Original Poetry

Her

Look to the inner recesses of my mind and you will find

the thoughts of mine taken

by her; a dark slumber forsaken

since the first; moment of my Awaken

And mine eyes open to which

they never saw before, they stay

upon the light she emanates

insistent like an Alaskan summer day

Tantalizing, her charms magnetizing

to her, pulling me ever closer

by that which resides deep within

which is the child that truly shows her

I bear witness to her mastery

of perfect union - body, spirit, and heart

her beauty is Degas

and her composition, Mozart

Coincidence, she reminds me of me

ambitions as I, in my detection

'go getter' is the description of her

but 'go-get-her' is my direction

How impossible for me to imagine

she were not to be mine

when i sent myself out to the universe

and it responded to me in kind

And if at any moment

my thoughts could manifest themselves to occur

they would show to lay, linger and think

they would show to stay upon her

Just Old Men Talking (Return Engagment)

The Lucy Florence Cultural Center is located in Leimert Park. Address is:

3351 W. 43rd Street
Los Angeles, CA. 90008
323.293.1356 for reservations

This is a great show, about....you guessed it, old men talking on various subjects, in the African-American barbershop tradition. These 'old men' speak from their personal experiences, and through that, try to bridge the gap of things of the past, with the goings on of today. It is directed by a great director, Sharon L Graine, and written by first time playwright Grady L Mackey III. It deserves to be seen by as many people that can see it!

Gimme a couple of minutes!

To Kill A Mockingbird

An upcoming play for which I will be performing...






















Harper Lee's Pulitzer Prize winning story (adapted by Christopher Sergel) of Scout, Jem, Atticus Finch and the reclusive Boo Radley takes the audience to Maycomb, Alabama during the Great Depression. Lies and bigotry tarnish a courtroom and bring the characters face to face with racial injustice and the loss of innocence, but ultimately it is the warmth and humor of this tale that secures its place among the timeless classics.

Note: This play runs Thursday October 22nd through Saturday October 24th. Shows start at 8pm. There is also a matinee showing on Saturday October 24th at 2pm.

PRICES:
Student - $12.50
Adult - $15.00
Senior 55+ - $12.50
Child 12- - $12.50
