Black is Brown is Tan
Is girl is boy
Is nose is face
Is all the colors
Of the race
Is dark is light
Singing songs
Is singing night
Kiss big woman hug big man
black is brown is tan…
Arnold Adoff
The Gambling of Wiles
Played in the day and the night holds unspoken
Or…Love is not made nor ever lost
For marriage is the greatest institution
And rituals value no cost
Eric Hall
Red is Blue
A friend in heaven is a friend in hell
Possession of whom art I tell
Where evilives I dwell
Living in heaven and dying in hell
Possession of whom art I tell…

O Degrees
Like winters night and summer days
Dismal fights and sudden craze are the haunts that amaze
When taken by chance that harmful faze
Awaken to romance, see winters daze…
Eric Hall
Mornings bring
both hope
and curses
God makes
light,
and I make
verses…
NEW DAY …N.M. Bodecker
Out in the dark and daylight
Out in the dark and daylight, under a cloud or tree
Out in the park and play light, out where the winds blow free
Out in the March or May light,
Out in the dark and daylight thats where I like to be…
Aileen Fisher
Stood Up
By all means pardoned to and from
Seldom seen romance, count one by one
Shadowless foot steps, secrets good and kept
Opened and closed doors, bottomless floors
And a reputation for higher
Stood for lust like desperate nood desire
Overlooked by trust, hesitant rude aspire…
No…
Eric L. Hall
Blue Hate
Alaways a Heathen
Doth compromise in treason
Never, never chances of pomp to believe in
To chant or deny, hellraisers that cry
Harmony in score, voices syncronized…
Eric Hall
I Am Mad Hard
I am mad hard
You are mad important
You are mad in charge
I am mad important
I am mad in charge
I am mad important
I am mad hard…
Eric Hall
