I agree. This poem is rather funny and you smile. But then, as you read on you realize just how hard it is on the person and how much they don't like the fact that they're gangster as much. Then, you feel bad for them and your smile is now a sympthetic face.

Kudos to you. You win a star!

I honestly didn't find anything wrong. At least something that sticks out to me.

I like how it has some kind of hidden message while trying to lighten the mood with some humor.

Those last few lines were perfect. Great ending.

It leaves me with mixed feelings, which in this case, isn't a bad thing. At first I'm crackin' up, then I feel sympathetic, and last I have a smile on my face.
That was a nice effect.

I'd love to see more from you, shall I look for more?

Oh and one more thing... a golden star for you!

That was so funny. Seriously. People at my school don't say "gangsta," though. They have this thing where they say "gangSTAR" instead of gangsta or gangster.

Back to your piece of writing. I agree you should make stanzas---it'll be easier for readers to read.

Else than that this was hilarious.
Way to go!

I didn't find this enjoyable. All I could see was a list of cliches, and the poem really doesn't bring anything original to the table. I've heard these same kind of jokes at school.

I have to admit that the first thought that came to mind when I saw the title was "You have GOT to be kidding me." I was expecting something really stupid, but I was surprised! I laughed, mostly because I have a whole lot of wannabes at my school.
The part I liked the most was where you went off the humor and actually hit deep. That was so cool to me! The parts where you talked about WHY they're like that, that just blew the whole thing out of the park for me. Bueno Bueno for you!

My God, oh how you've changed me; broken, shaped, and rearanged me. How you've knocked me down so you could pick me up.

3-Damentional,


This is junk - a clumsy pastiche of lines that leads nowhere slowly, and which is framed in language sometimes not even your own (lyrics from songs that were awful when they came out, in particular).

Throw this away. Try something else.


Best,

Respect, dude. You've caused a strir, that's for sure. I don't know, there's aspects of this piece that are for me- the irony towards the end is good, almost hillarious in itself as well as the start, but the overall concept lacks any real emotion and I gain nothing as a reader.

But Kudos for a sensational poem, anway!

It was very funny and if i may say so not boreing at all. The whole thing was awesome and i was laughing up until the last part. It was serious and balanced the poem nicely. You made it funny but then showed that the topic wasnt really that funny. I loved it. It was gangsta!
