Writing Excercise

Here's a writing exercise we did in my Performance Poetry Class a while back.
We had to create a poem out of questions.

I just wrote a string of poetic questions that have nothing to do with each other.

Why does she give birth to more children than sonnets?
When did we become more like ants than gorillas?

Why do we enslave ink in our pens and then put them on the auction block of paper?
Why are our heads filled with brains instead of hearts?

Why must I walk in your shoes to know your story wouldn't it be better to walk in your skin?
Why does it matter how many colors are in the rainbow when we don't appreciate them equally anyway?

How many poets does it take to screw in a light bulb? None because they're too busy writing about its former luminescence.

im flipping through the channels and they have a whole segment dedicated to Gabby Sidibe weight smh...


Are you intimidated by her roles or her rolls
Just cuz your skinny butt can't act and you're wack
Gabby is taking it to new levels while you're stuck on the same one
Why are you hating on your fellow colored woman
I love it when an intelligent black woman is on my TV screen
So what's up with the attitude? what do you mean...
smh? shaking your head? 
You should be clapping instead
Really surprised at you necolebitchie
I guess this is why Gabby's way more richie
