Rivers
Old Daddy D said,
Our people love the rivers
Told me the moving blue
Runs through our souls and veins
Old Daddy D said,
The rivers makes way for our tears
Told me if it weren’t for them
We’d have drowned in our own despair
Old Daddy D said,
Our freedom tunes bounced along the currents
Told me we named the blues
From the big blue Mississippi
Old Daddy D said,
The rivers gave birth to us
Told me before we rode lamas amongst the Sahara
We swam with fierce crocs on the Nile

Before I began writing, I was someone other than myself. Writing is my way to be me and put my world in words. Through this site, I hope that I can grow as a writer and hopefully be known in the writing community one day. That said, if you like my writing please share my work and help me out, thank you! Also, if you ever want to contact me, my email is [email protected]. Don’t be shy, email me; tell me something about one of my poems, maybe tell me your favorite one or least favorite, anything!! I want to improve as a writer so I love all constructive criticism and compliments too of course. Have a good day!
