Hello my name is Gina Jenkins 🌻

Asked friends off my timeline if I could use a pic of them for this submission.

For when I think of color

Think of all of us a a world family .

The poem is called “Color Beat”

Dedicated to my sister that passed last year

The butterfly represents her as she was a great poet and loved butterflies.

Poem~

Color Beat

Cool as a breeze..

that's what our colors be..

Fine churned mixed from earth

Rainbow colors

Standing tall

As the ground beats

Drums of beautiful technicolor

Chest ..out

Our Feet planted.

Like David rising from Goliath.

Ha..That's Word .

Smooth...flow of flows.

Ancestors songs in the kinks and turns of our hair..

Heart Beat..roaring.

We..all shades.

That's what our colors be ..

All immersed

In our human beat... ...

flowing and glowing...

growing and sowing....

not from our looks....

but what's inside steering us forward ....

head held so highhhhhhhhhH......

changing the world in our many colors

that Melting Pot beat....

Got us dancing on our feet

In our many beautiful color beats.
