Poetree

by Yasir Abrar from Burnage High School, Manchester, UK

in Response to Dr Zephaniah's 'Dis Poetry'

People ask me what I think of poetree,
I say poetry sums up the life of everybody
Read my poems and then you'll see
What I think of poetree!
I ain't as good as my mate Benjamin
But I can't remember if there has ever been,
My poetry stays wid me when I max and relax,
When I write my poems I don't have lapse of concentrations
Actually sometimes I do when I think of gods creations
I've read other poems,
Some pretty good
One guy said
"Poetry don't have 2 be living in a library",
Respect due dere
I'm talking 2 everyone from the bottom of my hear,
Take me for example I ain't good at art,
Still dis poetry's from inside me,
Come on people let me be!
