I told my friend Nichole that I did not like or respect poetry. Then I saw this story in Washington DC, and immediately I thought of Gwendolyn Brooks. I take it back Nichole:
We Real Cool by Gwendolyn Brooks
We real cool. We
Left school. We
Lurk late. We
Strike straight. We
Sing sin. We
Thin gin. We
Jazz June. We
Die soon.

i don't like poetry either. but i've been known to waver once or twice. once, when i met sonia sanchez. twice, when i heard a friend say something that made me ask "is THAT really poetry tho?"
I'm in the same boat. Not a big poetry or spoken word fan. I just can't get into it for some reason.
