You Oughta Know: Young Jamaican Poet





There's a young lady I know by the name of Kerry-Ann Johnson who writes some beautiful poetry and shares it with the world at her site: La Voce Poetry

She's been writing for years and sharing them with her close personal friends (and the ones on her Facebook profile to boot), but she's ready to share with just about anyone now. - QBF



Here's a short excerpt (and link) to one of her most recent works:

Who Knows...
Of the hands we have held, how many have we felt?
Of the smiles we have shared, how many really cared?
Of the hearts we have touched, how many were loved?
Constantly looking but too blind to see
The fading photograph, the shade of a family tree
Hearing the static sounds of each day
Seldom listening to the meaning of the words they say
Footprints are quickly lost to the rising tides
Echoes of laughter slowly disappear with the miles
And the road we have travelled
And the memories we have sewed
Where, with no place else to go, should we call home?

NSFW Monday!

Good Morning! This is the 21st, and last of my "Body-Painted Football Babes Bonanza" series. Perhaps more importantly however, the semi-finals begin tomorrow in the World Cup! So a hearty congratulations to the great teams who made it: Uruguay versus Netherlands Germany versus Spain They will play each other tomorrow and Wednesday respectively, but all signs point to Germany defeating the Netherlands in the final. Now, back to the babes! We have ladies representing the Italian Republic (the only returning champion I'd wager, to ever come dead last in the weakest group), and the Republic of Korea (South Korea -- who lost to Uruguay in the 2nd round). - QBF Spicy Meatball: Korea's Taekwan-Don't Stop!
