I am < than you.

I am greater than you,
but then again that’s nothing new,
I’m stronger than a thousand horses,
more intelligent, sat more courses,
more romantic than you could ever be,
intellectual with my poetry,
taller than the mountains, gentler than a nurse
you won’t hear me scream, shout or curse
I’m gentleman, noble I don’t prey on the weak
you won’t ever find me if we play hide and seek
I’m predator, prey and trophy to keep
you won’t ever kill me, I won’t ever weep
I’m greater than you, and you do not know it
I’m the gentleman, hunter, playwright and poet.

Haha... keep this for letters to distribute among your "favourite" teachers and classmates after you graduate. Sweet.
And the symbol for greater than is >, not <.
Got your maths all confused, you did.
But this was a great poem. Rhyming "poet" with "know it?" Nice! I tried to rhyme with "poet" before, but ended up with something offensive.
Excellent work.

Nicely done here. I thought this was outstanding. I'd show this to......well anybody who sucks.
Great job on this one.....quite cocky, but hey.



I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust.

I'm in love with my shadow
I admire it daily
