“ON A CHILLY NIGHT”

Dibujoqwd … The stars are eerie on a chilly night.

The stars have vanished from my sight.

The fog has begun to settle down.

Quickly enveloping a tiny town.

From above, the rain begins to pour.

The wicked wind supports a roar!

663704476c04574aa83405319512a75d … Throughout the sky, lightening does crack.

It flashes light, the clouds are black.

The snap of thunder is heard from afar.

The sky is dull without a star.

From behind the window glass, I see-

A storm so strong, it breaks to be free!

6a00e5500c89b1883301538e2fec21970b-800wi … It takes the earth and washes it down.

The wetness spills and fills the ground.

As the storm’s force begins to die,

There comes a brightness from the sky.

Far behind the rain on this stormy night-

Awaits a new day of shining light!! …

I am a professor, a poet, an author, and an immigrant. I am the survival of many political and economical hardship. As a political immigrant, it took me a long time to master the English language and to come to terms that I can never see my family again. "THE PARTING FROM MY FAMILY WAS THE BEGINNING OF A FRIENDSHIP THAN THE END OF OUR FRIDAYS!" My autobiography, "THE RAIN STOPS IN TEXAS" was published in 1997 by Eakin Press. It can be found in Amazon. As Ernest Hemingway says, write about something you know, most of my novels are about cultural difference of the old and new and American style of living compare to my home country. My poetry are in all forms. I write as they come to me. My first draft is always my last draft. "THIS IS MY WORLD, WELCOME!" "THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE!"
