Happy heavenly Earthday Brother @BZephaniah. Still working on my poetic tribute to you. Miss you but forever thankful for your impact on my work as a poet & writer and development of WAPPY -Writing, Acting & Publishing Project for Youngsters. Rest well. ❤️
riversidestudios.co.uk/see-and-do/eat… I am honoured to be reading two of @BZephaniah poems at this celebration of his work @RiversideLondon
@AdrianJ51513532 @BZephaniah Epic indeed, Adrian! I love the energy and rhythm of his poems. Nowhere near as amazing as @BZephaniah's 'Money', here's my #MoneyPoem. Hope you like it.
She cries as the day breaks Through the crack at dawn waves sing "The woman who never made mistakes She never made a thing"
@BZephaniah I really appreciate seeing these posts, they never fail to make me smile!
@BZephaniah Sooooooooo sadly missed today … thank you for your great legacy that still lives on for all of us.
@BZephaniah Thank you to whoever it is that’s running his account now. Just love seeing these snippets come through so often. Truly wonderful. Thank you 🙏🏼 #RIPProfBenjaminZephaniah

I rise with guidance I speak through my poise I work hard in silence Light is my noise
