Rodney R. Rhodes - Creator of BLACKIFIED

Dear Blackified Readers: My mission is to unite the Detroit Black Community, to empower our culture's inner beauty and to inspire Black Men in particular to be patient and persistent in the achievement of their life goals. I have developed a CD series of the fictional character "Buddy Green - Wise Man on the Corner". Buddy Green has seen it all and offers a wisdom to shine on inner-city pitfalls.

About Me

Name:
Location: United States

Author, Poet, Public Speaker I grew up in Tennessee and Detroit, studied African American Literature at Knoxville College (1988-91). I've since then developed a sideline business as a speaker, storyteller and inspirational poet. I recognize in myself a certain ability to uplift and inspire and I write to you now asking for a chance to do as much in your sphere of influence. I offer a message of hope for our communities and I look forward to working with you all.

to many things to do to be tired

Pollen in the Wind


What you forgot to say or even
play how good it taste
how to touch a sweet face
how to do a tango
or saying I'll go
or a just one more throw
one more braid
one little bite
one star to wish upon tonight
one peek at the sun rise
catch a firer fly
not to tell a lie
sail a kite
love and kiss your child
no matter their age
hug mommy and daddy
laugh with sister and brother
be the best lover to the love of your
life
run with your favorite cousin
hold a grand parent's hand
tell a friend I love you
make a strangers dream come
true
swim in a pond
go beyond the call of duty
read one more story
sing a love song
share a cola
just care for one another
bring a flower to the garden
add your touch to the harvest
grow into the life of love
you are a ROSE
a flawless flower
just bring you and make
dreams come true
