Good afternoon everyone... I am so honored to be able to introduce a few new poets. I do want to encourage all to join our small poetic community over at the poetry board... It would be nice to see some new faces around there... On that note, first there is my dear friend KRK... You will see why I feel this talented poetess should look into publishing a poetry book, as her poetry shall touch you dearly; Him, FEAR!, MS. PMS, I Miss You!, GOODBYE!, Forbidden Fruit, THE DRUG USER, The Breaking Point, THE DRUG DEALER, WHEN IS ENOUGH ENOUGH?, Should I Give Up or Do I Endure?, and The Ending of a Life Never Started... Also, there is Anesa Laneigh, who is a first timer, so do enjoy absorbing her flow literally; Self, Connections...Tag, Shades of Emotion, Tears From My Nile, A Legacy CONTINUES..., When The Kiss Changed, and Declaration of Strength (My Only)... Can't forget about the young talented lady Crystal Holmes, as it warms my heart seeing the hip hop generation embracing poetry; Struggling, The Way I Feel, Life in the Poor Lane, Without you I'm like..., I Held You in my Arms, and My Smile is Losing Weight... Not to be outdone, we have Hebert Logerie, as I'm delighted to see my fellow brothers getting into this art-form; as more need to exercise thy mind; Discrete Love, I am a rhymer, Modern racism, Why cry foul now?, Missing You Tonight, and Man proposes, God disposes…... Straight out the motherland lawore ibukun abraham has some pieces for one to view; TRAVAILS, SEPTEMBER 11, THE NIGHT MOON, WAKE UP AFRICA, and AFRICA MY AFRICA… To my African siblings continue to let the ink flow....

Patiently awaiting her turn is Capria Pearce who has submitted a few poems, so here you go; Fear, I Write, Chapter 1, My Black Man, and Take me as I am... Loving Mom Kizze' Harris has time to still write which lets one know that one's passion for this art form shall not go unnoticed; Worry man, My daughter, Moving Close, Mary-go-round, and Use love as a Weapon... My poetic sista Talisha Brittingham is also joining the crowd so just relax while intaking her words; P.s., Trendy, Simple, Tomorrow, and Beautiful People.... Back again UK based poetess Otatade Iseghohi Okojie has supplied me with more of her work; PAIN, Shit in air, Teachers Pet., Pie and Cheesecake, and Sun gal (For Otatade)... Yes, indeed poetry is world wide... Brother Orlando S. Boykin returns also as I do wish such a gifted writer could be read over by the young brothers who at this time need guidance; 5 Minutes, Mean What, Choice of Consequence, Hot Mama Cool Papa Down, and Locked Down In The Lock-up... Another African poet ndim bernard ngouche has sent some poetry our way, as do remember there is a poet within each one of us; Dear sir, A rebirth, In the wild, Letters to Agnes, and Promises of our Leaders... We are not done yet, so let it be known sister Inesheia Holiday has a way with words, so see for yourself; YOU, Spittin', Grocery store, Can I Buy a vowel?, and Curse of a Black Woman... Oh, how there is one more poet and she goes by the pen-name Nubianpoet... So feel free to take the time to read over the following pieces; Misty Blue, Crossroads, House Vs Field, There Is A River, Stormy Weather, and Happy To Be Nappy...

By the way, sorry about the long hiatus but a brother is just living life... I shall try to start updating the site on a monthly basis again while allowing such talented poets to shine literally... So go ahead and submit your poetry... Also, like I stated earlier you may also visit our poetry board and have a little fun while interacting with your fellow poets... Have a nice day...
