

You think you are bad and rough
For you being Mr. Big Stuff is not enough
You going around acting tough
But you are surrounded by a Gangs that call your bluff
Your ever living moment is characterized on stake
You think you are King Pin
You need to think again
You are not a Leader, but a follower
Gangs don’t even look up to you nor have respect
They think pursue
You don’t even lead to follow through
There’s no promise
You don’t know how to be honest
You are not even modest
Gangs are to steal no matter who they are
You don’t have what it takes to go far
You walk around like you are a Czar
Your own Mother you ignore
Yet she adores
You nothing more than a punk
Low Scale
Lack understanding
No destination with an arrival
Acting a hero marvel
Self-Centered
No pity within any city
Your image all fake
No give or take
Mr. Big Stuff, a little man
No demand
One day, you will be non-existent
Mr. Big Stuff no more
You get no encore
That is for sure

A Professor lectured and said “Wait Until”
A student replied why?
The Professor’s response was “Understanding in knowing to be Emphasized”
As the Lecture went on
Realize was starting to form from that short pause prior
The Professor wanted to highlight his lecture of observe and pay close attention
Making the concept of complex into simplicity
Reality being the actual
Points added being factual
Real life encounters in what students could face in situations
Put yourself in the Professors place
Preparations for the students being an organized process
Answering questions in the best dignified matter
Sometimes one must be quick thinking with a response while standing on your feet
Why if you were in a business meeting trying to persuade a major client to come to your company in being a business deal
One must be Confident, Assured, Projecting Influence and Excelling Presentation
This is the sale selling process
Your preparation would need the person to be prepared to be the Presenter while being aware of the purpose and reason for illustration
Word observant
Motto, “If I can think it, I can also speak it”
Another Motto, “If I can read it, I can comprehend towards it”
The Professor’s idea to the students was to feel the aroma of information and let it direct you to its finale
It all downs to Common Sense the Professor was adding
Inspiration in being confident instilled to the students
Lecture forming the concept
Ability adding to the effect
Be the best of yourself
Lead, but don’t follow everybody else
Set the course and be the force
Go out and use what you learned

Words of Crime
Justice done on a dime
The Story of a Comic Factory
There were Thugs who wanted to make a fortune off Comic Books
All for the taking
The Thugs are about to find out they were mistaken
It didn’t matter who the Comic Book character was
It was a **** buzz
They were determined to steal
Too them it was a big deal
Demonstrating throughout
Illustrating out
Unknowingly to the Thugs, Poet Joe was on their trail
But Investigation conducted without fail
Word surprise
Resisting words on the Thugs side
The fist being the power in extending vibrating sentences as enforcement
So many comic books with the Thugs caught in the act
Not fact, but evidence
Fighting between the Thugs and Super Hero Poet Joe
Pow, Wow, Blunder and aftermath
The Police arrive and took the Thugs to the Comic Book Jail of Finale
Words count in fighting crime
It’s all justice in the mind
Super Hero Poet Joe proved it again
Justice in and crime out.

Participate to Associate
Create then Demonstrate
Think but don’t hesitate
Present in illustrate
Be understanding and wise
Remember, you are the surprise
Always energize
Prove your own realize
Show the world how you analyze
Always emphasize
Assured through CUNY
Alumni at heart
CUNY is where my intellect got its start
The concepts made their mark
Purpose and reasoning
I am the secret ingredient of seasoning
I got CUNY know how
Watch me now
Now you can say Wow

Seasoned words
Aroma of the senses
Sentences being the secret recipe
Serve while it is hot
Tasteful perhaps being like it or not
Into the oven awaiting to be served
Cool off only for a minute followed by read and observe
Fresh ideas with servings you didn’t expect
Nourishing the mind with words protein
Words that have been clean
Fire being fully cooked and words stirrup
Refreshing blends of words from around the world
Ready to serve
Sit down and pull up a chair
The reader can take it from here
The dessert being assortment of pudding words
Dining pleasure with every given word
No need to speak nor lecture
Wording cuisine
Just right and lean
Tender to the heart and spirit
Heart and mind have been fulfilled
Words that were eaten one letter at a time
My compliment to the Poet Chef
The cuisine was fine

The call of the open road
Greyhound is stating, Come on and Ride
The added comfort they provide
Watch the scenery as it unfolds
America’s history up close and personal bold
Greyhound sets the stage through the open road
Observe the mountains in amaze
Greyhound country with praise
Changing formations of Clouds and Sun
Opportunity of still living among
The Hound bus every step of the way
A wave to all the town folks
Even laugher with a few jokes
Greyhound spent
No pretend
Destination to Destination including in between
A might storm that can be mean
A Greyhound Driver’s thoughts to always pursue
Rolling wheels rolling out
Determination is what I am talking about
The idea of travel in just marvel
Not a dream, but reality
Greyhound has the go, and need passengers aboard
The Hound Dog being the show
There is no although
When you think on travel, let Greyhound be your ride
Recline in comfort in what Greyhound provides
All you have to do is ride
See the country behind Rawhide
Greyhound’s America
Scene to scene
Travel, now you know what I mean.

The strives for freedom
Voices singing through pain
Cries for hope and dignity
Slaveless thoughts
Beaten night after night
Wounds are the scars that be
Moans sounding like a lonely Wolf
How long do I have to live?
The tears are only mere examples of how I feel
I am a Slave for real
Endure
Sometimes I yell out, but it is my own echoes that echo back
No one knows my distance
I am my own assurance

Walked miles during the hot summer months
Picking cotton while working the fields
The Slave Masters call me “THUNDER” because I am mighty in the fields and the slave with the most endurance
But my heart expels revenge
My rage within
The words formulate, “When one shall, one should”
Those words Thunder lives by
Every given moment and second
Sometimes I go down by the Bayou and just admire my own reflection
But it doesn’t change being a slave that I am
Freedom will one day be my reward
Believe that
I often pray for the Lord’s guidance
He is my existence
The Slave Masters are saying, there will be a bad storm tonight
That will be my opportunity to escape covering territory without be discovered
My journey towards freedom
Leaving the South heading North


I heard stories of New York City
A land of milk and honey fit for slave looking for freedom
Legacy my own to achieve
Freedom at last, I shall receive
No more tears and pain
A new life that will remain
My endless story will be in the history books
It’s just a matter in take a look
Those slavery days
Freedom that will always stay.

Unrest spirit
Revenge
The skies opened up like a fiery hell
The Evil Witch
The unfold is being told in tell
The Witch could no longer cast spells
Her evilness suddenly fell
The witch vowed to pass wrath on the world
Good Witch overtook the Evil Witch in swirl
Be gone Evil Witch
Your powers no longer work here
The community finally has freedom from your unity
The citizens over you no pity
Salem wants you back where you belong
You are a mere mortal
The mind having no desire
Into the fire
You will be chained forever
Never to invade again
Be gone Evil Witch
Eternity will be your everlasting
Burn Burn Burn Evil Witch
The bell rings for your endless Soul
The Evil Witch is dead to never show her angry face
Your flesh is now ash
No Tombstone nor grave
You are punished because you didn’t behave
The Witches ashes drift to the Heaven’s above
Safe keeping to think of
Gone forever with no lifetime
Everlasting

Darkness On
The spirits beyond
Your Soul to depend
Everlasting end
Boo
The sidewalks move
Trick or treat prove
Do you run or stand still?
Scare at will
Mind totally hypnotized
The Moon has no shine
Totally hidden
The night forbidden
It’s a very foggy night
Lurking fright
You wish you could disappear
Fear accelerating near
Possible victim
Halloween vibe
Perhaps jive
It really doesn’t matter
Your teeth are in chatter
Hungry treat
Tricks up the soul’s sleeves
No relieve
Moans turn into yells
Midnight with the ringing of Death bells
Treat or trick
It’s safe to sleep
Your Soul might not be your keep
Eerie in the air
A word of caution in beware
Halloween freedom
The fright has begun
Are you among?

A call to pray
Preparation for the day
Mine on Faith
Believing at every length
Time is moving ever so swift
Heaven’s call, catch my drift
We just don’t know
The skies of watch being the show
Wisdom teaching us how to be wise
That is not a surprise
Blessings being the emphasize
Guided by Mercy
Permission through grace
We are in a Heavenly race
Are you on the finished line
Take nothing for granted
Our lives are on a schedule
Arrive and Depart
The clock ticks, there is an hour and a second
Be ever so ready
Pray and hold steady
Circumstances will be a turnaround
Step into the light being found
Darkness night
Analyze your spiritual life in plain sight
Is your spiritual Soul packed and ready to work?
Are you carrying the essentials of Faith you need?
Praying indeed
God’s work needs proceed
The clock is ticking, and the moment holding steady
Are you ready?
Heaven’s call
Acceleration
Rise
Heavens emphasize
There’s your surprise
You have the wings to spread God’s word
Let the world know you must be heard
It has been often said, but don’t let anyone lead you into being misled
Chosen is proven
Prayed and Deliver

Heavenly One
Can never be out done
Brings amaze
Purpose with amaze
Voice of Thunder
Guidance in through understanding
Falling Rain
Soul purification
Man wants to take away
One must take hold
The bible says read and abide in his goodness told
Mercy and Grace
This is where salvation forms the trace
Say Amen
I say Hallelujah
My life from uncertainty
My spirit to everlasting
The Lord of my life
Guided by his advice
No one knows what tomorrow holds
Yesterday was only a preparation
God say it, but you must believe it
The truth in spirit
Honor in merit
God is the only all
I stand for him with no stall
Now you know
Don’t ever let go
Just feel the spiritual flow
Don’t ever let go

All it takes is one thought
Searching for understanding sought
A voice from Heaven
A life well lived
Think on your own life with possibilities that could follow
The Lord dies on the cross
The Thunder in wisdom the force
Assurance for us
The Lord rose from the Grave
Our Hope gained
Healed in miracles
Showed possibilities in our lives
The Lord walked across the oceans
Demonstrated for us to always be courageous
The connection
Effect
Salvation
Blessings
Fulfillment
Everlasting

A name not from outer space
Yet a name that will ever be erased
Greyhound Bus Lines is where the name originated in trace
It deprives from my devotion to the Greyhound name
On Target in aim
But it goes beyond all that
Follow me in the dialog track
My Commitment to model buses
It doesn’t matter if highway or transit
Connection fit
But I am more into Motor Coaches of the highway
My personal take away
My time as a Bus Historian
Vintage in my own right
A life of participation and appreciation
Fulfilled bus life
No advice
Structure and wheels
This is my big deal for real.

My location in viewing was Regal Union Square in New York City
October 15, 2022
Mississippi was where the story took place
Medgar Evers on the case adding to the trace
It was injustice and hatred portrayed
The analogy of being black
The opposition in wanting black to take back
The movie was more than a flick
The lies told throughout that stuck
Anger with emotion
Cries feeling the pain of Emmett Till’s Mother
The open coffin of her son’s reality
The world saw and remembered
The lifeless body of Emmett Till
Justice wasn’t served
A mixed menu of what was not ordered
I held this movie close to my heart
Legacy influence from Thurgood Marshall and Civil Rights Leader, Medgar Wiley
Evers
There’s a connection, and I personally felt the experience of the movie throughout
I actually met the Medgar Evers Family, and I graduated from CUNY Medgar Evers College
This person is legacy as well, but wasn’t in the movie with a mention
I was lectured at CUNY MEC by Professor Dr. Betty Shabazz, Malcolm X’s Widow
Even though Miss Till loss the battle, she proved to the Racist world that Blacks have a Voice, Courageous, Determined and will not be still
The voices of reason will always shout out
Miss Till surpassed through the tribulations, Boundaries and Crossing Forbidden Lines
Yet, she held her dignity in honor of her son, Emmett Till
Miss Till was encouraged through the higher minds of legacy
She was guided by Heaven’s eyes
Pillar of Strength
All costs at every length
Emmett Till with smiles and joy
The train may have departed
The Sunrise and Sunset captures the paths taken
The world awakened
Emmett Till until
Everlasting
Spirit reigns
Emmett Till ranks
Thanks

Growing up, I had lots of friends
Joy in laughing, communicating and playing games
Happy times
But as time went on, friends moved away like a drifting tide
It was as if they were trying to hide
They began to not call
I was no longer hearing from all
Family began to treat me like a loss sheep
At least I had my self-respect in my soul to keep
Coldness began center around me
It was the feeling that so called friends and family were giving
I don’t pity myself
I am not like everybody else
My life has freshness and newness
Every day, I never know what to expect
But that is good thing
Prosperity always breathes within my soul
You might think I am ordinary
If you are uncertain, try using the dictionary
Reject can have negative effects
It’s nothing I did
If so, God forbid
My life is surrounded by goodness to which I associate
Bringing love and encouragement
I laugh through the pain
It doesn’t make me lame
I don’t complain
My heart is solid as a rock
I am treated cold by many
Friendship, if any
I have been deleted
Yet not defeated
Commitment is my document
I can’t look back, but move forward
I can’t pause, I must be onward
Life is short, and no time to sit and worry
Life is its own devoted story
It’s the reason I continue to achieve no matter what
My mind in thinking
My ability in composing
My voice in communicating
Pillar of Strength
Extends on all lengths
No stopping me now
Mission with a promise
Being honest
The Lord has taught me well
In case you haven’t noticed, the world can tell
Mind control, the people understand
No matter with friends or woes
I will live my whole life out
No explanations
Life control, I totally took whole
Complete
Figure out

Thinking back
It’s hard too keep track
Time for me that almost wasn’t
Loss important people in my life
A wonder of how I got through
The plan was ready in perspective
Inspiration started
Acceleration
Appreciation
Fulfillment
Guided by Heavenly voices
Echoes of encouragement from numerous choices
Mission to advance
Heaven granted me a chance
Tears are mounting
Being alive
Contributing still
God’s will
Praying that keeps me focused, and my feet on solid ground
Determination sound
Shout with praise
God’s amazed
Battles won
Living among
No pun
Pure joy in living fun
Each day to look upon
Tomorrow’s analysis
Witness
Tears of Joy

What would the applause be without inspiration?
What would entertainment be without creation?
The rush of excitement
The practice makes perfect phase
The mind forming wonders of ideas becoming amaze
Stamina and Energy
Determination in being the best
The smell of achievement
The effort of commitment
Essence being excellent
Impact unknowingly until the given try
Disappointments a learning experience
Keep the inspiration high
Trial and Error theory
What one puts in their own mystery
What you will find out being your own history
In time and the right moment
Echoes upon echoes of applause you worked so hard for
Establishment and connection complete
Wisdom
Conquering overflowing waters
Compromising through the differences
Climbing the highest mountain
Believing from within
Reach
Excel
Beating the odds
Applause from outward
It is just for you
Bow and show your appreciation
You are approved

Multi-talent of Stage and TV
Ms. Lansbury lived to be 96
Longevity of life and spanning career
I remember Ms. Lansbury in ****** SHE WROTE that appeared on CBS-TV
When it came to solving mysterious murders, she was no joke
Clues were in Ms. Lansbury’s grasp
Broadway lights with Ms. Lansbury’s presence of amazement
Dazzle in every given line
Ms. Lansbury’s acting was genuine
The feeling with emotion along with the musical vibes
Thank you for sharing your joy in entertainment
The Teapot and Cups will miss the dynamic server, Ms. Angela Lansbury
No one could bring out the Teapot and Cups in Beauty and the Beast
She brought them to live
Her sheer talent of excellence
Ms. Lansbury marveled audiences all over the world with her technique of Beauty and the Beast scratches, which she was known for
When Ms. Lansbury bowed it was thunderous encores with approval of applaud
She got applaud from Heaven and was invited being her honor
You accomplished your own spectrum
Time smiled, and the world adored
You have inspired me of your multi-talent
You gave me joy for the theatrical arts

I Stand
My voice my Demand
Standing for all
It seems, you wonder my words
I deserve to be heard
I am exercising my rights
Prepared for a fight
Your opposition like a violet storm
I am not alarmed, but will continue to push on
Dr. Martin Luther King, Medgar Evers, Congressmen John Roberts and many others who educated me
It’s knowledge that stood out
My reason for moving about
Beyond the shadows and into the marvelous light
Not frightened and shaken
I speak extensions
A presenter of persuasions
Words greater than anyone could imagine
Several letters at one time
Genuine
Truth is what I stand for
No hesitation
Representation
Marked because of my Race
Ran because of a Chase
Broken promises
Told numerous times, I nothing to offer
Prove you wrong
Destiny and Sincerity
My reality
Onward in forward
You say why do I live?
Privilege
Why do I stand?
Honor
All Grace and Mercy from God
Motivation keeps me inspired
Race barriers make me sick and tired
I will not stop and expire
I will pull through
Pursue
The battle in begun
Sustaining among
Never Ending fight
Through the Valley’s, Rivers and Mountains
Who I am
Proven with understanding
Remember my words
Ever After

Mission of war
Deterioration saw
The thought of becoming a Casualty
Prayed hard in reality
Bombs and heavy ammunition that surrounded me
Ashes of destruction
Comrades either wounded or dead
I had to be strong in mind and heart
It seemed assurance was distance off
I was thinking will I survive?
There are many war stories to tell
Victory close sounding like a bell
I truly was alive
A Soldier never knows what to expect
War can have that effect
A Soldier can find themselves in all kinds of predicaments
Maneuvering in kinds of weather elements
But I can confer
Because of war, my mind can get a blur
This Soldier made it out
Numerous wounds making it hard to move about
Survival
War story never forgotten
Chosen being the example
Just that simple
Tomorrow that could have been wasn’t
Here today
A determined soldier in every way
Giving thanks
A soldier now and always
Sunrise and Sunset that will follow me throughout my days and nights
Everlasting wonder
The memory that goes far beyond yonder
I will always hear in my head “Onward”
Proud of you Solder

Transform
Lair
Scare
Beware
Flesh
Beyond the Soulful body
Spirits
Caution

Words you know my desire
I don’t feel the fire
Words you know
Please catch my flow
I just don’t have the go
I am stuck on pause
Writer’s block cause
Need to express
That’s confess
Alphabets say it best
Inspire me now
Embrace the how
Energize me like a rushing breeze
Let me be at ease
No pretend
Let’s begin
Let my mind transcend and take everything in

A sense of purpose
Making life obvious
Living with a positive attitude
Don’t think conclude
Cool and smooth
Prove
Defeat may sound like delete
Have a table set of appreciate
Mission
Permission
A reason to live and think
You won’t find in written ink
Live and keep living
No Doubt
Assurance
Your influence
Your life has already been planned to live out
No Doubt

There once was a post
A positive comment being an uplifted boast
Words that didn’t satisfy
I didn’t respond in a try
There was something wrong with a Facebook fella
Negative jive
I survived
Moved on
I am at where I belong
Life is short
I did abort
Energy saved
I know how to behave
My life fulfilled
Feeling at ease
Give me a break please
Negativity is not who I am about
Problem person needs to work it out
Man in the mirror, make a change
Reflection out.

Decisions after Decisions
Provisions like conditions
Promises. Not holding through
Hesitations warrant pursue
Dependency being questionable thoughts
Suggestions actually are excuses
Nothing more than refusing
Favors from extending into desperations
Wonder
What becomes then after
Uncertainty with no possibilities
Doubt
Rewarding coming from within
Establishments with fusions
Element being fact
That ends that

The thought of Media Broadcast
History in communicating that made Media last
Radio that made you think
TV somehow made you wink
A time when NBC Peacock made you appreciate
Stories that had an associate
Now back to our sponsor
Shows that made you laugh
Drama that made you cry
Yet kept you awake
We seemed too loss one viewer, I hear snoozing
Wake Now Wake
Goodness Sake
The Radio tube being a time the Shadow only knew
There were clues that made you want to pursue
Who knew?
Remember I love Lucy
The famous line, “I got a plan”
Plan or revenge with I want to be in show biz
Fizz Fizz, what a time it is
Comedy with a reason to laugh
TV Thrillers saying you were warned and I told you so
Don’t sleep tonight
You are all so full of fright
Don’t dare turn on the lights
Things began to happen unexpecting when a person became a sudden victim with ****** and blood
Who could forget the Radio Show of Orson Wells
The idea of Invaders from outer space to Earth
True drama with an audience spell
Taking it all in for what it was worth
There you have Radio and TV then
Today, you will find a new blend
No pretend
Pure realities that transcend
Rolling, Complete and Cut
The end
