Graffiti Bleu… Poets are smart enough to locate seeds of inspiration/ wise enough to prepare those seeds for cultivation/ clever enough to harvest the words/ seasoned enough to roll up the herbs/ and blow smoke into metaphors, pronouns and verbs/ haiku’s and testimonies/ shadowboxing with soliloquies/ stanzas, novels and sweet melodies/ Earth is the poet’s mother and we […]
