That's a terrific poem ! I wonder if he just sat down and blurted it out or if it took weeks and months, writing down the couplets as they occurred to him.
I am always amazed by Dunbar’s imagery. It seems new to me every time I read him. And if he’s good enough for Maya Angelou to borrow from, he’s damn good.
Love the poem. It's tremendously sensuous. And how the words roll in the mouth and off the tongue. The description- I am there in those moments.I remember.

He's local so I've been reading his poetry since I could read. He's so accessible and great to read aloud. One of my favorites!

Is the Big Ass Bug a katydid?
I was always told we don't want to know what Katy did or did not do.
He's one of my favorites!
Love those sweet, fluffy, pork chop pointers.
