LETTING GO

Love me, love me not
It doesn't matter that I
Am expendable
Here today, gone tomorrow
It's just a matter of time

COMPETITIVE NATURE

List all of your different layers of identity.

Write a poem in which one of the identities contends or talks with another identity 

Move out clear the way

Father time I reign supreme

But my brotherly

Love is for adversity

As a friend I always love

STREET TALK

Write a poem that plays with voice



Ounces got halves trays
Got pills got crack reefer coke
Wanna take a hit
All of life's complexities
Will soon become clear

SQUARE ONE

Write a poem that is based on a secret shame or a secret pleasure.



Some say it's no shame
Yet not a secret either
No one wants to talk
Racial injustice has not
Dropped off the edge of the earth
