wrong


The definition of a fairweather friend: A friend who is only nice to you when it's convenient....


hey alieux, my friend;

(don’t expect
to have been invited
to the engagement party or the wedding
or any other past social events I might hold
or even future ones
but )
you’re a strong black man
and I need you.

to help move furniture tomorrow.
I won’t even call you to ask.
(I would feel awkward
asking you directly
since I haven’t
asked  you to do anything else, though you've been good
at leaving voicemails, facebook messages and texts- none of which I have responded to)
I’ll ask our mutual friends,
my friends-
those that were invited to the engagement party and wedding and other social events-
to ask you.
you’ll say yes to them because you’re more friends with them than with me and I've been told you're reliable.
right?

Christian Poem

I
deliberately
placed
one
error
in
thYs
poem,
because
only
God
is
perfect.



I chose the letter Y for my error because it resembles a person (Jesus) with arms spread upward.

About Me

My photo
First of all, I love GOD. Proud Christian here! I love the smell of baked goods, seeing dads with their sons at the barbershop, couples walking down the street holding hands, I love my friends and their kids and their dogs and cats and my cats. I love poetry, jazz, old school R&B, Hip hop, Gospel, House, architecture, writing, and baking. I love compliments about my baking, I love Paris, Scarborough Ontario, Latino culture, nappy hair, and the sound of kids laughing. The first thing I do every morning after I crawl out of bed is get on my knees to thank God for letting me see another day. I invite you to join me on this journey on this thing called Life, where you might laugh, cry, and perhaps be enlightened along the way! I might be enlightened as well, based on your responses to my posts. For collaborations: daij62@gmail.com
