Kenneth R Jenkins Poems

To all who may hear me...

Get it straight from the heart
From this poet
...

in memory of Melvin Jenkins--my Uncle

You're resting in Jesus' arms
From all safety and away from harm,
...

After the rain stops,
And the thunder rolled,
And the clouds turned gray
By the voice of God
...

to my wife Vanessa

I celebrate you---
For just being you and only you,
...

A Social Commentary

Where is the truth?
Hiding in plain sight
...

The stink of the city
And ain't it a pity?
Of the crimes that goes on there,
And how it sinks even the air
...

Torn.
Battered.
Forgotten and even cast aside
Like anything else
...

Daddy's Hand: Images

Big hands of this man
Who I remember as a child
...

To Nikki Giovanni

Poetry and rhyme
And reason
...

the splendor of night,
makes it seem so wonderful,
such is a delight
that makes up this moment.
