Poetry from the Colors of My Mind

By: Selena Haskins

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

Poetry knocked on my door when I was just a little girl. She started rhyming to me in nursery books my mother gave me. Poetry spilled harmony through my speakers from songs of love to songs of heartache and pain. When I walked outside poetry stood on the corners and rapped while the youth pop locked and made beats with their lips and called it, the "Human Beatbox." All around me was poetry and poetry was me. She spoke the colors of my mind that would set me free. This is a collection of poetry, a personal part of me.

So real and true

I can relate to these poems as an older woman looking back over the years of life. The author nailed it.
