The Haitian
By
Stella L. Crews

More than an Island
Way of thinking or a chance
To expose the world to
A tropical dance.
These are Creole days
Infused by syllables
From France.

Price of a sire, madear’s
Flower grown stealthy
Into a behemoth
Sized tower.
In stride power
Measured like languages
By hours.

In the work of the day
Or at rest for the week
Extend the mind’s
Best way to speak.
These are Creole ways,
Like a sand shifted beach
Altered constructs
From Nord Amerique
