I’ve been poetry writing for 4 years now. Everyday I grow as a writer, I write on topics that people may relate to, I write to help escape my issues, I write to help understand what is happening in my mind. Gabbie has the ability to write. Poems like “Distance” was beautiful, and the illustrations she shows helps add more to her words. But then you turn the page to something like “Hot” where the first two lines feel like something till she ruins it with “or a vape pen” and turns it to nothing. Poems don’t have to be long to give the reader the meaning you want to show, sometimes two lines can be more powerful than a pageful of words, but the way Gabbie does it, it feels like something from her notes app that she came up with that kinda rhymed. More of a tweet she would probably post instead of a poem. I saw her book in the store the other day and I picked it up along with another called “Pillow Thoughts”, and the complete DIFFERENCE between the two. Different to the fact you can see which one carried emotions and truth and one that carried empty words. Gabbie can write, but she chooses to make a “funny” joke instead of something that works.

I miss the constant trilingual flexing.

[@carolinehartig3977]

here's one: all the critics seem to say my poetry only gets in the way of people with real talent and even when i've tried my hardest they say i'll never be an artist so could i please just stop

[@iambored5585]

Better than all of the poems in her book

[@acolygirl6425]

her book is oddly similar to rupi kaur's. like thats what she was going for, even the theme and title and different sections. and the illustrations omg

[@nerdzone7495]

Gabby hanna looks like my 50 year old auntie, both sound like smokers when they talk/sing

[@hollyg.5516]

I saw this book at Walmart and backed into some poor old lady in shock :(

[@bananerr]

I saw it in Target and had to do a double take

[@Alison-og4xz]

The fact that Gabbie attacked Rachel Oats for her video critiquing her poetry without once insulting her and didn’t think to mention the people who actually are insulting her..... great video tho!

[@zoemalcolm2699]

The Middle Poem. When James was talking about it and correcting her and everything it made tears come to my eyes, when he said ‘it’s not weak people who say goodbye, it’s strong people’ I don’t know why but I felt like giving him a hug and it might be because I’ve tried to leave before but his videos helped me stay and idk

[@OwenRobinsonn]

Nobody: Absolutely nobody: James: Still doing gabby Hannah videos.

[@OwenRobinsonn]

@Tyra Nelson ye James videos are sick but that doesn’t change the fact I still get nightmares off the what if I’m a monster song

Nothing can top : Time is relative Beauty is relative Family is relatives -gabbie Hanna

[@sophomorescenekid1015]

I think Gabbie should work on a shorter, maybe like 50 page poetry book. Then she can spend more time on each poem

[@Johanna-vt6wm]

Her poems are literally me shit posting every single thought that comes to my mind on Twitter

[@katelijnhovestad8382]

This like to dislike ratio is actually insane, good job james!!

[@AstroLeah]

"It's not weak people that say goodbye- it's strong people"... That hit me way too hard for a comedic video

[@rvieres]

her ''poetry'' book is literally my notes app if it was printed

[@aliceduren6542]

Gabby Hanna has had more hair colors than James has said he's trilingual.

[@thelonelymustard]

I cannot believe they killed trees for this

[@magsp5496]

i feel so tempted to rewrite a bunch of these poems because like, the concepts are interesting it's just that most of these sound like someone recording voice memos for a digital diary

[@smileigel2694]

I genuinely come back to this video like twice a month

[@Beau-Knight]

It feels like some of these poems are so bad they're pretty much memes. Most would be better placed in PewDiePie's "This Book Loves You" full of subversive dry humour

[@Fiemus9]

Ngl I actually love that book. And read it occasionally. Am I cringe? Lol

Did anyone else get an ad right after Cynic said "D A D D Y"

[@kevinkyu1]

Gabbie really thought that writing poetry is easy as 1-2-3. Haikus are quakingggg

[@Olivia-ek9ib]

Is it just me, or do half these "poems" read like minion memes thirty-year old suburban moms post on Facebook.

[@Mira-gl6zs]

am I the only one who would see something people say is a "poem" and be like.. that's literally just a sentence.

[@carment.duplessis9125]

I have this problem with Atticus especially where if you read it as a sentence suddebly it doesn't sound as poetic. But if you break up any sentence you can immediately make it more poignant.

[@KyranoSaurFlex]

This isn't a book, These are just tweets you pay to read. Actually I'd rather read jaden smiths tweets 🤔

[@idontknowsorry7621]

This gave me flashbacks of my "deep" poems i published on wattpad when i was 12

[@taltzi]

i like that he doesn't just shit all over her, but rather gives genuine criticism. he praises her when she deserves it, but also gives critique where critique is needed. also, such a good ending to the video, very pog james

[@Filthyslag]

Gotta love watching James Marriott who is trilingual in 2160p.

[@larapetrunis9635]

time is relative beauty is relative family... is relatives.

[@linanafie8571]

Her flight poem was actually better than what she generally does, it reminded me of something I had read in a book once "If our destiny is to eventually drown, then let us sink to the very bottom"
