[@ChaithraChaithra-cd7xz]

SUPER👍👏👌 BECAUSE I AM ALSO BLACK

[@fabioparra2711]

Omg

[@u7617]

I like poetry, but why do poets have to act as though they're crying or fighting when they recite their poems. Why do they have to shout and get aggressive? I just dont get it and would like someone to explain because It seems inauthentic to me, like dramatic and takes away from the poem. I am open to learning so ppls dont be harsh with me in the comments

[@fashekcmb9927]

As a poet when writing I write what I feel it's through words that I release my emotions so it's the same case when reciting..I have to let my audience feel the words..so at a point where am to get aggressive I will if the words are sorrowful then it's in that manner I'll express myself

Jesus Christ is coming and Jesus loves you let’s turn to Jesus Christ
