6 Word Memoirs

Warm weather, summer time, Kool aid.
Daisy Dukes, Wife Beats, Oh yeah.
don't spend your time on hoes
spend your time on educational things
get all the knowledge you can
a smile can go the distance
basketball is life, life is basketball?
NaS is the best rapper ever
dont watch tv, tell a story
read, speak, write, tell, hear, listen.

Grand Theft Poetry

THE DEFINITION OF A POET
Your mind escapes reality
Feeding your soul with words
Time Stops
As you sit and vibe
to the great poets
Shakespear, T.S., Robert Frost
NaS, Eminem, Rakim?
They tell me... NO
A rapper is not a poet
WHY?
Is it the curse words?
How they dress?
Because they took the road less traveled by?
Or said it in a different way?
They are still poets
for what is a poet?
There is no description!
No Traits
No look
No right way to do it
A poem lies within all of us
and within all of us.
Lies a poet
