In his latest collection, Kite ke m pale (Let My Heart Speak), the poet Jacques Pierre speaks lovingly and eloquently about women and others who have faced and continue to face difficulties and injustice. Jacques uses the elegance and imagery of his poetry not only to showcase the beauty and richness of the Kreyol language but also as a poignant reminder of the issues facing his home country. His poetry sometimes resorts to uncommon forms of Kreyol such as jagon and bolit to better express that which cannot be conveyed commonly, and expose everyone to the linguistic wealth of the country. Kite ke m pale expresses the heart of the poet as well as the heart and soul of the Kreyol language and those who speak it."

Nannan

Nan je w m konn sa ki rele lakansyèl
nan lonbraj ou m danse kole ak solèy
nan bouch ou m dekouvri laverite
nan sousi w m konn valè sezon lete
nan kè w m wè enpòtans zetwal
nan souri w m vizyonnen pisans bal
nan pale w parèt fòs ki kache nan lang
nan chive w m wè lalin k ap fè m filalang
nan ranch ou m konn valè yon mèt
nan panse w ou deja wè m tonbe sou tèt
nan mache w m wè sa sa vle di yon fi ki byen tete 
nan kolè w ou pa janm eklate
nan tout pati kache yo m wè yon sous
nan vire w se siwo myèl ak melas dous pou dous
