    It. makes. me. embarrassed. to. be. a. poet.

  • Good lord woman! I guess it was prophetic to the doom that lay ahead.

  • listening. - to. - her. - weird. - delivery. - is. -almost. - painful.

  • please don't even try to defend this poem. it's just terrible. period.

  • I understand why people don't like this poem, Praising the daily nonsensical things each and everyone does!? might not sound like much, but it is what get things done, or bridges build. I found it really clever. I wish though about that. :)

  • Happy President's Day, here on YOUtube is our tribute to the beautiful story of Barack Obama's parents: IMAGINE by The Robin and The Lady Poet (Erica Miriam Fabri and Robin Andre)
