Kenneth R Jenkins Poems

Is it enough
To being Black in America
To being in America?
First fired
...

in memory of the children of South Africa


Freedom!
...

Monday's child raised up in the morning
Away to school for another day.
Tuesday child makes ready for another day,
Making the best of what that may come their way.
...

No matter the distance
Between us in miles,
No matterthe lifespan,
Spread all thewhile
...

In Memory of Vetta M. Jenkins Mims

One word is so hard to say
To someone like you in every way,
...

In loving memory of Queen Young Murray(1921-2005)

In case we didn't say it,
or express it enough to let you know,
...

​
Bring on the night- -
Where those dare play,
And where freaks come out anyway
...

I look up above my head this fair evening
And saw the slender of it all,
How the night time is formed and fashioned
And with beauty of night delightful
...

You make write....

You make me write the world over
And just not settle for the best
...

The sun didn't rise of yet
For it's early and the night slips away quietly
Like a thief it steals away,
Then sneaks up on you without notice.
...
