Bedroom games

In my honest review, this is not poetry. It reminds me of rap lyrics, almost all of which talk about one thing. Also, I could tell that you were trying to construct verses that rhymed but did not fit, making the poem awkward.

Poetry is a form of expression whether it be rap or hip hop. Style has no place in creativity and to conform to a set way of doing something is not true expression. I don't want to be Maya angelou who I love. Who said poetry has be about butterflies and rainbows and have a mellow tone.

Red Accent****With all due poetical and political respect, I have a poem about people like you titled "Poetic Insult". You can not tell anyone WHAT poetry is or isn't. Poetry is opinions, emotions, theory. We are not here to be scholars we are here to be poets. A real poet knows they can not judge anyone else's form of poetic or artistic expression. It can be there personal taste or not be, but you can't tell someone their poetry IS NOT POETRY. Period. No one founders poetry as a materialistic form of expression. That's the entire point. So you are the snobby scholarly poet, not a free spirited artist, which is ok but there is a fine line between critique and straight ignorant insult...and you just did the latter of the two. Furthermore, Rap was poetry!!!! Poetry is the foundation of rap music. And my curious mind just know.....would you have read it in a "rap" tone if you didn't know the author was a black man? Ponder that....I'm over with this rant.

I am speechless I couldn't have said it better myself @ Lyrical_Aptitude.
