2007 - PRESENTPoems Submitted by Our Readers
Edited by jaFa (James Fair)JAFA’S POETRY CORNER(NOW IN ITS 8TH YEAR)May the Muse of Poetry continue to inspire.
AGED FINE WINE... Or... OLD CHEESE BIRTHDAY...Author: bobbyjoemackMount Vernon resident
Getting Old Is really not so bad There’s no need To start feeling so Sad
The Creeks the Cracks The aches in the Back The Quickly lost thoughts Those blanks in Time
The thought of you Going out of your Mind
Just makes you wanna know How much longer can you Go As you move around now So very...Very slow Because with each new day That you do arise You are greeted with A brand New surprise
The Dings the Dangs And the constant Pangs Just something more For you to Endure And just something else That makes you SoreAs you wonder to yourself Can you take anymore
But then Alas Those aches and pains Eventually slowly subsideAnd that is when You thank your God For just being Alive Knowing that at least You can still Open up Your once closed eyes
As you live To see Another Birthday
Despite all the aches And all of the Pains Felt along the way…
THE LOST CITY OF HARLEM... Or...THE Manhattan PROJECT...Author: bobbyjoemackMount Vernon resident
The White faces The Yellow faces The Light Red faces Out numbering The Now so few Poor BLACK Faces
Those Beautiful Black-Faces Sprinkles now consumed By the many new Colored faces Once the Majority Now the minority Subjugated once again Overcome by The Demand For their land And pushed aside While trying to Survive Dispossessed once again
O’ Land... Land O’ where is their land?And where will they Now call their Home?And where is Their 40 Acres... And a mule?
For the Old Black Harlem life Still pumps in their Blood And it is Boiling Furiously
That is Gentrifying
The Back Faces Are Disappearing so rapidly And are Never to be returned Home The Back shades And the Back shadows Of the Old Black Harlem once Known Are Disappearing Rapidly From my Mind and Black Soul With a Loud Groan... and Saddened moan...
TO OUR READERS & SUPPORTERSFrom the editor: james “jAFa” Fair
This year JAFa’s Poets Corner celebrates its 8th year. We are still the longest, continuously, running poetry column in any local area monthly publication. We have reached this milestone because of you, the community, who have
so generously supported us. THANK YOU!
