Dark skin girl

Felicia Jones 1982 (Montgomery Al)

Free verse
Dark skin girl with eyes like two almonds shinning so bright

Dark skin girl with hair that flows like the darkest sea

Dark skin girl with lips so full like clouds in the sky

Dark skin girl with bow hips who switch when she walks

Dark skin girl with head held high up to the sky

Dark skin girl dark skin girl yes I'm proud to be a dark skin girl

About this poem

This is something that I made up for my 10 year old daughter who was getting picked on in school because she is dark skin by a group of girls so I told her this and there's no wrong with being a dark skin girl
