<p>The author&rsquo;s third book of poetry<strong> </strong>offers &ldquo;quick reads.&rdquo;</p><p>&ldquo;I keep them short, because I want potential readers to crave more,&rdquo; states Juanita Alexandria Davis. &ldquo;This is the first time I have ever had any illustrations. Fourteen of the poems are color illustrated with my suggestions.</p><p>&ldquo;There are serious, thought-provoking, as well as light poems. I started with a couple of serious poems, and ended on a lighter note. I dealt with &lsquo;skeletons&rsquo; in our closet, having the birds and the bees talks with your children, and accepting people that are different from us.&rdquo;</p><p>A poem from <em>Ambition: The Aspiring Poet&rsquo;s Edition:</em></p><p><strong>White Hair</strong></p><p><em>When I finally go all gray, my hair color will stay that way</em></p><p><em>A silver vixen, whose jet black hair I won&rsquo;t be missing</em></p><p><em>No one will have to point out to me that I look like an old lady</em></p><p><em>My white hair will be displayed like my badge of honor</em></p><p><em>In all my grace and maturity people will refer to me as &ldquo;mama&rdquo;</em></p><p><em>Look at all the ones not fortunate enough to be as old as me</em></p><p><em>Remember Joplin, Hendrix, Winehouse, Aaliyah, and Jim Croce</em></p><p><em>Not rushing my black or salt and pepper years to disappear</em></p><p><em>Of course heard of a wig, and am familiar with hair dye</em></p><p><em>Give me frost, bring on the snow, I&rsquo;ve aged, survived, I&rsquo;m alive!</em></p><p><strong>(About the Author)</strong></p><p>Juanita Alexandria Davis was raised in the Rehoboth Beach area of Delaware.
