Jeannette Gregory Poems

Wake up Mommy
I need to learn how to tie my shoes
And if daddy comes, I promise not to show him the bruise.
I promise not to wet the bed tonight
...

Black man, turn my skirt tail loose,
Why every time I take one-step up
You snatch me back?
I’m trying to feed my mind so I can help you feed our children,
...

The enemy made several attempts to rape every gift that God deposited within me
Placed me in a “chicken coop” and fed me chicken seed
...
