I wrote this poem after I recognized that my writing style could be compared to Langston Hughes and Dr. Seuss.

Hughes, Seuss, Souza by Jemar Souza

Hello Mr. Hughes,

I’ve heard of you before…

But I never knew
That parts of you

Were at the center of my core.

Good day Dr. Seuss,

No worries,
I’m quite fine.

I admit your presence’s evident,
As well,

Throughout my fancy rhymes.

Simple,
Yet so deep;

Light,
Could be heavy;

Humor, conscious, emotional,
Politically
Sexy;

Fresh,
With hints of swagger;
Wit as sharp
As darts and daggers;

Edgy -

Is how I hope they
Recognize me,

When I’m…
Happily
Ever
After.
