Derek Earl Houghton Poems

Welcome my blog. The intention is to publish every piece of writing that I have churned out for the past 10 years. Some pieces have a story behind the story, some lyrical poems have become songs. We have hundreds of poems, stories, songs, lyrics, and life musings. Subscribe and every Monday receive a story to start off your week. Art is created by Amina & AI.

The one true and pernicious ugliness in the world is mankind,

for the simple reason that he isn’t

Never put the Coloureds  in with the Whites. Coloureds tend to bleed , historically speaking.

A truce, generally speaking, serves the greater good.

Unfortunately the greater good is more often than not

like a woman  choosing sensible shoes over black stiletto heels.

Sensible shoes are great for walking around the city

but unlike stiletto heels, they do nothing for the curvature of her buttox.
