  • wth is a sharp sparkle?

  • i dont think this is supposed to be a poem.?

  • fuck

  • zzzzzzzzzzzzz.......

  • the poem is so awful ... she literally just reads the words! No feeling!

  • You would think a poet would read her own poem with a bit more passion. She read it like she didn't even know the meaning behind her own words.

  • That was painful to listen to. It's as if every word has a period in between them.

    This.Poem.Sucks.

  • Ive heard better poems from first graders she doesn't even know the poem you can see her pause to flip the page. I have nothing against poetry but that was terrible. She could ruin a cat in the hat book judging by the way she butchered that poem.
