When I travel overseas
Call me international dollar
Accepted everywhere, across hemispheres
Grad school scholar
Verbally poetic
Spiritually prophetic
Caribbean immigrant
Kingdom citizen.
Travel this globe
In hopes of finding poetry
Spewing from native tongues
With a loud voice
Carried by a deep breath
Pushed forth by strong lungs.
This poetry is known for
Invoking emotion and
Stirring up comotion
Propelling your highs
Soothing your lows.
If you think you've reached your peak,
Wait until you hear that next poet speak
It'll light a fire under your feet
like hot concrete.
Everyone has a story to tell
and poetry does it well.
What's your story?

The following blog updates inlcude poetry selections from my forthcoming poetry book, "My Life in Verse". This first book is meant to be a collection of short stories in the form of poetry that encompass the many experiences that have made up my life thus far. It is a literary expression of who I am, Stephen Edward.
