Shug Avery (Found Poem)

Shug Avery was a woman.

She more pretty then my mama.

I think bout Shug Avery.

She like a queen to me.

Shug Avery is coming to town.

I just be thankful to lay eyes on her.

Ain’t nothing wrong with Shug Avery.

I wash her body, it feel like I’m praying.

The hair that come out in my comb I kept. 

 For the first time in my life, I feel just right.
