Kenneth R. Jenkins Poet Blank verse

This Is Who I Am

Brother, 
Lover, 
Poet, 
Freelance writer, 
Son, 
Grandson, 
Nephew, 
Godfather too. 
Christian in transition 
Whose life changed in so many positions 
Through so many persons and faces 
Changing from many places. 

Dreamer of dreams 
Poet of the extreme 
A deep thinker of thoughts and ideas. 
Undercover comic relief 
A man who had its share of sorrow and grief, 
Walker of many miles, 
And who puts on many smiles. 

I'm no ego tripper 
But a man who reaches for the Big Dipper, 
Commanding dreams to come true 
And a person who also encourages you. 

People lover 
never undercover 
But face 2 face with you 
A thinker so deep like an ocean blue. 
A dreamer who goes beyond the stars 
No matter how deep or how far 
This is who I am! 

I maybe a gem in a rough place 
But I am the person with that face 
You'll never forget 
But in time your mind will set 
On the things I told you 
And all of this is surely true 
Of who I am to me. 

Child of the '60's long ago 
i write these verses to let you know 
Of who I am so listen well 
As I finish this to tell 
For this is who I am! 

Black Man 
Trying to do what's right in this land 
For this is who I am 
This is who I am!
