Best Black Woman Poems

Do not call me
strong Black woman for
it is not a compliment
It is a title given to us
boxed inside expectations that
weigh us down
We are not superheroes
yet we are branded with
an "S" on our chest
forced to steer clear of
the kryptonite called failure
Black women aren't
supposed to fall
We're expected...

A fetching feminine
With magnificent melanin
A soft skin
With a shiny shin
A captivating cleavage
With syrupy sweat
A gorgeous girlfriend
With gleeful giggles
A warm woman
With humane heart
A mindful mother
With a sweet smile
A darling daughter
With healing hugs
A special sister
With a vigilant vision 
A great granny
With invaluable insights
A natural nanny
With wondrous witticism

Black woman you are strong.
Black woman you are the one,
Black woman you are a true blessing on this little island.
Black woman you are the embodiment of beauty,
skin bleaching damages the envied melanin that you
bring.
Black woman you are the epitome...

You have curly hair.
Your resting face, is a fierce stare

You are beautiful!

Dear black woman, 
You have big gorgeous eyes
A voluptuous body, look at those thighs

You are beautiful!

Dear black woman, 

You have soft, yet tough brown skin
Your plump lips, do not need any...

You are nothing
Why should I respect you
You have no political power
You have no economic power
and you have little social power
Why should I respect you 
You are nothing
Anyway, Jesus is white

Give him a different woman...

A Strong Black Woman
Is someone who can hold her own,
She's never weak
Always strong.

She's very independent
Don't need a man,
On her own two feet
She can stand.

She keeps her head up high
Never looking down,
She's very outspoken
Holds her ground.

She has a college education
Very smart,
She knew what she wanted
From the...

Beautiful black woman 
You're a Queen.
Beautiful black woman

Your love,
Holds the presence of God's healing hands.

Zombies follow I gotta lead...

The struggles of a black woman is at best a horrific, tumultuous one
But the black woman is strong and will not be un-done
We don't always do what we want to
We just do what we have to do
We've had to put up with so many un-fair...

Is it the color of my skin that keeps you from being my lady friend?
Tell me my African American Queen; Maybe I just lack self-esteem.
       I keep your pretty face in every dream.  I desperately want you to...

America is everyone,
There are people who believe otherwise
But America is not 
Just some middle class white man,
Living a suburban life,
Drinking coffee every morning,
Eating breakfast with his beautiful wife and children.
The American dream right.
But America is more than that

America is a Cuban boy
Being as loud as...

Dear God, I have a favor to ask
Because of where I’ve been.
I’ve been without for oh so long
Please give me peace within.

I’ve tried to do the best I can
But I’m beginning to feel some doubt.
Peace within would help me win
Because there is no peace without.

You’ve...

L'Overture


Lest we forget
Words often mouthed
For the dead of bloody war
Forgot not those great ones
Whose battles were on the home front
Seeking only equality of voice

Ray Charles to you was a singer
Backwards and long ago he was a preacher
A brilliant man of forward thought
Who gifted the world...

I do not know what I'll find
if I pull off your hijab
Perhaps a cobra lurks to bite
Whose venom will kill wit

I've bared my heart into sonnets
Sadly you will never read them- you aren't lettered
You're rather numbered counting naira notes
by the fireside where you fry awara
but...

As a child I always envisioned what my life would become
Who will I be, where will I live, will I be free, 
will I be loved, will I be touched, will I know God,
will I know love, will I get married, will I have friends,...

Strong, black woman 
You come from a mighty land,
Your skin is made from God's pure earth,
Strong, black woman you're beautiful 
You are made by a king 
Walk like the champion you are,
You were crowned the Queen of the land
Back and strong and proud to...
