Black woman / true color submission

By Ariva kristoff-Jones

True color - submission

Buttered cornbread and home grown greens.

Banana pudding, vanilla bean creme.

Black woman,

You are beauty .

Peanut butter thick, jam and jelly soft.

High yellow sweet corn, brown barley wheat stalk.

Black woman,

You are beauty.

Sunflower golden, burnt sugar crisp.

Coco honey and caramel dipped.

Black woman you are beauty.

You sway with the love of the drum

speaking in a language of rhythm.

Coconut coiled crown, you are your own religion.

Black woman, you are beauty.
