Took a page from his mind in seeing never
It was his resolutions in lasting forever
It was a man’s idea in being clever
Solving a problem was simply like pulling a lever
He was given the name of Clever
It was how he solved situations
It was also how he spoke in discussions
A man’s recommendations with his mind
Using all the resources of reasoning combined
It was the name of Clever with a lasting promise
It was also a man’s heart in being honest
What’s in a name?
But who can blame
It was those resolutions being the aim
Clever who was were meant to be, and the possibilities everyone could see.

It was a letter written by a little child to St. Nick
It had to be at the North Pole pretty quick
The little child felt a certain toy had to be the right pick
The child wished on a falling star
He hoped that his wish would extend really far
But let the story in detail unfold
Come on in and look behind the curtain of told
Little John stated, “ I want a toy train set”
I want it to be my own train set no one has ever seen
Santa reading little John’s letter felt he would do the next best thing, he would give little John a personal ride on a real train, and he would be the only passenger aboard to visit me in the North Pole
This will be more than a wish
Little John was fast asleep, but Santa entered his bedroom, “Awaken, Awaken little John”
He awoke, but couldn’t believe Santa was actually standing there
Santa told little John we have a journey to the North Pole
The train was called, “WISHES DELIGHT”
The steam engine had turned on its headlight
The signal was given to “ALL ABOARD!”
The train started to pull out
It’s a Christmas joy with anticipation to shout
The steam was flying in the air and the train’s whistle could be heard in the distance
A little heart that can’t compare
Suddenly it starts to snow
The Christmas trees were all bowing from below
But the train had still miles to go and it was the North Pole bound being the flow
Travelling up steep hills and the mountains looking like movie stills
Yet the steam engine being determined in its own will
Finally a sight in a child’s eyes
NORTH POLE, but too a little child, “TOYLAND”
Little John steps off the train
It was his fascination that remained
Santa escorts little John into his workshop
There were many toys sitting on shelve tops
There were toys among toys, and there was plenty of them to give any child joy
Santa was constant thinking he must have little John home by midnight
But Santa was considerate and polite
Little John was amazed at Santa’s place
This was something Little John will never ever erase
Immediately following little John had fallen asleep
He was dreaming in my soul to keep
Stars all shining bright
They are telling everyone Merry Christmas and have a good night.

The meeting of Gobble is called to order
We the Turkey’s have a crisis
Every Thanksgiving it is always the same, our meat is priceless
Thanksgiving is coming, and we will be set on dinner tables
As Turkey’s, we are forced in able
It’s the same old routine
We are the Butterball’s at every call
Ovens take effect, but as Turkey’s we can’t stall
We must do something about this situation
The floor is open for conversation
Running away is out
As the Ax in someone’s hand would be moving swiftly about
My suggestion, let’s attempt to push for the Ham’s taking on the task
Now Thanksgiving is only days away, and we must work fast
We shouldn’t be even considered for Thanksgiving
We can thank the Pilgrim’s for that
True with fact
All family household Forks and Knives ready and holding steady

Otherwise, dinner tables we will us face to face
Let’s protest
This is our right to confess
Who cares about ovens?
We as turkey’s, we must survive
So Turkey’s unite
All family households are in for a fight
We can’t let this be our plight
This is our showdown
Our message will be spread throughout the town
Turkey meeting adjourned

A place more than just a church

Faith being full accord
But the open doors to unbelievers to explore
New Jerusalem Baptist Church

The motto, “Keep the continued faith and look up to Thine”.

Yes it was me at the mike
I was comfortable and not uptight
I Hosted “CAMPUS COMMUNICATORS”
A community outreach program at CUNY MEDGAR EVERS COLLEGE putting the Tri-State community in the know
It was a script reading with a format in creating the show
My Engineer behind the electronic board
There were many activities announced we wanted the community to explore
It was an uptown feel
Later downtown being ideal
But it was radio being for real
No cassette tape moving like a reel
Excitement being just that
No regrets with nothing to take back
Hello Community, we are your Hosts and we bring you unity
We are here to make sure you get up, and keep your footsteps in precise
Get your day started and not thinking twice
I had a joke or two here and there
One joke I want to share
It was a past Thanksgiving feast, where a table that was all set up, but also the same table that almost fell down
I thought the good would be more in my lap
There was so much food on the table, it gave a sound finch in not another inch
I was live on the Radio at WMEC 1150 AM and WNYE-FM 91.5
Well that’s all the poetry for now
So keep writing with thinking while and how
Good Day from the Poet Mark
Make it a good start.

The colorful lighted Rockefeller Center Christmas tree
Thousands of tourist who want to see
Radio City Music Hall with the Rockette’s heels in the air
New York City at Christmas time, which no other city can compare
The department stores with their individual window Christmas Themes
The philosophy of Christmas in knowing what it means
I just got a news bulletin that Santa has been seen wearing a business suit
It wasn’t the red and white
It was Santa looking like an Executive in pinstripe and had a handkerchief like a handiwipe and was smoking a pipe
It was a superior brand from Saks
However let me think back
There was some assortment with both Bergdorf and Saks
Santa was seen shaking hands with the Mayor Of New York
This was a sight too see
But this is between the reporter and me
Yes it was Santa with a whole new business attitude
But there was a candy cane pin attached to his lapel on his suit
That was an attire to sweeten a business deal to pursuit
I can’t believe Christmas is almost here
Everything will be hung with special loving care
Those misfortunate will surely get a share
Christmas in New York City
Coldness in your nose
A look on your face as a perhaps in suppose
Then a surprise of a Christmas ornament engraved with your name
Special preparation being the aim
Look its snowing and lets have a game
Our hearts filled with joy and our minds concentrated on tame
As the sun goes down
The night becomes with all the stars around
A night to fall asleep and eyes closed in a sandman’s trap of bound
Finally sleeping with quiet and nowhere is a sound.

Ships upon ships in a watery county
Captains attempting in maneuvering their ships all from the bounty
The stormy skies with wind, which Heaven was in charge
The seas rocking all ships
Heaven voice of lighthouses being their tip
Deeper and deeper ships go in a disastrous dip
The open seas being their own Sea God
No voice with speech can actually say
The sea wave’s move in having their way
Yet the high sea waves in their sound
Questionable moments in a rocky bearing bound
Many ships of the past perished on the seas
I seem to remember a courageous ship only known as LADY LOUISE
It was a ship that did survive
There was adventure and true guidance that helped the ship to strive
The shortest of times
What is actually kept in the mind?
The seas will continue on the journey of derive
The theory of seas behave under who controls
A praising voice looking for that behold
But Heaven above and the superiority one with the majesty name to think of
A ship is mainly the craft meant for the sea
But no one really knows the reason, as it is the holy one called thee
Waves and seas were created beyond men’s understanding what nature can establish
Seas upon seas in knowing how to ride the wave and to see beyond how the lighthouse guides
It’s Heaven alone with its own special stride.

Quiet on the set
Ready, Action
Conversation could have that much impact
But the movie set doesn’t want that effect
The script calls for numerous explosions
It requires the stuntman to be set on fire and leap from the roof of a building
Emergency crews are standing at the bottom being ready to put out the fire
A car is scheduled to go out of control
There were flips and turns
The car even exploded being like a cremation urn
But the stuntman was an experienced car driver and knew what to do
Anybody else wouldn’t have any clue
The car ignited into flames
The flames were all over the stuntman
A fire extinguisher became in demand
The stuntman had to go through action and movement on cue by the Director
The script was fully detailed
Yet safety measures were put into place in case some things fail
Hollywood making the stuntman
The stuntman having no fans
However the Stuntman being behind the background in high demand
Without the Stuntman, there is no movie production throughout the land
So the Stuntman and Stuntwoman are who make Hollywood the action in adventure the caravan.

It was to determine in whom was the fastest Disney character and a familiar trademark in having a race
The idea being on the eye of competition and not make haste
The Disney character being “Peter Pan”
He is known too all children throughout the land
Now the trademark being the “Greyhound Dog”
The Greyhound dog is known for speed and knowing not too heel
Well this was a pinnacle race and not something from a reel
Peter Pan and the Greyhound dog at the starting line waiting for the sound of when
Peter Pan was stretching a little
The Greyhound dog is all limbered up and ready to go
The gun shot off in a race that begun
Peter Pan stating, “A way he goes”
The Greyhound dog stating, “Follow my dust flow”
The Greyhound dog speedily spreading dust in the wind
Peter Pan seems to be having difficulty and spreading himself thin
Yet the Greyhound dog is determined to win
Peter Pan can only think if he can
But the race continues on, but it just make not be long
The Greyhound dog moving swiftly around the track
Seconds are turning into a quick moment
Suddenly it has been determined who will win
It was the Greyhound dog crossing the finished line at the end
It was Peter Pan trying to catch his breathing wind
He was thinking on another time from then to a future thought of when
Well a race well done and it was all in fun.

I must tell this story with all its glory
A blessing that I will say certainly
I gave the Pastor of my Church, a format of Poetry Praise
It certainly caught the Lord’s attention being my amaze
The Pastor wanted to sit down with me, and him and I would have a one on one discussion
However, I was not a member of the church
I said to myself now was not the time to participate, but later on I will relate
As the morning worship service went on
I as at the place where I belong
During the 7:30 AM morning service, we have the meet and greet
The Pastor regularly does come on my side, but on this particular Sunday morning, he shook hands with everyone on my side including yours truly
When the Pastor shook my hand, his face lit up as if he knew who I was and stated Oh Hi and a welcomed smile
I was thinking all during while
When the Pastor walked away, I whispered to the Lord and asked, “What did you tell the Pastor?’
This is where Poetry came into play
A young guest Minister came to preach at the 7:30 AM Service
He presented his sermon with Poetry combined
I guess the Lord was telling me I like the idea
But the Poetry idea will preserver
The message was clear, I illustrated the Poetry voice, and I am the Lord that will present
The Lord truly presented and inspired me through my own accord to the Pastor
This was definitely assurance that there was nothing wrong with my idea
Poetry being a new concept in praise
When Poetry Praise inspiration go up, and it is the Heavenly encouragement that comes down
Amen being the words in the praising sound.

Let’s think on Rochdale Politics for a moment
10 Board Of Directors seats that need to be enriched filled
It’s time for a change and not defeat
We can’t let the current Board think we the Valued Cooperators are just plain weak
A sunrise should have an enriched blend

Voting requires movement
So come out in the multitudes
Make Rochdale a home of comfort in being soothe
The current Board has nothing left to prove
You have seen their response and heard their words
They don’t want we the cooperators to ever be heard
Utterance can’t be continued tolerance
Be proud with dignity and honor in where you live
Embrace and encourage with inspiration in give
True Leadership with assurance
We are the Cooperators and we do have influence
We have endured enough
Let’s call the current Board out being their bluff
The key words are enough is enough
Voter while you are yet able
If you don’t, we will live in being disenabled
The choice is truly yours
Move forward, but no time to look back
Follow true results being the right track
Once again, it’s multitudes with the force being include
Vote for a real change, and a new day being finally a new arrange.

Past romance that was in the air
Words of endure being love to share
Each love letter was put into a secrete treasure chest
The word love became my own logo crest
A matter of for better or less
It’s that remembrance of that embracing kiss
The fireworks circulating in my mind that can’t be missed
Writing love letters back to back
My treasure chest is full of love letters being a stack
Personalities that were a match for one another
Jack and Jill are still in love like no other
My hidden letters encouraging me in continuing on in the love
Two loves on everlasting journeys like doves.

Cars, trucks and buses headlights that shined at night
Cutting through the fog in giving highway sight
Buses Flashing headlights to each other in saying Hello
All other motorist on the road just being another fellow
Yet the night lingered on
It was the dawn that seemed so long
The clouds that were hiding the moon
Another day that would be arriving soon
The vintage of numerous Motorist
Perhaps some could very well be tourist
Suddenly the highway dawn that was taking a peek
It was that anticipation of all in seek
Good Morning Motorist, a drive throughout the night
A journey that didn’t become a plight
Headlights that applauded the skies
Knowing the direction and reaching wise
Headlight night and thanks  for expanding the highway sight.

A poor lonely homeless man dazing down the street
He had no shoes to wear on his feet
His walks were through the months of poverty mounting to defeat
Some public mockery in passing in having no respect treat
A man who was once a working society
The economy reversed placing him in his current reality
No fault of the poor lonely soul
But there is sunrise with look and behold
A Good Samaritan had shows that never had been worn
A kind heart knew where those shoes belonged
It wasn’t long before the homeless man put the shoes on
Walking around in his bare feet seemed ever so long
But the lonely homeless man was appreciative and moved on.

Curriculum that goes Cross Country on the road
Read and learn in behold
A lesson plan that starts in New York
City after City and towns being like a wine cork
Enriched learning as only a true Teacher can do
Divine understanding is what the student will pursue
Various subjects that will open any student mind
Textbooks of course that will be combined
Who says learning can’t be on the road
A lesson plan is always in demand
Goodness and prosperity
A Traveling Teacher is going to make this a reality
The blackboard being in no secrete place
A time for learning with no time to waste
The blackboard that can be anywhere
But it is true English, Math and Science that Cross Country Teachers who want to share
A learning experience that will be fun
It’s about becoming a commodity and achieving among
A Teacher’s plan their very own
But this is something no one has ever known
Yet a Teacher with an initiative in letting it be shown
This is an idea I am sure will be full blown
Imagine, students actually being educated
Subjects I mentioned being previously indicated
Striving with tons of knowledge
True understanding with a thirst to go
Yet only the student will be the one in the know
It’s knowledge for all and education that calls.

Guns in hands determined to shoot
Evil with vengeance as a mission pursuit
A world with a questionable tomorrow
Tears in outcry of sorrow
Pity in gun hands
Hatred roars throughout the land
Blood killing alley
The Heavens are totally concerned
When will the world ever learn?
The sun has immediately turned black
Heaven wants togetherness, and we must embrace and bring the love back
Get rid of your gun
This is not a pun
The gun is what kills among
Capitol Hill, what are you waiting for?
Guns will soon control the Senate Floor
What do some of you continue to ignore?
Bullets and ammunition have a mission too **** until dead
Now we must not be mislead
Guns have lasted far too long
They should have been done away with where they belong
Enough talk as action a waits
Capitol Hill, you need to respond before it’s too late
Now what would it take?
The longer you wait
Fate could have us all in a coffin state.

Perhaps the person behind wearing the hat
Before I continue, what do you think of that?
Yet a hat or cap can have its own individual story
Well I am heading for my inspiring glory
A picture can tell a thousand words
It becomes an entertaining affair
I know, I know, I must be fair
Sometimes there can be a picture of an actual bus
Me being a bus nut that would be an added plus
However, it’s the company trademark being an advertising appeal because exposure with a sample message from the hat, “Buy or Try” or “We got you covered”
Later you might wonder exactly what did you discover
It’s a mission the company instituted being a nonsense approach in getting your attention
You knew that was coming so I had to mention
Well there can also be magic in a hat
But why won’t that Rabbit appear?
In the meantime, let me continue as I preserver
Now with a wave of the wand and abracadabra, I have just made my thought completely disappear
I need your help, what were those magic words again?
Now I remember, at least I didn’t make myself disappear
I am still here
Now I am remember what we were talking about
It came back too me, we were talking about a story of a hat or cap in what story it tells
Well
Oh the power of suggestion
No, it is the theory of persuasion
I hope I given you the 411 of the hat or cap
Now you thought the hat was a put on and move on
True the hat is for your head where it belongs
So now, you will hat or cap with distinction in pride and the story it will generate
I hope it will be appreciate
What story is your hat telling today?

High School marching bands in Philadelphia marching through Broad Street
It’s the Mummer’s hail being a treat
Different Themes being a band’s twist
Then it is either fireworks of confetti or announcement are you ready?
But surprises to the audiences being pure fun
But we are nowhere near done
March on as the Mummer’s do
It’s a competition all High School bands must go through
It all orginates in the city of Brotherly Love
All the earmarks for one to think of
The Band Leader with the shoulder shrug
A Kodak moment in capturing the Bands being souvenir mug
Razzle and Dazzle under the entertainment lights
To the audience a pure delight
Now you know who the Mummer’s are
Let’s march together, but a reminder, the distance will be far.

The book describes the headlight of the Big Dog moment
A trademark having stories after stories about its own
A book had to be written to let it be known
The multitudes of customer’s feedback in letting it be shown
A chapter of a passenger ****** in a bus station restroom, and no one cared to get help, but a small little boy
Another chapter of the Hound’s own employee stealing from the company, and they did willingly in broad sight with having a reason along with a confession
The customer’s Hound Bus experience in response being their own expression
Well in this chapter, a Hound Female Driver threatening passengers with policies of her own
The Female Driver firmly stated, “No talking, don’t ask questions or you will be put off the bus”
Yet the Female Driver fired back after being terminated, and the Union had her reinstated through another way
More Chapters with unending circumstances
Midnight rides with sunrise plights after plights
It’s a wonder that passenger do catch the daylight in the hound’s Dogs light
Dialog after dialog being a summary of events
Through the years, it a wonder in where the Hound bus years went
The Author giving the outsider reader with the inside experience behind the scenes
A look at if you don’t travel by bus in things you should know
Yet Cross Country bus travel continues to be on the go
Running with the Big Dog having the right title, but can the reader really catch up to the speed of the Greyhound
However, thank you for that ride in seeing the road, and opening my eyes in behold.

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

Our eyes that glaze into one another
The looks of beauty like no other
The satin sheets all in red
Our interlude while we stay in bed
I see streams of Red Doves
A castaway with everything to think of
It was that sip of wine
Then pure romance that comes too mine
A love that seems to stay on course
Don’t forget the candles and red roses being the enforce
A heart felt love
All the earmarks of Happy Valentine’s Day too think of.

It was downtown Brooklyn being more than a place to shop
It was the annual MTA Bus Festival encouraging people to stop
There were buses of the past where people could board
Each bus having their own description and design their own accord
Yet along with the past buses were the present buses of look and observe
These buses do commuter runs every day
Moving people from any borough in every way
You can applaud as that is ok
Progress was made and there wasn’t settle for less
It was advancement at its best
But for the kids being buses surprise
Yet they had a learning experience beyond their realize
The kids even had the opportunity to take Pony rides
It was adventure being an experience the event would provide
Urban living with a rural environment flavor
This is something being a kid’s heart to savor
But there was more than just the Bus Festival
This was also an event called the Atlantic Antics being a street fair
Vendors for miles
Aroma of the Food senses being captivation while
I even had the opportunity to meet an Author who had written a book
I brought the book and had to glance with a look
So the Bus Festival and Atlantic Antics was a day of fun
I am glad I took the time to be among.

Man’s wishes
God who carries the blessings
People in the natural wish for materialistic wonders like money, clothes, a car, a career and the list goes on
But the gift that the world needs is the gift of Christ who keeps all individuals strong
Every day sustaining, understanding, overcoming and living life more abundantly
However in order to receive any gift from Christ, one must be in the asking and praying would be the ultimate step
This is no secret being well kept
There isn’t any confidentiality when it comes to the Christ
One must believe in the Holy being
It means justification within one’s inner emotions in change beginning
Christmas is much more than gift giving
The birth of Jesus in being Joy to the world
It is about sharing of your self in bringing hope to a loss soul who doesn’t know Christ
Hope is what one should expect and prosperity in the living
Christ is our advisor
He is the Love that was given upon the world
Christ should be the story of every one’s life
The creator of life and Prince of Peace
So if you feel loss this holiday season
Christ is here today, tomorrow and well into the future
Turn unity into everlasting
I want to share my testimony
I have told my story many times, but there is no reason I can’t tell it again and again
Death knocked hard at my living door
Doctors suggested a Funeral for me for my family to explore
But Christ stated Death you could ignore
This all happened when I was just a little babe as a new born
I was still in my yond
But of complications from Asthma, Doctors stated I would only live to 7
Well Behold
I am 59 years old, and God spared me, and I will be 60 years old on February 2, but if God lets me see it
So Christ is my every day gift
If you are going through something, you don’t have to suffer alone
What God did for me, he can also do for you
All you have to do is ask
Christ is the institution, but always has the plan of resolutions
So at the holiday season, let Christ be your reason for your own revelation
But today don’t let it be a hesitation
Let my testimony be your indication
I hope during the holiday, I have encouraged you in some way
But don’t delay
Christ is waiting for you today and fulfill throughout in every way.

Many things one could say
Music from back in the day
Vintage showing the way
Soft and Mellow
Look at that Lady and Fella
Love songs putting romance in a hypnotizing trance
Dancing close
Setting the mood
The listen smooth
Music songs with everything to prove
Downtown to Uptown
Dance floors people were found
Soul feet
Soul Brother and Sister
Dancing through the rhythm making one’s date unique
Motown feeling
Totally genuine
Music appreciation and kind

Eyes on the female in the dancing crave
Hearts that couldn’t resist in behave
The Man wasn’t alone when Motown made the music full blown

The blend with no end
Motown wasn’t a pretend
The more the better
Motown with an enter
Motown dance

Motown way
Rhythm on target in ok

Bleecker Street, a name associated with New York City in the section of Soho
But makes Bleecker Street many don’t know
Just what made Bleecker Street unique?
It’s straight out history is what makes the street complete
It was a Goldsmith shop
Just a gallop hop
The shop was the most famous on the block
The Goldsmith owner being Manny Strong
He was a man who knew how to get along
Mr. Strong was also a professional strongman
His strength was always in demand
Mr. Strong could bend bars to shape horseshoes
However, he could lift heavy weights and even horses himself
Now Manny Strong was ahead of his time, but not like everybody else
Mr. Strong was a valued Circus strongman being the star of the show
But a good glance of his physique was just follow the flow
He would often lift weights over his head
But he would often break chains instead
Mr. Strong had no trouble in getting a female date
But it always had to be a woman who could relate
It was Mr. Strong’s strength that was his build up
His massive muscles were his character in making female’s feel safe in his arms
Yet it was his confidence in don’t be alarmed
Mr. Strong was all strength in being a sturdy solid man
The call of his trade, a business man in demand
One of the strongest in the land
This was Manny Strong’s life that made Bleecker Street his caravan.

Viewers came to see if my Death was really true
It was more than a funeral and more of a slew
The clouds have opened wide and became my cloth curtain
Yet one that is certain
Heaven called and I answered
Remember me on my humor and writing style
Speaking one on one in making you think while
My captivation being about me
The multitudes for all to see
My spirit has left my body
I am only meaty flesh
This is all I have left
My clock has become a stopwatch
My life that accelerated in 22 catch
However time moved on
It was time destined in where I belong
I leave you only for a short while
Not my making but Heaven’s style
Remember me for me
Any misunderstandings please let be
This is my moment to be with thee
Think on how my writings inspired you
Remember is the determination for you to pursue
I leave you now
My spirit will continue to guide you in how
Goodbye for now and my assurance in the creation of wow
Live on and be strong with my legacy in communicating in getting along.

Now Houndman Joe nobody really knows
But to some Hound bus passengers, they have their own story that was never told
A Hound bus with a mission to ride
Houndman Joe being the stride
It seems that when Houndman Joe would drive, it was his personality and demeanor in doing his everyday job of preserver
It was the way he made Schedule announcements
That Welcome Aboard
His friendly hand in opening and closing the doors
Houndman Joe put confident with a definite sure
It was also the Hound bus uniform being how it was nearly pressed, and the shine in his shoes
He looked more like a military soldier than a Hound Driver
Houndman Joe drive being the ride that no one would refuse
His approach too passenger’s was like having a personal chauffeur
However, Houndman Joe took to the highway as if it was a personal friend
There’s no thinking from when and then
In fact, Houndman Joe greetings were totally sincere
But his driving, no one had any fear
However, he was his own talent being like a movie premiere
Yet, Houndman Joe had stories to tell and the passengers knew all too well
Stories that had meaning
Sometimes even make you laugh
For instance, Houndman Joe told the story of his pet male dog that rang away
His dog rang away to be with another female dog and never came back
But he finished the story with, “If only my wife would follow that same track
Well a hard act to follow
But it was a true story or was it?
I will never tell
Houndman Joe told an actual story of an actual passenger who travelled on his bus to buy some cigarettes
Instead, the passenger brought a Hound bus ticket to Los Angeles and rode for two days
I guess at this point, she knew her Husband was coming back
But let’s just say, her Husband stayed on his scheduled track
Yes that male passenger rode Houndman Joe’s bus
But remember the Hound’s bus old slogan, “Take the bus and avoid the fuss”
After while, the passengers just had to laugh
But there seemed to be a chain reaction, as one of the passengers announced is there anybody aboard running from their wife
Yet no one really answered
Yet this was Houndman Joe’s normal routine
The uniform and shoes all had their sheen
Well there’s your story of Houndman Joe
He was like a Commando, but without the war being the flow
Houndman Joe was the master of his own show
My hat off to you and everyday being the highway that you pursue.

The world is changing
Right before my eyes I see a rearranging
Tomorrow has a shade of black
Woes in oh no
Foes moving in letting it be so
Life has moved into its own chapter
I see a moon with no shine
Twinkled stars with lights out
A sun in blood red in rage
The impact has the Earth on edge
Suicides that will collide
No inspiration nor stride
Where’s that tomorrow I was promised?
But we must be completely honest

Justification is only a word
An accuse in wanting to be heard
Tomorrow is steadily fading
The meltdown has begun
It’s the countdown that has won
I can no longer sustain
It’s a stain with resido
Tomorrow is not a new day
It passed me nonstop in every way
The skies have made it clear
Tomorrow come back, come back
My own tears can’t even keep track
Tomorrow has gone to never appear
It’s total darkness that is near
Tomorrow ended on the spot
Tomorrow no more with never lived.

As I walk through the streets, it’s words that follow me
Observations that surround me give me inspiration
It’s when situations occur
The accounts being what they were
The sentences being my banner
The open word with the open heart extending to the reader to enter
But let me continue to journey on
I am alert and fresh and out of my yond
If I see adventure I will write
It will be in plain sight
My words can be the movement of the present, past and expectancy of the future
There might be times my words paint a picture
I was born to write
I am inspired having enthusiasm with excite
Writing blocks rarely occur
I write with ideas that quickly pop into my head
I will even write while I am still in bed
My writing can be a motivation tool encouraging others in being their own writing presentation
It comes by ideas having illustration
Now that I had to mention
Communicating to the world is my chapter
Readership that comes after
I am a good writer
People tell me that
I have a following and a track
I am not trying to give myself praise
My writing talent comes from God and what you read is his amaze
So now you should be ready to write
Turn on your computer and think on the writing content
Within seconds your writing will start being Heaven sent
I hope in some way I have inspired you
Perhaps writing will be a career you will want to pursue.

It was my life in a traveling new horizon depart
My life was going to be a new fresh start
That Greyhound bus 184 with a destination Chicago at 12:00 pm from New York City
A city I grew up and call a pity
I leave all my worries and care behind
I am sitting back in my Greyhound bus reclining seat
As the bus is maneuvering, my mind is thinking on defeat
As my Greyhound bus is swiftly moving over the highway
I am seeing highway signs that are saying, “Destined”, “Move Forward”, “Exploration”, “Don’t give into Defeat” and “Success is your Greyhound Bus”
However, my Greyhound bus was making a Rest stop at “Forever Young”
I am young at heart, and tomorrow a new chapter being a new beginning
I must remain focused in establishing more innings
Well my Greyhound bus pushed on and the night had finally arrived
It was off with the nightlight and a good night’s sleep
The Moon was shining bright and it seemed to bring me closer to my destination being ever so right
I am dreaming from once I came, but thinking about my new life being the aim
I am definitely Windy City bound
Arrival precisely on time at 9:00 am
Chicago where my life will begin
My travel finished and my story at end.

There’s more to the eye than writing being formed from a hamburger patty
Words being the prime ingredient
Sentences line by line of aroma sent
What’s cooking from the cookbook of your mind?
Careful preparation being the understanding
The thought coming directly from the writing ***
A capture aiming for your head in being the plot
It’s a theory having or not
The reader meeting the poet
The sentences in helping you know it
A be our guest approach
A choke on words being a joke
The Poet’s voice has spoken
You the reader have been chosen
The Poet being the Shake and Bake, and the reader being how well can they relate
As Poet’s, they arrange writing continuously being a date
The ideas in thoughts never late
It’s the moment of satisfaction in having the reader appreciate.

What happens when Bodybuilders retire from the sport?
No more lifting heavy weights
It was a sport any Bodybuilder did appreciate
The muscles will now become extinct
General fitness the key becoming unique
No more being muscle bound
Intensity will no longer be the sound
But a retired Bodybuilder will still be around in the background
Perhaps becoming a Personal Trainer in upcoming new bodybuilders
The chore of dieting for a contest no more
New Frontiers to explore for sure
But then again, perhaps pose one last time
A heart for the Bodybuilding sport still combined
A retired Bodybuilder you won’t find doing *******
That I am pretty sure
A retired Bodybuilders waist will adjust in size
But will still be energized
Too some that might be a surprise
Talk to a retired Bodybuilder and you will realize

An addiction with affliction
I have a craving to which I have no control
I am a ****** addict I have been told
It seems why I am an addict I have no clue
I don’t care about the world or the people
It’s just that simple
I rather steal to maintain my habit
That’s all too it
Society made me who I am
My drug abuse was meant to be
I am in the open for all to see
If Death were to come I wouldn’t know
My attitude on that is so
My habit is my own business
I am committed and I am the witness
It’s risk I take
It’s my decision I make
One sniff is never done
If you are looking for the Addict, I am that one.

Built from Ice and Snow
Her erected breast puts the neighborhood in the know
The Snow ******* stands out like two French Musical Horns
The formation being just right
Morning, Noon and Night
It is all shown in plain sight
Some call the Snow being the Snow Wonder Woman
I wouldn’t exactly call her A Marvel Avenger
It’s her stance
The effect the Snow ******* has on men
I hear relationships are trying to amend
Men might be on a prowl
Yet maybe keen eye like an Owl
Men sometimes fight with their own emotion
Yet relationships sometimes form commotion
The Snow ******* brings Ecstasy in the air
Her artistry is beyond compare
Every Snow Man would be her command
Creativity being her demand
The Snow ******* brings life to the yard
Maybe she might need a guard
The warmth will cause the Snow ******* to melt
The neighborhood would be saddened with a broken heart felt
It wouldn’t be until another winter wind
That would be when the Snow ******* would begin
So until her return
The remembrance of Ice and Snow
It’s all about the wintry flow
Snow *******
Formation Institute
Who would have thought?
I see relationships being fought
Days gone by
The Snow ******* is the reason why
Until then
The end

My life living as a slave
The powers simply want a servant too behave
But I have been praying to Heaven that one day I will be free
Yet it is Heaven that has truly inspired me
The name freedom being me in Jesus name
It is his understanding that keeps me tame
Oh freedom the whips that knocked me too the ground
My loud shouts of praise being my sound
Yet these shackles have me bound
Struggles I shall overcome
It’s salvation and everyone needs some
My power of faith is all I have left
Slavery is not a lifetime
It’s the Holy Spirit that carries me over
It’s Jesus that constantly providing the cover
Oh Freedom Oh Freedom
My years in being obedient in Jesus name
Deep in my heart I cannot blame
This was a testing faith moment
Believing that Jesus would be my freedom
The loosening of chains and what struggles won’t remain
I received wisdom coming from the kingdom
I have seen my struggles
It was more than a conflict
It was boundary from keeping me apart from my Lord
There was one mightier than I
There are no questions of why
As God and I see eye to eye
Oh Freedom for liberty for me to see
One day my rejoicing in Heaven with thee
Oh Freedom with the Holy Spirit
Salvation is the asking being God’s merit
Praise upon praise
Miracles upon miracles
I am the living example
I am a chosen child being ample
Oh Freedom that took awhile, but overcome being Jesus style.

It was St. George, South Carolina being the town
A miles walk to the country store
Blisters on my feet while my shoes relished in defeat
The blisters being my experience sore
A dirt road with all its galore
A farming town
A small house that centered being bound
A town with its own scenery ground
I worked on the farm in the very high hot sun
It wasn’t until sunset when we were done
Experience requiring endurance
A learning phase of influence
The farm animals to care
The grown food in prosperity to share
The true meaning of Deep South
An experience no northern major city can even mouth
It was the Hound bus that got me around
Homeward being New York City bound and arriving safe and sound
Farming I will never forget
Seeing a town in South Carolina leaving no regrets
It’s more of reflect and a lesson far more than elect.

Chapters start off about a boy who was failure
He would often have seizures
His parents always felt he wouldn’t amount to anything
But there is a twist being a bling
The boy who became a graduating High School Senior with honors
In fact, he was the Valedictorian
It was a touching moment as the audience looked on the young man’s openings words
“My life looked like I was put on hold with no dial tone. It seemed there was no inspiration other than the encouragement being my own.
Many nights I often cried while burning the midnight oil in thinking, there is no place for me to fit into this world. It wasn’t until I read the book called, “Achieve beyond your Mind”. It went into depth highlighting that the mind has a function and the concept of excelling or forever losing it. That was when I realized I am the power in thinking with the ability in establishing. I control my destiny where I am the bull’s eye in endeavors. As the speech went on, it was full of enduring encouragement to his fellow graduates. You succeed by making an effort and if you ever stop, you become stale and missing out on reaching your horizon in where you should be heading. However, you achieved what is important from the start and that is education. You proved it by being a High School graduate of today. Some graduates will continue on to College, and while others will test the waters of employment. Our High School has achieved its success in helping us to become the best. Our Teachers and Faculty instilled the concept of when in doubt education becomes the key. Let us as Graduates in using the principles of resource and being the commodity of excellence with the spirit of greatness. If you can see the light then you must walk towards light in giving you direction and success being your indication.
You will receive your award for the fruit of your labor, and that is a Diploma. Now what’s next? That is for you to ponder and continued understanding to get. Understanding comes by living until you have excelled all. In the young man’s closing, we were given a shot in what education was and should be. Let us go out and give the High School our honor and prove to the world that we are more than High School graduates, as we are thinkers and striving movers with a commitment.
It’s vision in look, and establishment in accomplish. The power is within our every thought, speech and walk. Use it wisely, and once again, it is knowledge and concept that you have. Struggles, circumstances and negativity may tell you can’t, but think on our forefathers who thought they couldn’t, but became their own solid breed of educators. It is the YES which simply means, “Yesterday, Education and Success”

After that, the young man received a standing ovation full of applause
His parents having no confidence of their son in the past, but all changed when their son was a product of his own assurance
The young man being an intellect and among
He proved he could achieve and his High School Diploma he did receive
The young man will be attending Princeton University in the fall
As he steps down from the stage, he says best wishes to all.

A woman who had class and perseverance
Added in was devotion for religion
Stella Young achieved in life what God decreed
It was living in faith in how she would proceed
Ms. Young’s career involved WABC-TV and JP MORGAN CHASE
She also had a caring voice in socializing
It would be laughs and plenty of encouraging words
Ms. Young was also an avid traveler among other things
But Heaven saw Ms. Stella Young had achieved enough on Earth
It was time for arrival in Heaven
The gates were opened
Ms. Young stepped in
It nothing but praise and rejoice
Her heavenly room was ready
It was planned just right and steady
Ms. Young and I would often travel on the LIRR together from work and talk
She will be missed and I even talked to her after she retired as I would often see her on any given Saturday
Ms. Young had that special smile and Fashion distinction
God bless the family, but to the family, you are never alone, as Heaven is your encouragement
Heaven that will guide
The blessings that Jesus will provide
“Father I pray on this day, the road is long and may have some detours, please don’t let any family member to go astray. I need you Jesus to carry the family every step of the way”.

Everyone’s heart transcended through space
A multitude of Poet’s ideas, so follow me being a trace
We have a race against time
But keep that Poetry momentum in thinking of mine
Words that can be disbursed throughout the universe
A Poetry read not needing any rehearse
Sentences have found their new birth
It all started on good old Earth
Eye on emotion
The microscope being clarity
Our spacecraft into many worlds unknown
Saturn promoting a Poet’s writings
The Moon giving applause
The stars being are the attended read
Now let’s proceed
Like I said prior, we have a race against time
Tomorrow’s poetry word is yesterday gaining inspiration
Poetry words continue, but galactic expressions expand throughout the galaxy
A Poet echoes words throughout, and planets hear and shout
A Poet is more than a person living on Earth
A Poet has supernatural powers
They write for hours
A Poet writes until perfections transforms and is won
A true Poet knows when to the ****** the finale being done
Now let’s head back to our Earth base home
We have taken poetry far and it will continue to roam
Time wasn’t wasted, but a Poet’s time in a galaxy spent.

It was a moment of darkness
Light beyond reach
Yet a voice with inspiration too preach
All I could do was stare at the night
Since there wasn’t anything too view in sight
I just sat and bared my plight
It happened all of a sudden
The city was blacked out community by community
But it became a unity shattered by darkness
The stare became how much can one bare
But there was plenty of time too spare
Yet the uncertainness of darkness became a tone of beware
This was something I wanted too share
Darkness from when, and later light came at the end.

Words alone cannot express how I feel
It’s reality kicking in being for real
I know poetry is about expression
Yet at times it can be a teaching lesson
It has been said “Write what you feel”
But it also comes in life does the Poet know how to deal?
Sentences being direct in show the way
It’s certain words in what the Poet can say
The Poet knows and shows
Write by thought
The inner emotions in how the Poet fought
The times of struggles between barriers feeling like a justice court
Yet the Poet is in “Write On”
A place where the Poet belongs
This is why Poetry is so strong
There might be myth or fact
But the Poet makes it happen just like that
It’s tomorrow’s promise
However it becomes the Poet being honest
Life being what it seems
It becomes that moment alone
Yet write and let it be known
Novels tell fiction
Poets tell reason
It can be in and out of season
The Poet is what he or she says
A response in many ways
The Poet lives to tell
It’s the sentences to readers to sell
There is no Oh Well
There is no Poet stature written on the Far Head
Read a Poet’s work will be your understanding instead
Move from anguish to prosperity
Look where you arrived at a Poet’s Society
Witness now
But let the Poet show you how
A storm may erupt
Poet’s words can sometimes be like wine in a cup
A Poet is simply to be
So who are we?
No explanation needed
The Poet shall proceed
Poet gives encouragement to all being need.

I am your Poet Host
My work has been seen coast to coast
An overnight cruise where you will be enthused
Solving a ****** mystery you just can’t refuse
It’s a competition and someone will win or lose
As the ship pulled off the dock
There will be a setting with a plot
Participate or not
Everyone is all in the ship dining room
Someone is going to be eliminated soon
Suddenly the dining room lights abruptly went out
Immediately following there was a big shout
However, the lights came back on, but a male passenger was stabbed in the back
The killer might still be among
Don’t let it be you minus one
Now it’s time to investigate with the pack
It’s up to you to solve the ****** mystery being sharp as a tack
One of the female passengers stands suspiciously looking guilty
That man in the corner looks like he is looking for pity
The Captain seems to be in a hurry
What is all that about?
I won’t say anymore as it is up to you to explore and compare
When you think you have the solution to the case then please share.

It’s the highways leading to various interstate routes
Vacationer’s travelling being a tout
Going from state to state
Seeing history as they relate
Knowing directions being a piece of cake
Speed traps being more than a motorist can take
Speed limit being the key
Sign after sign in see
There is plenty of scenery along the way
Observe the high mountains I would say
No mechanical car troubles and that is definitely ok
Yet as we continue on our way
We have passed various cities in various states
There is plenty of granite and slate
Route upon route
The American Flag as we salute
Highways leading to everywhere
Each passing city all had their flair
But a word of caution in beware
Never pick up hitchhikers
It could be your death on the road
A circumstance that you won’t be able to control
Destination being the strive
The mission is to “ARRIVE ALIVE”.

Hand in hand
Kiss to kiss
Eye to Eye
Enchanted romance
Fireworks action
Smile into joy laugh
Arm of embrace
Two golden hearts
Love on high
Love between
Interlude I mean
Love with a take off
No departure
Enduring arrival
Senses of love
The smell of fragrances of both
Love sounding like an oath
Committed and connected
Surge of promise
Dedicated with honor
Sophisticated flavor
Love on
Live on
Rock on
Love time
Genuine
Everlasting

It was a past about a horse and a Cowboy
But it wasn’t a story of Indians in attack, but happiness being a joy
This was a time when the West had already won
It was some Navajo Indians who became friends among
The Navajo Indians shared cultures and traditions
The Cowboy trained the Indians in how to ride a horse
It was a nature care thing having no force
The Navajo Indians lived in their own reservation
You could call it preservation
The Navajo Indians were trained for battle and attack
Yet some people wonder about that
But the Cowboy instilled that there was trust
He also showed no need to fuss
The horse even familiarized himself with the other horses of the Navajo Indians
Everyone got along
This was the books past back that needed to belong
This was the chapters throughout the book
All one has to do is just take a look
Western movies always portrayed Indians with Wagons and Stagecoach attacks
However, that was the movie’s action fact
It didn’t always happen like that
There was calmness but some fear with uncertainness
People were living in assumption and not on trust
Yet the Cowboy and a horse showing Indians can be friends
But the book illustrated in not to live in fear
A book that showed the story right
What was darkness have shed some light.
