My home is a nest,
Nestled high in the cliff's stone,
Haphazardly built, but strong
Comfortable and weathered,
Overlooking the canyon deep.
My home is a penthouse suite,
Adorned in modern finery,
Plush couches and designer art--
Beautiful and luxurious,
Overlooking the hustle of the city street.
My home is a hut,
At one with nature's surround,
Roughed in the coming winds,
Plain and simple,
Overlooking nature's calm retreat.
Children are the Future
Legends of Africa
One thing I've noticed during my years attending predominately white schools and having circles of friends that are more diverse, is that the major factor in racism and prejudice is ignorance. There is a lot about black culture that many non-blacks just don't know. Often this lack of awareness rears its head in the form of ignorant assumptions and awkward questions. The Legends of Africa series touches on topics that may be extremely familiar to blacks, but may not be familiar to non-blacks.

I love to write. Sometimes its graceful and classic--like a trapeze act--or bold and brave--like a lion tamer--perhaps a little humorous--like a clown. This is my circus of words.
Right now, my blog is mostly poetry (which naturally covers a wide range of topics). Everyone says great blogs have a niche, a specific topic they hone in to write about. I'm still working that out, I guess. In the mean time, you can use the menu in archive page to narrow down the topics you wish to see.
Welcome to the site. Feel free to comment and I hope you enjoy.
