3903 Herron Avenue

Earle Francis Brown

Grayer was them olden days;
the clouds came with frequent rain,
 the sun, baffled,
bulwarked by the hanging drab.
I’m open now;
parading guts, long misplaced.
The dread brewed
beneath my skin.
The rain beating on my casing
fashioned a duskier gray;
the clatter is sickening.
My mind streamed brown
like the Ohio River,
flung against contemplations, then crashed.
Yesteryear was more severe;
I’m twisted to fit these cracks,
but I’m geared up to go.
Let me rest my weary bones;
let me die now,
if this is it.

Earle Francis Brown

I was born in Montego Bay, Jamaica. I was told that I can write, so I wrote and continues to write. I am currently living in Cincinnati, Ohio, USA. I enjoy reading "real" poetry. My favorite books are the Pslams, Proverbs and Songs of Solomon.Poetry is not just vocabulary, and use of metaphors and formats. Don't be tricked. Poetry should speak life. I love a poem that tells a story. The most memorable poems are the ones that tell someone's story. I don't care about ratings; the truth is always hated. People are people where-ever we go. more…
