Why Poetry? Because rap is wrapped in a concrete jungle And writing is trapped by laws But Poetry.. Poetry is a free-write of the soul Tai |

Writin' poems is easy, I do it all the time, I start off with a rhythm, then try to make it rime. I'll admit I have a problem gettin' words spelt right, My punctuations shameful and my grammers just a sight. And mostly when I write, I have nuthin' much to say, Which really aint unusual with some writers of the day. Thats why those nasty critics will never get me down, I'm as good at saying nuthin' as anyone around. I guess thats all I got to say, this poem is almost through The verses are complete, theres just one thing left to do, And thats to sign this work of art like any artist would, But after reading what I wrote I just don't think I should! |

Interloper, Krishankinds, Charisma, vandana, Kethry, GoodKnight, Magnus and elfin_tigress..thank you all for reading and replying! =) Thank youuuu!!! faterider-- hmm...I'm not sure how to explain what I mean..I guess the "concrete jungle" is meaning the streets of the cities..and saying that rap is "wrapped" up in the streets, is meaning that a lot of the "meaning" and actual true things that rap used to deal with and be about, has changed so much into who has the most money, the biggest crew, the hottest girls, the flyest jewlery..a lot of rappers don't deal with anything real anymore, and so...basically thats what I meant, if thats making any sense at all. If not, I'm sorry :-P thanks for reading and replying. Tai |
