POET

POET

A gifted poet, he was every inch the artist.

At age fourteen he was lauded for his first poem.

Alexander’s temperament did not always serve

him well. He was quarrelsome and

uneasy from deep within. His lineage was abrupt

and well ensconced in the unknown

and this bothered him deeply.

MAYA ANGELOU

image

At the ripe old age of 86 she lived a really full life

that spanned from the bottom of the bottom

to an awesome Rise.

Now she will be talking with God face to face.

Those are going to be some well attended conversations.

Probably have all present hanging on her every word.

Poet
Writer
Actress
Producer
Teacher
Storyteller

Accomplishments too numerous to mention

Expert at grabbing life by the tail and hanging on for the ride

Expert at making some ‘kick a**’ lemonade when life handed you lemons.

I am glad I got to know you.
You will be missed.

FIRST

my first moon shot

FIRST

At their first encounter, she just stared at him
She spoke, no words come out.
He smiled. Oh my! That smile!
She looked behind her to see
who he was smiling at. There was
no one there. Her face got hot.
He chuckled. His eyes found hers
And stayed there.
