. . . . THE . . . .
I am a Native, and Current Resident, of San Francisco (Fillmore District), CA, in Nineteen Hundred and Forty-Six. I refer to myself as "The Poet" , for a couple of reasons. First, I've been writing poetry since High School (and began writing lyrics, a few years later). Second, it was a name that I had given to someone who I admired as a teenager, and still have great respect for today (and the mastery that he displays when performing his craft), and have now decided to use it as my own. I made the decision, because I no longer just simply say, that "I write poetry", but I believe that I've matured to a level, where I have also earned the title of Poet. The person I am referring to is the velvet voiced, Mr. Wm. "Smokey" Robinson , , formerly of "The Miracles", and whose written, as well as his song, sung words, were (and still are today) truly poetic. (I referred to that other Bad Brother, Mr. Curtis Mayfield - who was once The Lead Singer of the "Impressions" - as, "The Story Teller"). The poem below, is one that I wrote in about 1986, and have kept it since then, modifying it several times, as a way of keeping it alive. It also represents a time, when I matured a step, in my writing: "BEAUTY" ..... Beauty is a wonder, and a treasure to the sight.. Like a gem, or a rose, or the moon on a warm Summer Night... Like the Grace of a Dancer, or the Glow of a Smile .. Or the Voice of a Singtress, or a Singer, or a Child ... Beauty, it is Love, it is Rich, it is Ease.. It is Fun, it is Sunshine, it's the Feeling when you're pleased ... You could visit the world, in many-a-places, like India, Africa, Europe, Asia or Haiti .. And you'll never find, a Treasure more Rich, with Beauty, than that of a Lady ..... © by Ernest J. Mims, Sr...1986Myspace Generators
