Three Poems Published in Deaf Lit Extravaganza Book

My 3 poems are published in this anthology book titled "Deaf Lit Extravaganza". It will be out on the market this October. There are other work by other writers/poets in this book. This book focuses on the deaf culture, deaf experiences, deaf political issues, and so forth. 

Here is my one poem that is in this book titled "Diva"

“Diva”

Young wise woman.

Brown-cinnamon flesh.

Black braided hair.

A heart listener.

No one can exploit her.

Listen to her stories.

Honest as an open bowl.

Men don’t understand.

She knows what she needs.

She is a diva!

A deaf woman she is.

Doesn’t matter.

She isn’t a light-headed bird.

It won’t work if men try playing tricks.

Beautiful she is.

Intelligent she is.

But she doesn’t lift her tail feathers up.

She doesn’t want to be a pawn.

Respect her dreams!

Respect her existence!

She carries the armor.
