O knihe

The author's third book of poetry offers "quick reads."
"I keep them short, because I want potential readers to crave more," states Juanita Alexandria Davis. "This is the first time I have ever had any illustrations. Fourteen of the poems are color illustrated with my suggestions.
"There are serious, thought-provoking, as well as light poems. I started with a couple of serious poems, and ended on a lighter note. I dealt with 'skeletons' in our closet, having the birds and the bees talks with your children, and accepting people that are different from us."
A poem from Ambition: The Aspiring Poet's Edition:
White Hair
When I finally go all gray, my hair color will stay that way
A silver vixen, whose jet black hair I won't be missing
No one will have to point out to me that I look like an old lady
My white hair will be displayed like my badge of honor
In all my grace and maturity people will refer to me as "mama"
Look at all the ones not fortunate enough to be as old as me
Remember Joplin, Hendrix, Winehouse, Aaliyah, and Jim Croce
Not rushing my black or salt and pepper years to disappear
Of course heard of a wig, and am familiar with hair dye
Give me frost, bring on the snow, I've aged, survived, I'm alive!
