Poetic Thoughts - paul lawrence dunbar - by C.W. Pruitt II

Poetic Thoughts header

Below is a tribute to American poet Paul Lawrence Dunbar:

paul lawrence dunbar

when he entered a room
people turned
his way
and not because
he was a great poet
with enormous charisma
and not because
he made people
feel better
about themselves

they turned
to face
the light

paul lawrence dunbar
was a bearer of light
