  3. Hey everyone this is Shannon Lott in class when we wrote the poems I had hard time. I am not use to writing poems, I thought only certain people were gifted with that ability. I had ideas but just did not know how to put all together. In a poem the words usually rythmn. I began writing a poem called who I am which I felt has a lot to do with what going on right now in my life.

  4. This is Kenneth Williams
    Why me? Why us?
    He left without a fight
    He Left a son that became a man
    Fighting through life without a clue,
    But we all know daddy didn't raise no fool
    Why me? Why us?
    Let me tell you my heart was full of pain
    But perservance and uplift is the only thing i knew that can keep me sane.
    I was told there was nothing I could've say or do. If there's will there's a way. I thought you knew. . .
    Now its time to let it go
    Why me? Why us?
    Only if you'll ever know. . .

  6. My Inspiration...
    I admire that I had an admirer that really cared
    I remember times I placed my face in my hands, crying and praying on the stairs
    When the pressure was on
    I was gone, but she never left me alone
    She pulled me back in and said everything will be alright
    The winner of a challenge is the one that never gets up in the fight
    She has continued to inspire me and though I'm not were I wanna be
    I still give thanks to my friend Nee for she is inspiration to me

  8. The Puzzled You

    You take a look inside what will you find
    Could a soul be so cold,and hard that it still can't be found.

    You seek and dig from within but you still can't find
    A soul that is caring and free but to you
    it's still can't be found.

    So dig deeper, deeper, and deeper and may
    you find
    That supreme being that will or should be found!

  10. I haven't done this in a while but here I go... Ugh... I don't even have a title but okay...
    See in the past three years I been through a lot,
    Took me a lot to get what I got,
    I am just trying to be successful,
    Just want to be the real me,
    Seeing my dreams come to reality,
    Finally, working on my own,
    Not counting numbers and making money for others,
    Stop letting down my mother,
    I do it big for my family that believes in me,
    I don't live for me anymore,
    I live for my son Kamari,
    Making money gets us our dream Ferrari,
    I know I have haters,
    They waste their time online leaving comments,
    I must make a lot of them sick,
    I got them wanting to vomit,
    I love my haters,
    If my haters don't love me now, I know they will love me later…
    Now see I look to Trina and Nicki Minaj,
    In my world they the sickest, the nastiest, the baddest,
    We are the realest, looking at the body we the thickest, nothing like the pickiest, with the mouth we the slickest now those some things in common,
    Okay forreal… Now, let us talk about what is uncommon…
    The End! Lol

  12. The Rose that Grew from Concrete


    Did you hear about the rose that grew from a crack in the concrete?
    Proving nature's law is wrong it learned to walk with out having feet.
    Funny it seems, but by keeping it's dreams, it learned to breathe fresh air.

    Long live the rose that grew from concrete when no one else ever cared.

  13. Commenting on Kenneth Williams poem:

    This is a beautiful poem. I felt it and can relate. I believe it speaks about a father dying or voluntarily walking away from his children. I can relate to the death idea if the poem, I lost my dad at 17 years old and I will never forget how that felt. When reading this poem posted by Kenneth, I felt all those emotions all over again, that I felt at 17 when my dad went away to Heaven.

  14. Now I dont understand about the world today and their plan, but their's people out there thats being strangled on the land...No food, No water, Less fortunate, Less fortunate, Less fortunate.
    All it takes is a few dimes, nickels and quarters, to get these people up and back in working order...one care, one love, and your heart on your shoulder. So why dont we do it, and take care of business?! Less fortunate, Less fortunate, Less fortunate!

  15. I'm commenting on Precious. . . I like your poem a lot. It remained me of my cousin that is an homosexual and I think he feel the family wasn't going to expect him for his sexuality. But I actually think once he was able to come around and get over the whole reality of not being accepted. Allowing the family to determine the solution b/c at the end of the day you just care about your family first. Accepted is only what u process in ur mind to be. Love yourself for who you are and people will love you back. . . ;-)

  16. When times were hard, you were often there;
    Showing me continuously that you often cared.
    Situations came and my felings I would hide;
    Knowing somehow, you stood by my side.
    Your words of wisdom, comforting things you'd say;
    So many times, brightened up my days.
    ALthough you never knew, neither did you see;
    That everything you see, had a positive affect on me.
    Thank you for the love you've shown, given from your heart;
    Your advice will always be with me, and from me it shall never depart.

    why do we do the things we do? is it we don't know or don't care? why do we do what we do? many time we see what others do can that be it? many time we hear what other may say can that be it. many time home may not be what you want it to be could that be it? Now i know..........Somebody said you had to........

  19. QUATICQUA JOHNSON(MY FAVORITE POEM).....
    When I first saw you i was afraid to meet you
    When I first met you i was afraid to hold you
    When I first held you i was afraid to kiss you
    when I first kissed you i was afraid to love you
    Now that I love you I am afraid to lose you!

  20. I had to quit!
    I had to get that chick outta my system
    She gave me stimulation
    But took away from my wisdom.
    She lift me up at the crib
    And brought me down in the classroom
    So now that she’s gone I gotta write cuz I miss her.
    Mary j. was on my mind like all the time
    She brought relief to the stress from my 9-5
    Increased my appetite, I need her to survive
    Ribbon in the sky, so with her I’m flying…
    Thru the galaxy and looking down at cloud nine
    Her body stays tight cuz I stuff her wit da dime
    This girl's the truth she gotta cure for the blind
    She had seeds when I bagged her that I kept like they were mine
    However I live in relief that she is no longer mine
    Because when I was with her my insides were slowly dying.
    Letting her go was a slow process
    One kiss from her lips took the stress up off my chest
    And I swear she left her heavenly scent in the air
    All in my clothes, all in my hair
    She had my head in a cloud
    Y'ALL KNOW WHAT I’M TALKING ABOUT!!!
    I kept my mind on her
    Even spent my last dime on her
    When my personal stash got low
    it was back to the block tryna find her
    But shorty she's a dime
    in fact that girl's a dub
    And I think I fell in love.
    She got me in trouble with the law
    Still I loved that girl,
    Cuz I couldn’t find a flaw
    She was the perfect girl.
    But I outgrew our time
    I have to restore my world.
    And my last words… I’mma miss you girl!
