Did you know / I was always watching / perched in the kitchen corner / grandgirl eyes staring staring
Poetry Corner
Unerased celebrated National Poetry Month this April by spotlighting the poets among us. Poetry is power and a personal expression of lived experiences. In a continuing effort to engage our visitors, we issued a Call for Poems and feature the words of Stephanie Lipscomb, Elaine McKinney and Dine Watston. We invite you to join them and submit a piece to Poetry Corner. Submit Here.
Here we go again... / slipping and falling from life / so soon before we could bond.
But it really seems easier to / Chatter about them / The little water bottles / Rather than / Everything else.
To demand respect, think, and rocksteady, where reasons to inspire my people to aim higher / Knowing a change is gonna come
One year after Breonna Taylor's senseless murder, poet Bernadine "Dine" Watson pays tribute across space, time and sameness.
Rosemari Mealy’s exquisite poem takes us on an enduring, emotional journey to the post-emancipation period now known as Juneteenth.
Do not remember me as a bridge nor a roof / as the maker of legends / nor as a trap
Now you understand / Just why my head’s not bowed / I don’t shout or jump about / Or have to talk real loud.
It is right that I a woman / black / should speak of white womanhood.
