What the hell is going on?

[mavriksfan11]

My first thought, which was only confirmed by the rest of this awesome poem, was that this guy is the actual Riddler.

[ilovelanguage]

Great work, Robbie- you are very talented

[Horstimausibaerchen]

he performed this in marburg, germany a few days ago. liked the other poems better, probably because dropping american comedian names doesn't really work in germany^^ he's great anyway.

[RobbieQTelfer]

@Horstimausibaerchen yeah, there was no way around that. still, it's a message i believe in, so i was stuck!

[oranjerin]

Amazing... My tutor Christina Frigo showed this to us in our creative writing class and I was spellbound. You made me fall in love with slam poetry!

[crsaxton]

@oranjerin Thanks! Where is your class? I'm sure Robbie would love to hear about this. I'll let him know!

[elthumbz]

[crsaxton]

@ilLcoKocTioN Robbie is super good about responding to stuff on Facebook. Try finding him there!

[ilLcoKocTioN]

@crsaxton thanks I'll try that.

I'm not gunna lie and say this wasn't kind of depressing, but that was intense. I have been writing poetry for quite some time and its hard just to even stand up and read it, but just seeing you stand up and say your stuff is motivation for me to say mine. Thank you.

[JesseQuick23]

I really enjoy slam poetry and I have to say this is one of the most powerful performances I have ever seen. It's trully original and I thank you for it Robbie.

[majinlestat]

What...the...fuck... I don't even have words to express what I just watched, heard, felt. Robbie Q is such a bad ass, a poet, and he's not afraid of the truth, and the ugly nature of it.

[nbrennanr]

This is fucking awesome.

[RobbieQTelfer]

it's pretty sweet that the big bird video i reference in the poem comes up as a suggested video over there--->

[crsaxton]

@RobbieQTelfer How do they even do that?? Does it transcribe the text of what you're saying? Compootor magickssssss.

[davidpmacdonald]

amazing....opened my eyes to the other side of stand-up

[killakev128]

i was there and that was awesome
