All you happy bloggers, good work. I enjoyed reading your posts. Am glad to see that your rooms have got more character since the exercise in class last week, or the week before, as it may have been. Hey, but grammar, spellings and punctuation?
Ok, this is what - oh no, not my room - I've been working on. Rapping up a Shakespeare sonnet. It's just the initial version, and only part of the sonnet, but I like the way it's going. After the tests are over, we'll go back to that exercise. Right. More - as the saying goes -in person!
•When I be alone
and got me
time to think,
I call me
up a taxi,
to run me
to the past,
but
it come loaded
with the nigga
of who I was before.
And that nigga,
he look at me
and he pull
the trigger.
I’m alone, I got me weepin
cause I shoulda
done that thing
then.
