Your Favourite Poem

[chicoazul]

Massively incorrect and offensive
I’m considering suing for slander
Throwing around stereotypical insults
Is not becoming of an Easter islander

Xx

Whilst appreciative of your rapping,
You’ve got the flow of a fourth grader,
But then you are Godless Welshman
Speaking the language of his invader.

Nos da x

The tongue of my brethren and I
Is the original speak of this isle
It’s a sad reflection on Englishmen
They can’t grasp a language of style

As big and square as a bed
Would describe an unusual head
That head may me empty or full
But it belongs to the @chicoazul

I wish to respond to your kind ditty,
Although the situation is quite fluid,
Your land is principality not a country,
Now get to f you absolute Druid.

The tongue of my brethren and I
Is the original speak of this isle
It’s a sad reflection on Englishmen
They can’t grasp a language of style

This is waaaay better than the ending of 8 Mile:

" The tongue of my brethren and me" or "of mine".

One does not say "of I".

Had never encountered this thread before. I'll admit I was nervous about what I might find.

I have a strange relationship with poetry. I struggle to process poems written down. I just don't put them together. Recited they make an awful lot more sense to me.

Anyway, couldn't name you a favourite. Did like Azul and Kurt's rap battle though.

You can find a lot of poems narrated on the YouTube, some by the poets themselves.

Shall I part my hair behind? Do I dare to eat a peach? I shall wear white flannel trousers and walk upon the beach......In the room the women come and go talking of Michelangelo
