I have been a poet for as long as I can remember. I find inspiration in the journeys of my fellow Jamaicans such as Bob Marley, Louise Bennet Coverly(miss lou), Marcus Garvey among others who have utilized language to connect on a universal level with individuals across time and space.Poetry is my humble attempt to follow in the footsteps of these eminent figures. I have several published works and have won editor's choice awards from the International library of Poetry in 2004 and 2007. I have also performed in a number of poetry "open mics" in Toronto. When i am not writing, reading or performing I enjoy the natural poetry of life

don’t cry for me
instead have hope

that you affect our lives positively, everyday
It is your way

truth is nothing but a brick wall
lies shine and deceive the eyes

they have no tears
and they are not scared

everything devolves to its base elements
there is no ryhme or reason

tearing the blood-red skin off a palm seed
just then a blue "Cling-Cling" looked in, intrigued
... continued
to the old lion, Madiba
oh how his eyes still shine
... continued
mouthing off in broken english
to a stealthy Blackbird
