This is proberly my favourite poem that we study at GCSE. I saw John Agard at poetry live this year are I thought that he was fantastic. It really helps to be able to listen to him read the poem as he puts real meaning into it with his voice. I would really recogmend poetry live to anyone who gets the chance whatever level you are working at. If you don't get the chance things like this on Youtube really do help!
i think this poem is really interesting - studying it in English
it's almost so friendly/lighthearted that it's spiteful.
i love how he compares half-caste to such simple things like the weather - drawing attention to how basic black and white is - only colours - and how childish it is to discriminate against them

I saw this man with a school trip a couple years ago in a poetry conference in Hull.
I respect the message in the poem but I also find the way it's written, etc. to have a comical value to it also. Especially the very last part of it, where he says:
"an I will tell yu
de other half
of my story."
