Suzanna C Chevalier Poems

Thoughts of you are better than sunshine,
and sweeter than cherry wine.
If I want to be happy I think of you
in my mind, then I feel very fine.
...

I’ll take the fall as the underdog—
that is what my soul agreed when I was framed
by a lady that was mean and insane.
I came as a light worker to make jail not so grim- -
...

Wouldn’t it be grand
if giving handprints was a sign of originality
across jail intake land.
Instead of identifying them as a defendant
...

If I had committed suicide in jail
the world would less bright without fail.
All my inspiring poems to children dear
would of fell on deaf ears.
...

If this is their first offense time in
and they are “not” serial rapists or mentally ill
or used guns to kill-
Should we ruin their names-
...

Johny Cash the “Man In Black”
is more than a country singer
for he brought awareness
about conditions about prisons
...

Walking back from court down to the cells
I talked to Mrs. Tucker she had a lot to tell.
She told me to forgive my mom for
not forgiving her is like a rock weighing me down so
...

The last words I said to Kayla
“I’m putting you in my book.”
she looked at me with one last look.
Tears running from her eyes that was very sad
...

Rules and consequences of the planetary dream
someone wronged someone right so we demean.
Of course we don’t pick someone up when they fall
We judge them as a trouble to society
...

Pray for the inmates that are in jail
after all their life did fail.
For now they need it the most—
who cares if they stole a big fat roast?
...
