[kimberlyatownsend]

I teach 9th grade English in North Carolina. I shared "I Can't Read" with my students and they cheered when it was over. I appreciate your rawness. Keep doing poetry that is real, and thanks for poetry that I can show in the classroom.

[LamontCarey1]

@kimberlyatownsend wow. I will do my best. :) If there is any interest in me coming out to your school, feel free to contact Ms. Woodard and email at: lacareymanagement yahoo com

@LamontCarey1 I'm from a small town in Indiana called Hope. You ever do any poetry in Indiana?

[LamontCarey1]

@my1L0ve1 No. I haven't been out that way yet. Maybe that will change in the very near future.

[jessicascorpio1]

If this is true..then, I am sorry for your loss.

[LamontCarey1]

@PrvataDama Thank you sooooo much. I guess one way you can help with more people seeing it is share it with others. Thanks

[my1L0ve1]

@LamontCarey1 I like reading and writing poetry, I was on YouTube watching a poem from Def Poetry and your poem "I Can't Read" was suggested. I watched it and really enjoyed your passion. All of your poems on here are full of meaning and you convey it amazingly

[LamontCarey1]

@my1L0ve1 thank youuuuuuuuuuu. Where are you from?

[my1L0ve1]

Man, I'm 17 and have no notion of what it means to be a father, or even deal with the trauma of a stillborn child, but every time I hear one of your poems I feel the meaning. The emotion and effort you put into your work is inspiring and encouraging. I wish you the best of luck.

[LamontCarey1]

@my1L0ve1 wow. Thanks. I am glad my work is able to help you connect to something you have never experienced! You maybe one of those youngers with an old soul. It is a pleasure to have you as a friend and fan. So how did you find out about my work?

[LamontCarey1]

@GanjaQueen3 I don't know why i asked you again! LOL. I have to visit Croatia! I know nothing of the arts scene. You may have to give me some points if u r familiar.

[GanjaQueen3]

@LamontCarey1 Trust me, arts scene is terrible over here. You can come to Croatia only if you want to spend your vacation at the coast. LOL!

[LamontCarey1]

@GanjaQueen3 LOL

[LamontCarey1]

@GanjaQueen3 Thank youuuuuuu! where are you from?

[jacosgirl]

@lamontcarey  i will look into the series but u say they all connect n i just wtached the addiction one but im not sure in which order they go, unless what u had told me was in the right order...

[LamontCarey1]

@jacosgirl there isn't any certain order. the trailers are different areas that the one show covers.

[jacosgirl]

yah for sure ill spread the word trust me on that. even if i like it or not, im sure someone else will like it if i dont. im doin very well today besides the rain thank you and yourself? but is there like part 1 etc cuz i seen one about addicts but im not wsure if they all go together or how it works exactly :)

[LamontCarey1]

@jacosgirl Hopefully you like it. LOL. You can look at the one that says "Laws Of The STREET Real Trailer". All of them are connected. I am just showing the many topics or issues that we will confront. The show is about community, family, and how they impact the decisions children and adults make. It is a very emotional show. We touch on grandparents raising children, addiction, education, hope, determination, parenting, etc.

[jacosgirl]

for sure ill be checkin it out, hopefully it'll continue to be on here. since im not in the states im not sure if it;s on the t.v there or anything. continue to dream n do it big!

[LamontCarey1]

@jacosgirl I'm sorry. How are you today? It's on here. If you look on my channel or put my name in the search, it will come up. It is not on TV yet. I am trying to build on the buzz. So, if you like it, I would love for you to tell others to check it out.

[jacosgirl]

lmao my bad.. umm do you mean the laws of the streets? if u have i have only started to see some of it on here.

[LamontCarey1]

@jacosgirl Yup that was what I was talking about.

[jacosgirl]
