@MajesticTOASTER

If you ever find any of Rives' poems published in print PLEASE let me know as well!

[MajesticTOASTER]

Does anyone know if this is published in hard copy somewhere?

[ali921812]

i like this guy he reminds me of my bro

[shantoy]

I love this, I love all his poems, I love him. Is he married? I wanna marry him, will he marry me?

7 people boiled in the molten lopovapa

[mfl728]

All his poems are awesome, and his tonality is just "icing on the cake"

[tahjmahogany]

I love the Def Poetry Jam version of Op Talk. The audience seems stifffff....ew

[xn6]

Rives has made me realise there's no level above sentimentality, it just gets more sophisticated

[PoopyPantyPoop]

His poem was amazing

but am I the only one who is bothered about the black eyed peas playing right before he speaks

[hope4candy]

So. Good.

[thawesomeMster]

I like this version better than the one he did on def. poetry jams. the extended tells the story better. but on this one he doesn't scream and cuss as much. but it's still good.

[Gondring]

@thawesomeMster -- It's better in part because it's not screaming and cussing, but is quality.

[JustACountryGirl623]

thats so awesome :)

[dellboy177]

[willtaraluvr90]

Rives is a fucking genius. That is all. Good day.

[BenInSJ]

I actually think the condensed version of this poem from Def Poetry is a little more effective.

[yareiza]

Agreed. <3

[Koribaby1]

I disagree. I think the condensed version feels too rushed. Cuts out too much for me. =@

[patbus23]

AMAZING!

[K2heartsbrodway]

i love this poem rives is so cool. i luv him .

[lulinajim]

he is THE BEST!!!!!!!! <3 LUV HIM!!

[SexiiPrincessKathy]

[ghostwritten87]

[mikehead]

[Emeraldz1992]

i love that v personal line, "maybe her husband got drunk one night and accidentally ate part of our relationship" it just really allows you an insight.

We didn't have that magnet. Wish I could have those years back.

This was beautiful

[wilippa]

not comedy... poetry! if you don't get it, you never will.

[elmo10inch]

thats pretty mean 2 say, people learn...

[HonestySavesLies]

Aaaw! thats so sweet! My sister and I had a magic written language when we were kids, it was kind of like runes though, we couldn't speak it. I wouldn't be surprised if we still made one up today though, at 20 and 22 we're still just little kids.

[burningsands667]

my family is part cherokee

[tlodo]

i miss my sisters

[moali505]

this makes my childhood seem boring and my relationship with my sisters less of a relationship but hey im rich bitch! (rich in color)

[utube12121212]

beautiful. so sweet and meaningful.

[moongazer]

ohhh. man. makes me miss my family.

he's really amazing, and endearing, and incredible to watch.

[orsheborshe]

ohh I miss my sisster & brother! thank you!

[sexysassyandlovely69]

Nice...thanks for the laughs...reminds me of my childhood when we used other similar languages, such as pig latin "AY" and key languages...great stuff!

[randompalindrome]

I want me and my brother to learn it but i think that it may put a stop to our occationally intence debated.

Me and my friend started speaking backwards but it took quite a long time and a number of repeatitions to get a sentence out.

[hydelockjan]

This is so beautiful. I was laughing midway and then... when he said, Maybe her husband got drunk one night and accidentally ate part of our relationship...

But I'm lucky I guess, I still have the number of the very first person I've ever adored..

Man, I cried.

I miss my brother.

[Dthunder2]

It's op before each vowel, this is me and my friends secret language one of us learned about it and we have used it ever since.
