A speeding star or spaceship, no it’s SUPERMAN
Only a bat can tell who knows and sees, but as a caped crusader, one can feel the breeze being BATMAN
The Legend Of Justice, but the dialog being doom
A fight to the finish
But who will be victorious and distinguished
Both knowing good from wrong
A part where Evil doesn’t belong
Saving lives and combating crime for as long
Yet a fight that will go on
Ethnics where credit is due
But what challenger will come through?
The sun has turned completely red
The moon has turned a shaded black
The moment being the attack
But the innocent need to just stand back
Blows into throws
Imaginations drawing conclusions
A fight that might be long
A thought, what Marvel Hero should belong?
A past being a comic book
It was a boy’s look
One Marvel Hero fell
But I won’t tell
See the Movie for your own swell.

Hopped on a Greyhound bus
Changing new surroundings was a must
The Greyhound bus was its exhaust and us
The bus changed highways to a dusty road
To my surprise, the open space in behold
Dust was flying all over the place
Our picture view windows casted scenery of erase
Nonetheless moving from the town from within
This will be a new start from then
The Greyhound dog is all stretched out wide
It’s me in the Greyhound bus with no where to hide
Looking forward to9 arriving at my destination stop
It is only second with a mire hop
The dust that is behind is known as dust
It’s nighttime so headlights are a must
The dirt road with my stop around the bend
Later my trip will finally come to an end.

SANTA IS COMING TO DINNER

My wife told me she invited Santa to dinner
But it is not Christmas and this is summer, but should I let him enter?
What shall we serve?
Should it be potluck at the last minute and is this what Santa deserves?
However, Santa will bring his reindeer troop
They are big enough to be their own group
The meal must be done right
The stars are giving the wink in get cracking tonight
Otherwise when Christmas finally comes, my house could become a drive over by
Then my Children will start to cry
Every effort on my part being a try
Santa’s ** ** ** will be an affirmative NO
Then I will respond with SO
I need someone to feel me on this
Because my Wife may not give me a kiss
I can only image Santa passing my house for the first time
All of the coal that would be mine
Now I guess I could serve some nice champagne
But if Santa gets drunk, guess who will be the blame?
I can just see the Headline, ”Santa gets a ticket for being drunk”
All the children around the world would a lot of bunk
Well Santa has the invite
Now as the Host, I must be polite
Otherwise, it will be a guest of probably might
But for now I extend my Good Night.

WHAT IS IT ABOUT POETRY?
preservationman Aug 2016
The wizardry in how the Poet opens your mind
A destiny in having a quest with reader following
Now that I got your attention, let’s go deeper into the subject
Into an unknown horizon
The journey accelerating in go
But let’s take a moment, and concentrate Slow
Close your eyes and let your mind wonder beyond
But remember, Poetry has a lot to look upon
Imagine waking up from a yond, and an idea popped into your head
You started writing something even while you were in bed
It was a time when you wrote about yourself
The Poet is actually illustrating the inner self
Poetry comes as the theory of capable
Then inspiration showing able
Poetry then surprises he or herself
This is what Poetry is all about
A Poet being a motivator in encouraging your day
There’s a left and a right, so the Poet leads the way
Poet provides that it’s ok in not knowing how to write
This goes further than you think in a Poet just being polite
It’s about having enthusiasm and having joy in excite
Poetry brings the emotion and helping the reader arrive at dramatics
Applying simple terms and reader achieving understanding
Destination words with the arrival in conclude
It’s like a night moon and the feeling in relaxed as you are in a calm soothe
Poetry has everything to prove as it sets the mood and the moment from where you stood.

Sound familiar?
It’s an announcement often made by Greyhound
Destinations can be anywhere across the country
Stops in between
Sometimes passengers can be mean
Then there is others who just want to make a scene
But travel in taking the bus at holiday time
Friends you make as you ride
Recline in the seat and take in the stride
The thought of arriving at any destination all doing while
The Family Get together
It doesn’t matter what the weather
Every Thanksgiving all having smiles
Leftover Thanksgiving meal that could last a month
You stuffed beyond end
The thought of a diet that might have to begin
It’s always Greyhound bringing me closer to my family
A road that connects family relationships
The vision of Thanksgiving throughout the trip
My hat off to the Greyhound way
Singing Gooble Gooble all I can say.

The wheel that was spinning for miles
All this happened all awhile
The wheel just kept on rolling
It was like the wheel was patrolling
It was over hills and determined wills
The wheel spinning all around
Destination in becoming being bound
The wheel could be heard tire marks sound
Yet the turning of the wheel seems like life’s expansion
The wheel’s movement in arriving in knowing where to be
The vision in being in sight for all to see
The wheel in having a trail in where it has been
When the wheel comes to a stop, it will be at an end.

You asked and the question is why?
Failure had come into my mind
But revelation became a solid boundary
However I hadn’t failed but fast forward caught me by surprise
Sometimes one must realize

Fast forward in being like a river stream

Then had a summer home in Paris, France by a swan lake

I would often sail on my yacht in some summers in the Hamptons on Long Island
It then would be travelling on my private jet and head over to Los Angeles to venture on Catalina Island
I would be lying on the beach getting a deep dark tan

This was all in my memory to keep
At least I can dream

This is New York City you just never know
The vision of a star
The Wise men who travelled far
Unity being a community
Christmas being truly in what you see
A little baby Jesus was a male being he
It’s was a rememorable night
In fact it was silent and no situation of plight
All the stars are shining bright
There’s Rudolf with his nose being a headlight
Oh look a dream did come true
The snow is falling
Well I have no time for stalling
Let’s throw snowballs and see who will fall
A Snowman stands and he is tall
Frosty is his name
A snowman loves to play a game
He’s decked out all in Christmas snow
Frosty moves along with the flow
Well I am starting to yond
This was a story I am very fond
I am falling asleep for sure
Yet my heart is full of joy all in galore
As I lay my head down
I am asleep across town
I will wake up Christmas morning bound
Full of praises will be the sound.

SUMMER BOUNCE
preservationman Aug 2016
Anticipation of summer fun
August still runs so summer is almost done
Spending time with friends and family in being among
Even with that summer is still not done
Summer means a break from school
Having fun and acting a fool
Letting my feet breathe on the beach sand
Soaking up the sun in my own adventure land
My summer is accelerating like a Disney World ride
Thrills with taking in the sights
Oh yes, I still must be polite
This is summer and having no stress to be uptight
My summer gave me a reason to smile
Despite all the summer showers, I still enjoyed during while
I wish summer could last forever
But seasons do change
It’s the flow being the arrange
This was truly a summer, which I will never forget
Summer will soon depart, and with that being my only regret
I will not take a summer bet
Soak up all the sun while I can get
Thanks for all your warmth
The sun I will continue to take until summer’s end
I guess you could say, I found summer to be my best friend
With that, we have come to the end.

A dog was sitting on a sandy beach shore
A seal peeked out of the water in explore
The dog seemed alone with a thought on no friends
The seal began to come ashore and the dog know the seal would be the new friendship in begin
The seal moved on the beach to get near the dog
As the seal got closer, he began to put his hand fends over the dog
It was almost like the seal being an Angel encouraging the dog
The dog seemed happy and remained still
The dog being obedient within its own will
The seal wanted the dog to know no matter, I live in water and you on land, we are all friends in God’s command
The seal knew where to start
It was the dog’s heart being the spark
It was the assurance the dog needed that he always had a friend, but it was a matter of who and when
The story around a dog and a seal in the end
Now a dog and seal in a new fond friendship in which to begin.

A MOTHER ONLY KNEW
preservationman Mar 2014
A Mother who lived to be 92
She lived her life in scores of 2
Old age has taken its mount
When it comes to years, you could barely count
It was the vision of the Mother I am going home
It will be Heaven where I will roam
The Heavenly gates have opened for me
Mother repeated, Heaven, I am just so anxious to see
An Angel entered the Mother’s room
The Mother was told her hour would be soon
As the clock ticked and Death became quick
The Angel simply said, “Come and follow me”
The Mother’s spirit rose and obeyed the Angel
A lifeless body laid for all to remember
A Mother’s remembrance
Remember me being more than a Mother
Don’t think of me in being just another
Think of me in my smiles and how I stayed awhile
However, it was Grace and that’s God’s style
My life is how I lived
My appreciation in my heart in giving
My left legacy, “Live not to our own understanding, but live where you accept being learned”
Wisdom comes a long way
It will carry you for as long as you want it to stay
Today I leave you, but you are in good hands
It’s the Lord who watches throughout the land
I am on a journey to awaken on a new beginning
Don’t weep and don’t cry for me
Make me proud and be strong for all to see
Your Mother says not good-bye, but we will see each again being eye to eye.
A MOTHER'S LOVE WHO WENT HOME TO HEAVEN LIKE A DOVE

A CHILD’S WONDER

A Christmas tree in a child’s eyes
The wonder of snow
A child’s thinking on when will Santa show?
A child who will be asleep
A prayer in my soul to keep
It will later be Santa’s surprise ride
The child asleep being their own stride
Then gifts will be under the tree
It will be Christmas morning in opening gifts for all too see
Then Santa will take off swiftly into the night
Then Santa will suddenly vanish out of sight
A remembrance being of a glimpse of a Christmas star
Christ’s birth being ever so far
A fond Christmas tell
The heart moving tail to sell
Good night everyone and it has been swell.

Determined to succeed, and not setting for negative words
She was destined that her acting ability would be heard
I remember when Ms. Tyson played the role of Jane Pittman on TV of “The Autobiography of Ms. Jane Pittman”
She played the role superbly and her dramatics being an encore in greatness

A POET’S TRANSITION
preservationman Nov 2015
My voice went from write to rhyme
My pen from letters into words
A freedom of formation in wanting to be heard
When others told me my writing needs to stop
I am busy now so please just knock
Enter in if you mean good
If you can’t then be still as I have a writing will
People tried hard to put my writing down
But my determined desire continued in me being around
Constant attempts in efforts for me to fail
Through the skies of inspiration, this is how I prevailed
My writing being a gift sent from above
It’s the poetry swing with everything to think of
I am exercising my Freedom of speech
It’s the entire world I am trying to reach
Write on and calm down
A Poet’s destination is an ongoing bound
We learn to adapt
We are creative in a snap
Yes I have transcended from a writer and advanced to Poet
My words establishing from my mind being a still well
But as a Poet I have triumphed in gaining experience in tell
Words that don’t wait nor hesitate
But one thing that is sure, I always participate
A Poet of me being reality in which you see
The mission being Poetry being everything it should be
Take a poetry ride with me and you will see
The sunrise is your wake up call
A call to write
Influence to excite
Poetry stands alone
As a Poet, I had to let it be known
Now you know, poetry is full blown.

A woman not known in fame
But as I go further I will explain
But to start off, the memory of Irene Rubinson that will remain
Her job involving a publishing house
Ms. Rubinson smiled through her daily pain
Yet it was her courage that will remain

Ms. Irene Rubinson’s battle with Cancer
She worked up until the very end
As I worked with her, she seemed to bring a certain happy blend
Her sunrise of remember me
It was her smile for all to see
Darkness being a moment
A seat sits with no one present
Ms. Rubinson’s legacy, “Through the struggle’s, you will preserver”
But deep in her heart, Ms Rubinson knew her finale was coming near
Ms. Rubinson’s motto, “Is have no fear”
Live your life as much as you can
This was Ms. Rubinson’s journey for all the remember
This also includes as you slumber
Tomorrow has awaken with sorrow
But Ms. Rubinson was her own morrow

I will never forget that day she interviewed me in 1981 and gave me a chance
I learned the publishing house with knowledge in advance
My eyes see the vision she saw
Ms. Rubinson gave me inspiration to explore and take my career and just soar
But it was her personality in thank you to all
But she answered to Heaven’s call
It has been 33 years of how long she has been dead
Yet it was her encouragement that helped me to stride
Ms. Rubinson’s life she lived well
But it was inspiration what makes my heart swell
This is her story and I am the narrator in tell

Irene Rubinson, the memory of your personality through and through
But those reading this have no clue
The many rains, snow and season changes
One thing that will never change will be the remembrance of her personality
A heart that knows with understanding that shows
One whisper in sleep on, but your aspirations that stands with Heaven’s reward in where you belong.

Well I was on my way on vacation
We departed from New York at One PM
Through the tunnel and rails we went
I am definitely on my journey being heaven sent
It will be an overnight ride
Arriving in my destination of Atlanta being my stride
Before we get there
There is some time to spare
As the night lights were out on the train
Something happened and let me explain
The Amtrak Conductor rushed through the train
Suddenly the Engineer applied the brakes
My response was “Oh for goodness sakes”
Apparently someone was trying to jump off the moving train in suicide
This was hard to put aside
The passenger was taken off because he didn’t abide
Death that could have been in a passenger’s try
Well the train proceeded on and the night seemed very long
We arrived in Atlanta On Time, and the exploration was mine.

The who’s who guest list that was suave
There party that wasn’t odd
However an invited guest who would make their move
Everyone was dancing and sipping on some wine
But there was plenty of food to dine
Suddenly without warning, a gun shoot ran out
There was plenty of commotion and shouts
The owner of the mansion being Samuel Xavier who had just been killed
Mr. Samuel Xavier was a very wealthy elegant fashion mogul, but the consequence was more of a movie still
The reason the mogul was killed is still not clear
However the killer could very well still be near
The rumor has it Mr. Xavier was in a heated argument prior before the party had begun
Mr. Xavier’s business partner, Jason Bean wanted more than be just a partner, it was possession
No one knows what will happen now to the empire
Someone on the surface has plenty of desire
The Police are searching and the killer will be found
But for now don’t utter any sound
You could be guilty in being on the investigation round

My Raps are positive messages to the youth
Don’t do crimes because of the anger you feel
A Jail cell is not theater, but the outcome is for real
Education is what gives you knowledge
Establishment is a privilege
Don’t rap because you think this is what you want to pursue
But you want a lifetime career
There are other occupations that will help you preserver
Entertainment and Rap is only short term
It’s true commitment in occupations in how you will earn
******* Rap is not a route you to take

Encouragement to your fellow youth

It’s wisdom that makes you wise

YOU HAVE POTENTIAL REALLY?

Not a Pinocchio Geico commercial phrase
But a look at your own potential amaze
Everyone has some sort of potential
But it is up to you too discover what makes it substantial
You must know within yourself what potential you actually have
Perhaps you are your own motivational speaker
Encouraging others in how you found your potential
Potential is something that is highly developed or talent you possess being a gift
Catch my drift?
You achieved within your own tack
Knowledge and training works hand in hand
You will then become a commodity in demand
Maybe you are gifted in creating things
A patent bringing you bling
Potential can be your creative hands in construction
So potential gets around
Your perfection being the sound
You are the key to your own potential craftsmanship
I mean serious multitude talent and it was me that gave you the tip
Potential in many directions and you being the indication

This was the advice my Grandmother would often say
The thought still stays
When my Grandmother would say that statement being the title, I had to search deep and try and understand
But the deeper I thought the more complex the understanding became
Now I don’t want to sound lame
Yet careful analysis certainly being the aim
In order to overcame a struggling barrier sometimes it requires to give in and just move on
It means stepping out on Faith and being guided beyond losing, but throughout there will be a gain in win
Questions arise in determination of when?
It all depends on that situation at that moment or second
But it is understanding that one will have to reckon
“Sometimes you have to lose in order to win” statement seems to surround a defeat and win being the overcome
Defeat seems to be a focus, but at the end a gain of satisfaction
Sometimes a struggle can be overbearing and a person just can’t take it anymore, and have no other alternatives but to either move on or stay in
To win is do what’s best for the individual to maintain your self-control
Again, it’s step out on Faith and watch the turnaround in behold
There is a belief referring to believe in being confident
Once the believe has taken place
Lose to win becomes established being the trace
So my Grandmother had the right idea, it was wisdom sustaining in assuring the understanding
Since I have gotten more aware the title statement is my beyond compare
It is helpful and I wanted to share
Remember, it is assurance one will overcome, but there is sacrifice at the beginning, but sacrifice is the opportunity in learning to winning.

That is the reason that there is a lesson plan
The lesson plan must be complex in order to test students to use their analytical minds
It’s the criteria of curriculum
Succeed by knowing and efforts in doing
Knowledge being the upward direction
Yet a lesson plan must be on target
It’s the responsibility of any educator to have subject matter down pack

Nothing of the lesson should lack:
A. UNDERSTAND
B. GRASP THE CONCEPTS
C. ANALYTICAL
D. PROBABLY WITH DEFINED POSSIBILITIES
E. PRINCIPLES

The night headlight flashes on and off
The Greyhound bus greeting other drivers as they pass by
America just waves and the hound knows how to behave

I remember at CUNY Medgar Evers College, Ms. Morrison came to speak about her Novel, “TAR BABY”
I thought, distinction
Author, Philosopher and Motivator all rolled into one Toni Morrison
Endless writing days and nights
Ms. Morrison’s life filled with words
Stories to tell
Her stories hit home like a ringing of the bell
Throughout her stories were assertions of her beginnings
Her own words with a devoted mind
Ms. Morrison a commodity at will
But there’s more to Toni Morrison even still
She was as Philosopher within
Her words of inspiration sounding like musical instruments with a device tempo
Taking only brief pauses in making sure her words were actually being taken in
As a Novelist, Ms. Toni Morrison strived
She lived her dream to write
Ms. Toni Morrison creativity was like a river turning into a rushing flowing stream
It was her freshness having golden delight to intrigue
But it was Toni Morrison’s determination that told her to proceed
Ms. Morrison labored what she enjoyed and that was entertaining people through her writing and encouragement
Ms. Toni Morrison’s name will never be taken away
She is in Heaven and is simply ok
Until we meet again on the other side
Let my books and words continue to inspire
When questions are in doubt about you
Did you see what I have accomplished?
When answers become uncertain?
I am a believer in hope and my hope comes from a higher authority
Toni Morrison answered that call
Her legacy has been established for all.
