  • I love Mos Def. And Def Jam poetry.Sometimes it's hard for me to understand what people are referring to when they use a completely different term to address it. I'm just not sure what the "poem" represented. I thought it was a man at first, but I really don't know.

  • Nikki writes with the use of personification and her deliverance of the poem was outstanding.

    -Lequeria West

  • wow... I loved the delivery of the poem because of her use of a poem as a character that resembles the life of an African american.

    -Amina S.

  • Her poem is simply inspiring and well-addresses the different aspects of people's lives through the personification of a poem.

  • I love the way she addresses every facet of the African American life, and uses that throughout her poem. She addresses these things without being morose and because of that I enjoyed it even more.

  • This poem shows the genius work of Nikki Giovanni. She personifies a poem and puts it in situations that you do not notice it is in. It is unique how she tells of a voice that you do not realize it already has.

  • In the next poem I love the way she wrote a poem about a poem! This was such an inspiring poem, I don’t feel poems should be long; they should be short sweet and to the point and that is exactly what Nikki Giovanni poems does. -gebria b

  • I agree with Norissa's comment.

  • I love the personification of the poem in this poem. I feel like she is just saying that poems have a personality of their own, but that it's just the personality that person writing it has.

  • Pretty deep, she's great at what she does!
