About Me

My photo
Poet, producer, spoken word and visual artist. Co-founded the lyrical music ensemble COPUS. My love of the sheer beauty of poetry took hold when I was in high school. Soon after I heard an album by the legendary "Last Poets". Later I Began writing and reciting poetry at cafes and upon various stages after taking a college course called "Poetry For The People". At a party one evening I did a spontaneous collaboration of one of my poems with a concert pianist named Michael Feinstein. The beauty of it put me on a quest to find a composer who would work together with me writing music for my words and my flow. Some six years later I met a most prolific composer and pianist, Wendy Loomis. COPUS is the result of our collaboration for over fifteen years now. COPUS is an acronym for 'Creation Of Peace Under Stars'. That's how we roll. Under the peace, love, harmony banner. I hope you'll take some of each with you on your journey and from this blog. Bless.

Haves And Have Nots



The Haves Have
The Have Nots In A Knot
The Haves Have
The Have Nots In A Rot

Have You Any Idea
Just Who And What Created
This Plot
For The Haves Have All
While All Others
Have Naught

The Haves Have
The Have Nots By The Crotch
The Haves Rule The World
By The Clock

The Haves Have 
The Haves Nots Acting
Like Robots
Have You Any Thoughts

For The Haves Have All
While All Others 
Have Naught

There Is One Thing That
I Nearly Forgot
The Have Nots Have
That Which For Centuries The
Haves Have Sought

Strength Which Is Greater Than
Strength Itself
Beauty Which Cannot Be Duplicated
Nor Destroyed

And The Will To Endure
Even Unto
The Very End
