Space'Nn Poem by Devontae' Rankin
Space'Nn
Im In the Booth like clark kent,
Thinking bout all the money i done spent,
Seen so much stuff in my life you just wouldn't understand,
just so much that i couldn't even balance it on one hand,
not even two hands if i think about it,
young 3rd grader listening to master P song Bout it Bout it,
Growing up in the projects is where i was raised,
so much hatred and raged on a kidd,
i just sit and wounder how great i live,
compared to how bad i use to live,
I gave up so much just to live the life that i live,
But the question is what all did i have to give to life?
Hi, Devontae. I read all of your poems to understand your style, your point of view, and I have say that they are impressive. You are minimalist in the way you choose your language; I noticed you use cultural perspectives as well, like the poem above. The rythm, vocabulary choice, and imagery are great. However, in some poems, you risk sounding a bit infantile because they are too simply put. All in all, I think you did a good job. Keep it up and good luck with everything.
