art

Poetry and art go hand in hand; in fact, a poem is just art in the written form.

Ekphrastic 3
The froth lifts our fishing boat's stern to a canopy of charcoal clouds, its bow dipping into a Stygian wedge. The sails tilt into each other, the fissure between them the famished tempest's lopsided palate.

TEMPTED
Can’t be tempted when I’m feeling Low whenever really down…. Need to fight within myself and Get the crown come back around….

HEAVEN & EARTH
SHE was stardust, glowing bright, HE was earth, lost in night. . HER footfalls—music, light and free, HE was stillness, root and tree.

Sanitized
Beauty, once obvious innately Deemed lacking in utility What good’s a vase used only for visibility? Then shattered prejudicially

Strength in Fragility
The sky opens wide, a canvas of shifting hues, Clouds trailing like undone threads across the wind. Beneath, the earth feels soft underfoot,

Roses Are Red
Rich in love Open my heart Send me love notes Elevate my soul Show me you care Abide in my body Restore the spark Earning my trust after breaking through my shell

Love>Light
Love… Is like a blessing from above It’s full of red, blue, and yellow hues. Shifting and shaping into something new. Love is like light

He Speaks
He Sounds The Drums, Strumming To The Beat Of His Angst… Amongst The Anxiety His Reality Raps An Unfamiliar Tune. He Speaks With All Caps,

Growing up in the South Side of Chicago, often referred to as "Bronzeville," Brooks was deeply influenced by the vibrant Black community around her. The challenges and triumphs of urban Black life would later become central themes in her poetry.

Dear, Patrick Mahomes JR
Humans love to see you win… Humans hate to see you win too much— Patrick Mahomes Jr. is one of the greatest football players actively playing and will arguably go down as one of the greatest football players ever, with many sports enthusiasts already giving him the nickname "baby GOAT" (greatest of all time). At the young age of 29 years old, what he has accomplished is almost unreal. Patrick joined the Kansas City Chiefs in 2017 and has been their starter since 2018. Since becoming their starter, he has been in 7 consecutive—yes, I said it—consecutive AFC Championship game appearances. He is a two-time league MVP, a three-time Super Bowl MVP, and he has been in 5 Super Bowl appearances, with his most recent one upcoming as he faces the Philadelphia Eagles. He has 3 Super Bowl rings (2020, 2023, 2024), and if he wins this year, he will do something that has never been done in the NFL: a three-peat of championship rings. Sounds unreal, doesn’t it? But it’s real.
