When I smell cologne I think of my dad It brings back memories. He used to put cologne on before going out with my mom. They liked to go to fancy restaurants. He loved to smell good wherever he went. Going to a party Award ceremonies A friend’s house. And when we went out together He put cologne on me too I liked smelling good, like my dad.
The Eclipse, by Amanda M. The eclipse is showing the darkness in the world and bringing in the brightness. Show us not to be afraid of anything. The world has faced it all. Afterward we see the positive side of things. So people can realize, That the world can give in return
Words in the fire, by Noemi U. I don’t want people to see my writing because when people see my writing I get nervous. I throw away the words I don’t like anymore. The fire makes me warm.
I am no longer Enslaved, by Christian B. I am not a slave. I am no longer being a slave. I am free spirited throughout the whole world. Picture the color of the rainbow. See me turned down and turned up. Without a poison arrow. I am free spirited. Without the birdcage. Without falling on the bridge. My spirit lives on. My soul keeps going. I will not be turned to stone.
Misfit, by Anthony N. Sometimes when I feel that I don’t fit in when I don’t experience a sense of inner peace. It’s loneliness. I never belong to one group culturally. I went to the Bahamas. I am American born of West African descent. I feel that this was culturally experiencing a part of the great spectrum of the West Pan-African cultural mosaic. I am devotedly happy to being an American. But I understand it from my own point of view.
Is this a poem? By Poets of course: Is this a poem or a “disabled” poem? Am I a dancer, or a “client” dancing? I am pigeon-holed by your shorter expectations. Qualified. Contextualized. An artist with a disability. And an artist. Not special. Just a person whose individuality and wholeness is lost. We are who we are. We be who we be. Disabled being, Existing, This IS a poem.
