Black Ice

I love him. A lot of people in the hood would understand what he is talking about. His words are strong and he is real. You can tell that he has expierience and he feels what he is talking about. " Ignorance is Bliss, And Niggas Love This" I just don't understand the whole point of the poem, like his message, but i liked a lot of his messages. He curses a lot though. I could tell that he had some rapper in im. I also like how he talked about social class and how the government corrupted the hood. He used a lot of similies and metaphors, and his assonance made his poem flow nicely. His words had me on the edge of my seat.

Sarah Kay

Sarah Kay's poem was really great. I love the way she connected different things. One of my favorite parts was when she spoke about trying to save someone and the same people you are tryin to save are stepping on her cape. I love the fact that she doesnt only speak about the good, but she also shows the bad. Her style of poetry was cute and lovable and also girly.
