THE FRENCHIE FOUR WHEELS

What do the Eiffel Tower, French Speaking Language, French Fries and French Café Streets have in common
Enchanted Paris
The French having all that
But it is the Citroen Car Sedan being the fact
My Grandfather owned the Citroen Car Sedan, but he wasn’t French and it all happened in the USA
I remember as if it was yesterday, my Grandfather had not only had the Citroen Sedan, but he also had the Station Wagon as well
Well let me tell
The Citroen had destined specifications and design
For starters, there was no ignition key, but it was a push button for transmission, Two Marker Lights on the Left and Right in the back
I hope you are keeping track
The most important element to the Citroen was that you had to wait for the back of the car to rise
Surprised?

Yes rise
But the Citroen sedan was unique
It was small and petite
I remember my Grandmother not liking the Citroen because of the waiting period to move into drive
Once the Citroen rose in the back, it would suddenly eject back to normal and at the point it was all go
Even myself, I had to get used to the Citroen, and my taste for French flavor
After the Citroen Sedan, my Grandfather decided to trade the Citroen Sedan for a Station Wagon
It was the same concept, but slightly longer, and more wider
But there was an end to the Citroen Station Wagon in my life
My Grandfather, Grandmother, Female Cousin and myself were riding along Atlantic Avenue of the LIRR Station of East New York when all of sudden, the wheel in the back of the Citroen on the passenger’s side came completely off and laid flat on the ground
Thank God no one was hurt
So my Grandmother actually got her wish of no more Citroen
My Grandmother told my Grandfather, the next car, let it be one to get in and drive off
So the Citroen became history
But what was the other car my Grandfather got, I will let that be a mystery
So I got the French experience on wheels
The Citroen being no more
It is all memorable with a reflection galore.

I was raised by my Granddad
He thought of me as his Lad
He taught me right from wrong
He also expressed in how I should get along
My thoughts are his legacy he gave me
“Be everything that you are meant to be”
“Become a Commodity”
It was all related for what my Granddad expected for me in life
My Grandad had me practice typing 4 hours every day, and helped me build up my vocabulary intellectually
The whole process was preparing for College Education
My Granddad would often say “I don’t care other young people are doing, but for you it will be Higher Learning”
Higher Learning it was
He saw me being an achiever
However, it was my Granddad being a Believer instilling assurance within me
I thank my Granddad often for his influence
If it wasn’t for my Granddad, I don’t think I would have pushed myself into expectations
My Granddad’s legacy still holds true today in giving
I made many strides of accomplishments
All through the guidance of my Granddad, but I must give thanks to the Almighty above
His spirit holds true within my heart
I will never forget
I am the Adult he said I would become
My Granddad said, “You will remember this Old Man”
I do, and have no reason not too
So Happy Father’s Day in the Heavenly divine
Your Grandson is going just fine
Your teachings were tough
Your influence was more than enough
Your Legacy followed
Happy Father’s Day beyond.

My tomorrow was yesterday
Anguish within being a disturbance
My heart is broken into two parts
Circumstance and chance
Hope seemingly like a put on hold
But the fire in me says be bold
A guiding voice says listen as there’s a message of told
I am young, but think old
Desperation like a heavy thunderstorm
I feel like I am drowning to the deep
What advice do I seek?
Instead of being absorbed, rise to the surface and breathe
Tomorrow will come
But one must be patient with praising hands up
Tomorrow doesn’t come until ready
Just hold steady
Be prepared!

Eeny Meeny Miny Moe
A phrase and let go
Putting one in the know
A pick and choose moment
The start with eeny meeny miny moe
The end in moe
The count
The who
Choosing
Being chose
The person
The winner

It starts when a Mother gives child birth
A Newborn of joy that has arrived on Earth
This is the time when nurturing begins
A time when a Mother will teach
The learning moment in showing the child in how to reach
Being courteous towards others from the very start
A child’s love coming from a Mother’s love
Adornment being everything to think of
A Mother teaching a child right from wrong
A Mother’s affection enforcing love where the child belongs
Discipline in helping a child to get along
A Mother’s job is never done
This is why Mothers are needed being among

A Mother who oversees when a child is sick
Yes, it’s all about love that will stick
Hugs when a child feels alone and depressed
It’s the Mother again at her job doing her daily best
Mother’s defends when child danger is near
It’s the everlasting love being preserver
Mothers are the one who really do care
That specific line above I had to share
So it’s so fitting to say Happy Mother’s Day
But it is the Love, Honor and Kisses I am sending your way.

Harmony tick tock
Precision right on the dot
Tone around time
Each clock sounded like a musical blend
It was totally breathtaking within
It was the clock’s version of “The Hand Of Time”
The moment in the hour
The second at the minute
The place being any place
The fact of time having no waste
Serene yet gentle
The clock’s playing the skies song of “The Rhythm of the horizon above”
A place in time to think of
Your time is now
The sounds
Acceleration of time
All being one of a kind
The time instrument of delight
The thought of suggestion in might
Time opening the eyes and seeing today well into tomorrow’s daylight
Fast moving hands of time
Now settle down and unwind
Your time you didn’t expect
Time after time

Our love being smooth and creamy to the touch
Love and more Love that echoes much
Caramel, Vanilla or Dark Chocolate, it’s doesn’t matter what flavor
As long as we are together, our Love is the slaver that will never melt
It will be ******* love that will be felt
Eye to Eye in feelings being dealt
Chocolate with all its nuts and cherries
Yet our love being intense varies
****** being no end
But when it comes to our love, we say when
Eating more Chocolate that comes out the box
It’s about Love and off with the socks
We eat more Chocolate to munch
Thank you Babe my love being a bunch
You flavored me
Our intimacy for only us to see
Love that keeps our relationship in tone
There could be tonight a full moon
Love coming at you and could be soon.

My realization of Miracle on 34th Street that came to life
My years working for Macy’s Corporate at the Flagship Herald Square Tower
It was the Macy’s and Gimbel’s competitive era
The miracle started with Macy’s was planning a big advertising campaign
The story begins with a Macy’s Buyer and Gimbel’s Buyer having lunch
Both Buyers asked the same question of what was happening at both companies
Macy’s and Gimbel’s were foes
Being both dominance on Herald Square back then, and Macy’s still is
They always had to outdo the other
As it turned out, the Macy’s Buyer told the Gimbel’s Buyer exactly what was happening at Macy’s
So how, Gimbels heard about the advertising campaign that Macy’s was going to illustrate
For Gimbels that was an appreciate
Strategy beat to the punch
Gimbel’s presented Macy’s advertising campaign making it there’s
This made Mr. Edward Finkelstein, Macy’s former CEO President frustrated
Mr. Finkelstein had another theory with another idea
Counter attack being that Mr. Finkelstein had someone spy on Gimbel’s to see what they were planning
Ready, aim and observe

Gimbel’s had their plan so sophisticated and complex that Macy’s own couldn’t figure out, but presented only a portion the best they could
The Gimbel’s plan didn’t come out the way Macy’s encountered
Macy’s loss on that score
Later that morning at precisely 10:00 am, Mr. Finkelstein had email sent to everyone at Macy’s that we are not to discuss any Macy’s business with Gimbel’s
Miracle defeat in devastation of disappointment
Nonetheless, miracle seen through both companies of Macy’s and Gimbel’s
My yesteryear back
I worked in Mr. Edward Finkelstein’s Executive Office at one time assisting Veronica, Mr. Finkelstein’s Secretary in various Typing projects
I took a Typing test at Macy’s and tested at 95 words per minute with only made on error
Because of that, I was asked from time to time to assist in his office
M. Edward Finkelstein is deceased
Miracle through being competitive
My history in exploring
My story
Miracles have it for all to remember
They can happen anywhere
Miracle on 34th Street
Upbeat and neat

Teeth that have tooth decay
Goodbye to Chick Fil
Juicy Fruit and Spearmint Gum
Now I don’t none
My decayed teeth will no longer be the one
If I keep eating sweets, my teeth will actually be a retreat
A smile was a memory while
It’s good teeth that gives a person style
There’s more to teeth than just chew
I will pause and let you think through
Tooth decay with less bite
Now what I have is a plight
It will be off to the Dentist for a fix
It could be an appointment for six
My picture moment will become a shock
I firmly believe that this is a plot
But it doesn’t matter if I like it or not
So now I won’t be able to smile for a while
Once upon a smile
My teeth I though would go that extra mile
But now it is once upon a smile.

Crime in Sentenceville
Time after time to fill
Justice within the period of Villain’s rise in Jail time
It was the villain called Night in planning a crime wave of all crime waves
Intentions with no behave
Night planned to steal all Poetry work causing desperation
It was the hour of midnight, and the plan was taking place at that moment within a suburb warehouse in Wordyton part of Sentenceville
The alarm was cut off and every careful step made
Nothing was overlooked, but carefully mapped out
But was it?
Poet Man got the call that something sinister was taking place
It was dash into the Book Mobile, and put a seal onto Night’s plot
It is going to be a Night of like it or not
When Poet Man arrived, he confronted Night, and he was surprised
But Night’s Hutchmen thought they were wise
But Poet Man is energized full of words of power
Hour by hour
But was Poet Man outnumbered?
He came prepared with illusionist his wonder
The fight grew into Justice having a battle with evil
As the fight became intense between Poet Man with Illusionist by his side with competing with Night and Hutchmen
All kinds of words flying through the air during the fight such as Distinguished, Justice, Liberty and creation straight out
Poet Man and Illusionist gave a fight to the finish in keeping Poetry where it stands and where it belongs in society
So behind bars and hutchmen got
Night saw daylight being caught like a net
Poet Man and Illusionist had that effect
Poet Man and illusionist said, “Poetry is here to stay, but Night will always see darkness loss in his own fog”.

Front and Center
2023 a year of doubt
Plenty of corruption bout
Through situations and circumstances
No way out
Protestors chanting in shouts
Unrest and no peace
No assurance in the least
Lives loss for unseen reasons
The world seemed like it was unglued
2023 felt more like a conclude
Justice with questionable values
Washington, DC Political voices stand, but who was listening?
Battles after battles, but still no cease
The Media telling nothing but daily negative
It was totally an objective.

2023 offered plenty of uncertainty
So what do you expect from 2024
No straight answer
It is a wait and see approach
I would love to see World Peace, Togetherness and Total Unity
End of Violence
Respect and eliminated hatred
Race not being a factor
A total subtractor
2024 I hope will be different from 2023
Negativity out and Prosperity in
A world of tranquil and smiles
Where overcoming struggles while
Upbeat
2024 that would be neat
We can only hope with expect
That would be a blessing having that effect
2023 we say goodbye
It wasn’t an easy try
2024, please enlighten us
Away with fuss and cuss
2024, please do your best
Accepting nothing for less
More is better
2024, we await.

12345
You are probably wondering what keeps alive
Some are thinking now, who cares and I am full of jive
But the flavor in ingredient is strive
Then hope and not thinking injected in dope
But it goes even further
Live one’s life out until complete
Not trying to use deceit
You will only lose in defeat
Now living forever would be nice
But life doesn’t work like that
Its reality and not a fact
It’s about positive thinking
Followed by believing
Understanding one’s self
Not thinking like everybody else
But there is another side
It’s being truthful and honest from within
But through it all, it’s the Lord I will abide
He controls the provide
I am not going to hide
That’s my12345 is now I will stride.

George Floyd’s encountered virtue captured
Beyond the words of “I Can’t Breathe”
A feeling now in being at ease
George Floyd’s last dying moments, he called for his Deceased Mother
Son, I see your pain and suffering, and I will rescue you
George Floyd’s Deceased Mother heard his cry, I welcome you by my side
Together we shall reside
You suffered enough, and Heaven is no bluff
Everlasting soothing peace
Praise and come up and take part in this spiritual feast
Your soul has been counted, and lifted up
Son, you are home at last
Now you can breathe and rejoice.

Not about a trash bag
A pulley man being no drag
Sound the Trumpet’s as there is strength in our midst
Hefty Thomas, a Weightlifting Champion
He could lift 1000 pounds in weights as if they were toys
He could bend steel bars as if they were rubber
Mr. Thomas performed Feats of Strength
He is one that goes at every length
Hefty pulls heavy trucks, buses and even a large passenger plane
He is his own takeoff and controls his own boundaries
The world has witnessed Hefty Thomas at numerous weightlifting competitions
Competitors are always warned when Hefty demonstrates
Once Hefty lifts, the message becomes clear to competitors, “Lift or stay home”
Some people saw Hefty as Hercules while others see him as Atlas
But no matter what, strength in any name
Hefty is a strength warrior
He also had been witnessed in crushing a solid brick to ashes with one crush
Hefty wrestled a Lion, and you could hear Bone Crushing sounds from the Lion
Greater the strength the power within the heart
Heft Thomas stands 6’2” weighing 400 pounds with veins extending from his neck to his legs
His muscles are all beef and contour
Hefty is not a little man and some consider him a giant in average standards
He had broken world weightlifting records
Yet, he never competed in the Olympics, but didn’t chose to do so
Hefty Thomas wanted to show the possibilities in how strength could be performed in fitness good in strength beyond compare
He was a man who had a mission, and strength being his bounty and that I wanted to share.

The Earth sky draws dark
The torment of Thy
It was the Hour, Minute and moment Sacrifice
The Lord being beaten and torn
Being forced to wear thorns
The cross standing tall being set
Heavy Rain and Thunder adding to the effect
The flash of lightning being the words from Heaven
The sacrifice begins
Birth to end
Jesus praying and speaking words of gestures during his final hours hanging on the cross
His last words “It is Done”
The Lord’s mission was completed, but we still have a beginning to fulfill in the gospel
He rose from the grave redeeming our souls
King of Kings
Lord of Lords
Easter being the day of Revelation
We are the image of the Lord’s creation
The Savior is the Present, Tomorrow and Future
We are connected in Spirit and Truth
Blessed it is all who believe
Don’t let the Devil take over and deceive
Risen above all

Picture the scene with no highway cars nor traffic
This race is definitely specific
A highway that stretches far
Those Drivers cannot be thinking going to a bar
It’s a race involving Greyhound, Trailways and Coach USA
Notice I didn’t mention Peter Pan
This race they are not in demand
What bus company do you think would win?
Who would be the champion at the end?
Even though the Greyhound Dog is known for speed
Nonetheless, let’s proceed
Greyhound is Challenger A, Trailways is challenger B and Coach USA is challenger C
So let the race begin
The three bus companies are all set
Does anyone care to wager a bet?
This is as good as its going to get
The bus companies are off
Down Interstate 95, Greyhound takes the lead
But hold on, Trailways takes the stead
You would have thought the highway was a track
But there is no fact
Coach USA is mad and decides to speed up
But from the look of things, the Coach USA Driver looks fed up
Coach USA is now in the lead
But only for a short moment
Greyhound swiftly takes the lead
The bus companies are ever inching towards the finish line
Who will win?
How about that, it turns out to be a tie
Yet Greyhound, Trailways and Coach USA are all quality bus companies
But the race proves, it takes skills to drive a bus, and being masterful in safety all being a plus.

On the first day of Christmas
The Lord gave me a gift being a blessing to write

On the second day still inspired that went into the night

On the third day, I didn’t take the gift light

On the fourth day, continued to write with no plight

On the fifth day, joy all the way

On the sixth day, we had a snowstorm, and got out my sleigh

On the seventh day, fun being travel in a getaway

On the eighth day, thankful in every way

On the nineth day, rest and sleep

On the tenth day, dreaming of sheep

On the eleventh day, surrounded by family and friends

On the twelve day, the holiday slowly wined down, and came to an end

There once was a bus
A question came, and what is all the fuss?
It was bus passion coming alive
The purpose in making sure buses survive
The idea was preservation
Buses were travelling up and down the road
Suddenly there was a behold
Buses became more in talk
Bus Enthusiast had to stalk
Bus creation became presentation
Bus hearts was the representation
Buses are now alive and well
You see my “DO TELL”
When you see a bus pass by, just wave
Buses have been awakened to the sunrise, and have an ongoing sunset
The vintage bus just got noticed
Bus passion made that obvious
Your bus has rolled out
It is somewhere moving about
Take time to Marvel any bus, and check it out.

There was a haunted house
It was invaded with a many mouse
Neighbors on the street felt afraid
Even through the sunshine, it was always darkness being the shade
It was reality surrounding the made
Many people walked into the haunted house, but never came out
Spirits and Ghosts were all moving about
You would often hear moans of despair
But to the actual human that doesn’t even compare
I would suggest that you not be alone
Electricity is out and no phone
Spirits will invade bodies in search for eternity
It will happen right in your city
The spirits have no pity
The Moon is darkened and the skies have rage
Lightning and Thunder call for the moment
Awaken and rise
1177 Monster Lane is the enterprise
Humans will be the reign by the spirits
Flesh has no merit
Scream until you are hoarse
1177 Monster Lane is the force
Free from these spirits
No one knows when
You can’t escape
The distinction has become transcended

Buses decorated with holiday cheer
Journey without fear
Celebrating bus moving on the road
The off ramp showing the holiday in behold
Snow is falling forming the joy threshold
Buses make it all that
Travel behind the fact
Singing Carole’s along the way
The road then becomes narrow
Directed by arrows
No matter what
Season’s greetings aboard the Christmas bus
No need to worry nor fuss
The Holiday celebration involves all of us
Bussing into the finale
Extending Holiday wishes to all
Remember the reason for the season
Bussing venture
More than just a gesture
A forever NOEL

Head West
Though it will be days through the countryside
Indians that hide
The fabric of Rawhide
The Heavens reigns we will abide
Attacking arrows shooting on target at our wagon in the air
The moment of silence having a caution of beware
Harsh terrain in all elements
Segments having no compliments
Indian tails throughout the wagon train trails
Sleepless nights and endless days
The thought of time and how it strays
Every given moment the feeling of warmth being the sun’s rays
Resting days becoming a moment stay
Uncertainty in every way
Determination being a push on
It’s a wonder how we all got along
Distance to the West ever so far
It will be the closer we get
What we left behind being no regret
Anguished and tormented
Determination still
Strength in the mind yet having a will
The West will be our everlasting Gravy Train
Our battles along the way have been insane
But through the Heaven’s Guide, the West being our sun dance
This was our only opportunity to advance
Wagon train, you did us well
We survived our ordeal and had a story to tell.

My heart suddenly stopped
Yet I was still breathing
My Soul wondered am I having an out of body experience
Heaven crossed swiftly through my eyes
Somehow, I felt energized
I was flying through space
But it was at a steady pace
Just floated
It was as if I was a moving boat just cruising along
But my heart still wasn’t beating
Mystery
Through it all, I wondered what was going on and did I die?
I was numb
My eyes opened and I was in a hospital and hospital staff revived my heart and the heart monitor was beating steady responses
I lived
No one understands how my heart stopped but I was still breathing
Miraculous
I survived to tell my story
Glory

Up the ladder to a place
Show me the way
Lead me to piano swing
Rhythm light into music rise
Inspire me
Set the night tone of music
Piano keys with the touch here and there
Suddenly a ballet coming together
Oh yeah JAZZ
Stepping from Midtown to Uptown
Harlem ways
Entertainment like no other
Music intensifying the moment
Desire
Excuse me Young Lady
Sing like Billie Holliday
Move like Tina Turner
Be confident like Patti LaBelle
Ivories take control
Prove to all the dancers and lovers
Bring in the flavor of Then and Now
Excitement of oh wow
Piano shine
Talent combined
Open up
The dance floor needs an overture
Drink up
Entertainment every night
Piano Spotlight
All eyes
Play all night
Mellow and slow
Dancers being close
Lovers with a score
Don’t want the night to end
Piano setting the right Blend
Piano dreams
A could be
The club lights are slowly dimming
A night’s end
Goodness done
Pass me a cigarette and light up
Good Morning
How was your night?
Jazzy thought
All that Jazz

So where did it begin?
Sat and wrote
I thought this must be a joke
Letters formed before my eyes in plain sight
They turned me into a Poet I was meant to be
Directed by own ability
But it was through Heaven’s guidelines
I became an automatic Poet
My inner thoughts needed to be expressed
You could call a testimony of confess
Being like cotton through the nylon
My own daily words to look upon
You never know unless you give a try
My fears felt like a war cry
I became a Poet being I
It was Heaven that gave me the inspiring gift
It was the moment that came swift
Time became my words to the world
A revolving swirl
My beginning until end
No hold bars nor pretend
No worries nor fear
Preserver
Stop only for a short pause
My purpose had a cause
Conquered struggles unmeasurable
Being confident made me able
I don’t know what holds for my tomorrow
Being a Poet now is my morrow
My own accord having no sorrow
A legacy encouraging others in their own possibilities
Let it become responsibilities
Assured influence
This is who I am
My words know me better
Before into the after
From valleys to mountain tops
Encouragement that says don’t stop
My own horizons I hold close
Now you know
Don’t you ever let go
Be your own best poet that you could ever be
Believe in yourself for all to see
Word stories, who knew?
Now pursue

What do Cheyenne, Clinton and Evanston have in common?
Now Clinton has nothing to do with the former President
It describes the state of Wyoming
Wyoming has the high mountains and Wide Open Spaces
The absolute Oasis
A state that found in many of the Western Movies
The Stagecoach era being the state of travelling buses
The western venue of horses and Saloons
Drinking until into Sunrise
The state having a Sheriff in your town
It is where draw your Guns between the Sheriff and Villains
Wyoming known for its Westerners and Indians days
Often Indians looked high above
It was possible attack to think of
Wyoming being a place to breath in that fresh mountain air and of course roaming Wyoming’s terrain
Wyoming being a definite exploration
The days of herding Cattle
One would be riding a horse on saddle
Wyoming beats the East Coast
But one is heading for the West Coast
Think of Wyoming of Wuthering Heights
Journey that is endless
Prospering while nurturing
Starting a new life
Vintage in realistic
Creative yet artistic
A Wyoming adventure that would be fantastic
How does one describe Wyoming, “Free too Roam wide open spaces”

The past
Living
The life
Old Brownstone
Where life began
My Grandparent
Tenderness love
Total inspiration
Embraced aspirations
My Grandmother would often say, “Follow Heaven and you will reach devoted everlasting”
Grandson, you will be someone memorable all possible
You will see many wonders throughout your living years
Direct approach into preserver
There were tears at times
My learning was all fine
The Old Brownstone had all kinds of memories
Family love and family being family
I always believed in myself
Trustful and honor
My own inner beauty seen beyond reflection
I paid attention
My surface enriched
Holy and mellow
I am that fella
My life unlocked
Through the thorns uncertain
Removing the closed curtain
Detours and off ramps
Back on track
Pure fact
The brownstone showed me the way
I had no reason to go estray
Life is what you make it
Last chance to get it right
The thoughts day and night
Brownstone guidance
Brooklynite vibe
Fulfilled

Observing the skies
Wisdom becomes wise
I began to think
Heaven comes to mind
The thought of prayer
Looking for a blessing
When it comes being devoted
Committed spirit in my heart
Determined
A moment of praise
When understanding seems so far
Knowledge rushes in being expelled
Assurance sometimes becomes a lack
Faith is strengthened at every length
The thought of being a creation
The mold of true self built just right
Purpose having an assignment
The thought of a refreshing fountain
Clear waters that quinch my thirst
I am hungry
Solid ground of plenty
In a matter of thinking beyond
Heaven’s permission living among and embrace in the days to follow.

Happy Father’s Day to all
However some covering both roles
It’s about taking responsibility and raising the child
No matter how busy with schedules while
Being a Father is what it is all about
Its commitment and your child’s problems out
You thought to yourself, you could never be a DAD
But look, a portion of you being your own Male Lad
Then you thought you wanted a Boy, but got a Girl
Either way, your heart just swirled
But becoming a Parent it didn’t matter as long that you had a healthy baby
You played the Parenting Dad well
Everyone you come in contact with gives you inspiration in tell
You love your Son and Daughter in admiration
But we all know it is all in appreciation
Before you know it, your children will be off to College or their Wedding Day
But you will have plenty of words to say, “I AM HAPPY HOW YOUR TURNED OUT, BUT HAPPY TO BE YOUR DAD, GRANDDAD OR GODFATHER, HAPPY TO CONSIDERED TO BE YOUR DAD IS WHAT YOU WILL BE TALKING ABOUT”
Happy Father’s Day
There’s no more I need to say.

What an honor to celebrate
Women all over the world to appreciate
Yet we honor that is each yearly round
Hooray is the sound
Women have a achieved in their own right
But throughout history, the world took it light
There progress through determination
The results being their Representation
The proven fact in the women’s illustration
The women proved to the world that they are thinking machines
The strides through many entities
The struggles through many hurdles
It doesn’t matter if it is Scientific, Managerial, Preaching the Gospel or even Performing Arts using Creativity and Dramatics
Capable in any form showing action in prosperity
It was the inspiration of advance
Women simply stepped out to opportunity being their chance
They cut through the Discrimination
The women said no to Condemnation
Their thoughts and spirits was going to be their turn out
This is what achievements is all about
Women are destined in their own Representation
It’s all about inspiration
But perfection being preparation
Women of the world possessing courage through motivation
The Spotlights are all on them
Being an Achiever and Believer
The women are their comforter in establishing as a reliever
Finding truth within false
The Women are the charm being treasures of a good find
Beauty within and soul throughout
Congratulations in being Women’s History Month, now this is their own accomplishment with a purpose to achieve
I leave you with a quote from Serena Williams, “I REALLY THINK A CHAMPION IS DEFINED NOT BY THEIR WINS, BUT BY HOW THEY CAN RECOVER WHEN THEY FAIL”.

It was an elegant affair
This was beyond Folgers moment
It was a pure Caviar and Chandelier delight
The Wine Glasses enchanted in party approval
Now that might sound unusual
But the Cup and Saucers got on the dance floor
Even the Stars that were outside had to twinkle
It was sheer beauty and ambivalent
Yet, the party was far from silent
Even the Tea Kettles got into the dancing act
But it goes even beyond that
The Drums had their own beat
Let me tell you, it was the Cups, Saucers, Tea Kettles and even Coffee Pots on the dance floor moving to the sounds of melody on their feet
But the party had a certain magical environment being totally unexpected
The Violins added their theme in mellows and serene tone’s
The music being right for the night
The party was far from any Disney dear
But there was endurement near
However, credit must be given to credit due, the tea cups started the party off, and the Drums and Violins held the party up
Excuse me now, while I get on the dance floor
This is romantic music I can’t ignore.

I was driving on Interstate 95 of the New Jersey Turnpike
Newark, New Jersey could be seen in plain sight
I was on my way to Baltimore, Maryland
As I was driving, I noticed the car was swerving in the front from side to side
I was wondering if I would have an accident, and where would I reside
So I slowed down, and the realized I had a tire flat in the back
Now the tire needed to be changed
However, this was a new car
So that means the car should had gone far
So here I was stuck on the New Jersey Turnpike near Bordentown
There was immediate traffic moving at night
Yet no New Jersey Patrol in plain sight
Suddenly without notice, a New Jersey Turnpike arrived swiftly on the scene
The Patrol Officer was kind, and Thank God not mean
He asked what make was my car, I responded a Mercury Marquis
The seconds became hours
Much later, a Mechanic arrived, he said the reason he was late, and he was given the wrong make and direction
Once the Mechanic was complete, I was finally on my way to my Baltimore
Destination
I arrived there safe
I had no accident
Thank God the flat tire was the only incident

It was a little Girl and a Male Greyhound Bus Driver. It was a little Girl who travelled quite frequently on a Greyhound bus from Houston, Texas to Lake Charles, Louisiana to visit her Grandparent. Being a young passenger alone, the Greyhound Bus Driver known as Mike always looked after her through her journey on his bus. Mike treated the little Girl as if it was his daughter he never had. Mike’s Wife had died and he never had any children. It was always Mike’s friendly warm hands at the Greyhound bus steering wheel and his storytelling vibes that embraced the fatherly approach from Mike, the Greyhound bus Driver. Mike was the guardian Angel to the little girl from the years then and still embarking even today. But there is a change. The little girl is all grown up into an adult woman. The little girl now adulthood never forget the caring heart that Mike had for her as a child. Admiration came a long way. Stacey was that little girl, but now has fond memories back then. Stacey spends time with Mike on Thanksgiving, Christmas and Birthdays they spend together with each other.

Stacey’s Grandmother passed some time ago, but that doesn’t stop her in her journey with Mike being like a faithful Dad in her travels from Houston to Lake Charles. Many miles shared together. Once a little Girl captured a Hound bus Driver’s heart. The watch and listen being a true story of its own. Highway miles and loving smiles.

Efforts have a movement
Determination must have a desire
Understanding comes with Education
Knowledge comes with teachings
Inspiration comes from within
All these above state the possibilities in accomplish
But one must truly establish
One must know how to succeed in getting to proceed
The first thing, one must not listen to negativity unless it’s constructive
Later set goals for yourself and not what goals other people want you to have
The term you will never amount to anything, delete and toss out of your mind
Instead add I will, I can, shall
Everyone has abilities, but you have been labelled like a food can
Labels are only words and they need not to be heard
You have that creativity, but you must unlock in order to be proven
The honor is with you
This is something you must think on in order to pursue
No one is going to give you anything
However, if you make the necessary efforts, the rewards can become endless
The purpose is to prove to your self
Don’t be a follower like everybody else
You are the voice of reason
Don’t live your life like a forbidden treason
But live your life having a reason
You will excel
But negativity doesn’t want to tell
Inspiration being your own accord
What you will establish will be your applause
Many people in your life don’t want you to succeed
But turn my thoughts into your success creed
Let my words be like a motivation feed
Success waits
Don’t sit back and hesitate
Fate is an uplifting slate
Be motivated before it’s too late.

Sun up to Sun down
You would often see me write in my living room being found
I come from a small town
But on this particular day, I had no ideas to write
I don’t know if it was fright
It might have been a temporary writing block in a moment plight
But let me catch my breath over the shock
I am determined ready or not
Suddenly, ideas began to pop into my head
This was my moment to write and not hesitate instead
My words literally jumped from my head and onto the paper
I was writing as if it was a caper
I was totally motivated and full with appreciate
For Heaven’s sake
My writing has an illustrate
Moon’s ago
I was a vision from a dream
There was no danger by any means
I lived and was taken care of by Wolves
I learned to eat and protect myself
It was living in nature survive
I began too embrace with nature in the all outdoors
It didn’t matter to the Wolves if that I was human with two fours
It was an embracing affair full of love
Now that I was a Full Gown adult, it was time to move on and tell the Wolves Good-Bye
The Wolves howled in not wanting me to leave
I hugged each Wolf
My appreciation for survival was the proof
As I looked at that forest in never to return
I will never forget my roots
My question came to mind in what did I learn?
Devotion and kindness for the woods dedicated
This is my dedicated story being the actual witness
My life was with what it was supposed too be
My own eyes I did see
Thank you Wolves for inviting and enlightening me
The forest taught me always to reflect and come back
My writing showed me, “Imagine That”
This poem is dedicated to all Poet’s and Writer’s all around the world in being a fact
Poet’s Diary full of momentum
Yet active in a writing voice
My tomorrow came quick
This will always stick
Write on and continue to write on.

THROUGH THE ANCIENT YEARS OF ROMAN HERITAGE
A STAND UP ANCIENT ROME WITH DESTINATION FOR VICTORY
WE THE WARRIORS ARE READY TO DO BATTLE
AS WARRIORS, WE ARE TRUE AND STRONG
THE FOES WE DON’T GET ALONG
IT’S FLESH AND BLOOD UNTIL THE VERY END
OUR SHIELDS ARE OUR PROTECTORS
OUR AMMUNITIONS EXTEND OUT BEING OUR REFLECTORS
SO ENEMY BEWARE
ANCIENT ROME IS OUR ENCOURAGEMENT TO STAND, AND BE BRAVE
BEING TOUGH IS HOW WE SURVIVE
OUR KING AND QUEEN REIGN SUPREME
WE ARE SOLDIERS LEAN YET MEAN
OUR KING AND QUEENS OUR LEADERS AND WE FOLLOW
WE ARE DECREED FOR BATTLE
OUR FORTRESS IS GOD ON OUR SIDE
WHAT THE ENEMY THINKS IS INTERNAL, AND WE ATTACK ON EXTERNAL
WE POSSESS DIGNITY AND HONOR IN OUR SOUL
THE SPIRIT OF OUR STRENGTH
IT GOES THROUGHOUT IN GREAT LENGTH
HAIL TO OUR KING AND QUEEN
THE FOES WON’T SEPARATE US IN BETWEEN.

Cigarette smoke with every puff
The thought is enough, enough
Smoking became an addiction
Health surrounding being an addition
You know it’s time to quit
Health conditions shouldn’t be it
I want to be able to breathe in the fresh air
Cigarettes just don’t compare
Now that seems fair
I urge smokers to stop while they have a chance
The more you smoke there is a health decline in advance
Breathe in what you have been missing in everlasting life
Make it your business in stopping to smoke
No, this isn’t a joke
It’s encouraging words being spoke
Now you can smoke away, but that wouldn’t be ok
Quit smoking, but that takes an effort every step of the way
The less you smoke becomes improved health
You don’t need to be like everybody else
It’s clear the air
Fresh air is what I wanted to share.

It was Dr. Martin Luther King’s speech, “I have a dream”

His dream became my destiny in determination

It was let drive help me to follow through

Malcolm X

“By any means necessary”

Where there is determination, a destination must have a departure and arrival

The preparation in being ready to arrive with goals in mind

Medgar Wiley Evers

“You can **** a man, but you can’t **** a dream”

The whole concept is everlasting

You can **** a person, but reality of the dream can live on, and can come to the surface like a boat in a bottle

Dr. Betty Shabazz, Widow of Malcolm X

“I wish you success that equals your talent and determination”

I am an Alumni of CUNY Medgar Evers College, and had the honor and pleasure to have her teachings being one of my many Professors

To me, Talent and Determination must be a balanced scale of parallel in forming one’s true potential

In other words, where talent begins the journey, it’s determination that continues the journey into the everyday life cycle

To sum up entity, Dr. Martin Luther King, Malcolm X, Medgar Evers and Dr. Betty Shabazz all offered me encouragement in achieving in life being their given right

A plight  might be considered a block, the theory is getting pass any boundary no matter what, but with solid thinking in getting around that road block of life

Knowledge is Power

Understanding is Golden

Achieving is Splendor

The Foundation having its own award and accord

Horizons too see, and objectives in sustaining what they should be.

Where the Witch goes the broom follows
Enter the Evil witch
Twitch after twitch
Casting spells
Incantations in change
Flying on her broom
Causing Terror and doom
No sight to see
Take it from me
Evil Witch full of fire
Even the Devil himself has no desire
From the castle of Evergreen Way
One escape running estray
Towns people stay away
The Evil Witch turns people into stone
I had to let it be known
For the Witch, it is just that simple
The reason being she is able
Commotion everywhere
Just “Beware”

Many times you will hear a person say having no name
But saying that I would be lame
In this particular case, it’s a bus with a name but no company name
Got it
Let me move on into more detail
It was the Mack MV620, but where you find a Mack, there is also fact
Greyhound in 1957, they6 were asked to test a new prototype bus that had just came out with the possibility of coming to be part of their bus fleet
How neat
So Greyhound tested the bus, and it didn’t take long for Greyhound to discontinue the test
The test was conducted on a schedule from Chicago to San Francisco
Greyhound did that for a month, and when the test was complete, they gave their analysis
Greyhound had concluded that the bus was neat, but it just didn’t fit in with its current fleet
The front looked like a bus, but the back looked more like a sedan
As an added detail, the restroom is located on the Drivers side way in the back of the bus as composed the restroom conventional now on the right side or door side if you will
That the was the end of where the bus stops here began
But Greyhound Bus Management back then, they didn’t see the Long Range plan of what the Mack MV620 could have become
Imagine, Greyhound being the Nations Leader Transportation Carrier with a new structured bus that no one had ever heard about or seen
Greyhound would have been that company in introducing the bus to America
In fact, the Mack MV620 would have been marketable with the right advertising and the right advising
The Mack MV620 was a model ahead of its time back then
But that is all when
This is now with no win
Now the Mack MV620 is wandering around looking for a final home into where it could roam
Yet, a lot of people still don’t know that the Mack MV620 is still known
Yo Mack, I got your back
This was all a reflection in enlightening the fact

Questions full of doubt
It’s the pass Election concerned about
The President is forced to standalone
Rioters at the Capitol made it full blown
It was an attack on the Capitol with lacked defense
As it stands in past tense
It was multitudes of the President’s supports doing their will
It was a day to Certify the Electoral vote
It was the President suggesting to the world being a revolt
This was serious and wasn’t a joke
It was those fierce words in what the President spoke
Our Democracy had an invade
Darkness having no shade
The President wanted to rearrange the election in his favor
But he loss with no savor
So the President Elect became official
The President is trying to be quiet like a still pickle
His Cabinet mostly resigned
But the President is alone with no having assigned
Even the Vice President and the President don’t communicate
It is all because the President doesn’t appreciate
But now worries are on the Inauguration at the Capitol
Will all authorities be prepared?
The Senate and the House have doubt
But will it be time to work out
The air has light breezes
No one feels at ease
In fact, it is like a tight squeeze
Even the President’s Social Media accounts have been suspended
The President needs to understand in a couple of weeks, his services will no longer be needed.

Through the years
Motion preserver
Knowledge mount
Education reign
On point
Any struggle
The overcome
Wisdom
The Experience
The advice
Through experience
The watch
Just observe
Strength
Outer endurance
Expectancy
Great Things
Faith
The Hope
End result

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.

Before you take that sip
Have I got a tip
You are about to read a different caravan
Ever heard of wine glasses extending from the floor to the height of an average person?
Hold on to your thirst
I witnessed myself when I was on vacation in Tijuana, Mexico
We spent the day in Tijuana on a Gray Line Sightseeing tour starting in San Diego, California where I was staying
As I explored Tijuana moving about, I began to get thirsty, but we were told in San Diego to not drink anything, so we didn’t
The reason, the Tour Company didn’t want us to get Montezuma’s Revenge
As I witnessed Wine Glasses being tall, I had to get close
Within the Café, the Wine glasses were certainly tall with straws to match
No, there is no catch
Yet, I often feared that if those tall wine glasses were bummed into, that would be a definite alcoholic mess with the possibility to a stray animal such as a cat or dog or even an insect that would get drunk
It may sound funny, but is no bunk
To the average person drinking the first couple of sips, I am sure they would be drunk
So Tall Wine Glasses with the feeling of an ever ready
But would feel so what unsteady
Yet wine glasses that stand tall
Drink up for thirst that would establish the pallet for all.

Shocked and devasted
I suffered in a Health Condition and Heaven saw
Uplifted being Heaven’s call
There wasn’t much anybody could do
Heaven was my only pursue
I know on Earth you are heart broken
Don’t be sad
Don’t feel bad
You took excellent care of me well
Pure love and everyone could tell
You couldn’t have done anymore
You did your best and that was for sure
It was my time
Heaven’s schedule
On my journey like a module
I will miss you
Remember me on Earth
No more pain nor suffering again as Heaven is my new birth
Our love was strong
That is how I want you to live along
Bonding in thinking how I gave you inspiration
Remember the voice in my bark
Think of my paw touching your lap
One bark for love
Second bark for thanks
Last bark for everlasting
Love will never be unchanged
It takes time to heal all wounds
It’s not the moment, hour nor second
Taking one day at a time
Let Salem always be in your heart
I want you to be a carefree Dove
That is what you should be thinking of
We will see each other again
Heaven said and knows
That’s a promise
My paw in your hands
My time
No guilt as you took very good care of me
Heaven is where I need to be
Pure Heavenly
Heart to heart
From yesterday to tomorrow
Have no sorrow
Until we acquaint again.

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
