This is a written effort of various stylistic ways to write poetry. I have written this poetry to share with a wide variety of readers, readers who will appreciate the elements of love, inspiration, social issues, black expression and other miscellaneous works. Black Poet was written to share with family, friends and readers who appreciate the art of the spoken word. This collection of poetry is uplifting and inspiring with some elements that will give the reader something to think about, but will not be offensive in any way. This unique collection will be received well and do well in todayas market of poetry writers because itas diverse, itas uncomplicated, and itas filled with variety. Any audience thatas open to eclectic and stylistic ways of writing poetry and prose will appreciate reading Black Poet.
