Poetri doing DATING MYSELF on Def Poetry

[@Poetri]

I used to AND still do go to the movies by myself ALLLLLLLLLL THE TIME! I just went to see Superman by myself two days ago.

[@ukwezi]

Can I come along now?

[@accentplaya18]

This may be one of the most relatable poems for a majority of ppl in this world. It takes someone who is truly mature (and still single) to understand that this poem is for those without another but they have themselves. AMAZING!

[@Poetri]

You can get a written copy in a book called Def Poetry Jam on Broadway and much more. OR you can google dating Myself Poetri and I am sure I saw a written copy of it online somewhere.

[@karryjohnson3261]

I always loved your work especially your piece on "money".

[@Poetri]

Thank you

[@mskillebaby]

[@moneytaco4382]

[@Poetri]

You know that's right!

[@LG2875]
