Big ups to Poetri and all the artists on def poetry jam who like him understand how gifted they are and use their gift to make society think and question....thank you
I've been watching video after video trying to come up with the perfect comment to post lol! I think you're the kind of poet that I want to be. I'm loving what you're doing! You bring that high browed humor (as my nephew calls it) with every poem with a bonus message. Your are an inspiration. You're blessed and you bless others with every poem. Thank you man!
Dude, this poem makes me smile every time I listen to it. Idk if its just the quality of this poem, or if it takes me back to the time that I first heard it, but I love this era of when def poetry was going on. I miss this.
You are one of the handful of guys I can use to teach poetry units and my highschoolers LOVE you. Thanks for sharing your talent and making it so accessible and clean!
you came to my elementary school in torrance california over 10 years ago, you really showed a young me how poetry is a true vessel for expounding emotion and feeling from an individual. I remember your wife was there and you recited "nigerian queen" for her. I just wanted to let you know that I appreciate what you did for us kids that day and that you've made me a firm believer in the sheer strength and power poetry can posess, and the fact that it adds a great dynamic of beauty to the world.
Man this guy is extremely dope and his knowledge sneaks up on you through his craft. As a hip hop artist I would love to try and take this and use it in my own craft
That was an awesome poem Poetri. I am an aspiring poet and watching all these different great poems by you and others is really helping me improve my work. I'm discovering new ways and styles of writing and it's just so amazing. If you could, I have some videos of my work and I'd really appreciate it if you checked them out and gave me some feedback. Keep doing what you do best!!!
This was another good one I love the twist you take on your love of food as a monster...its funny yet profound...Im inspired to start writing my pieces again because of your vids
Good stuff Poetry: entertaining while still having a positive message. You took care of giving folk what they want and need at the same time! Bravo bruh Hymn
I watched this in class, and now I’m gonna watching it again cause I like it so much and I want to understand every single meaning behind it. And I also can’t stop thinking of Gabbie Hanna’s song “monster” *WhAt iF iM a MoNsTerrRRrRRrr*
This was very beautiful poem and i loved it, ive come to realized i have monsters in my heart but im getting help from the people around me and have gotten better at controlling them. Thank you for the poem, it has really encouraged me. :)
Poetri, you are the ish an then some. You have depth & truth covered in humour I can't ask for more from a poet keep doing your thing. Oh and do you have any plans to perform here in London?
Love this poem, I can relate too man. I've got monsters in my stomach too, I wear a 3XL and am only 16 haha. I recommend shopping at Casual Male XL, where the smallest size is an XL. Then no kids will take all the big sizes. You're a great poet, and you've definitely made me feel better
First of all Becca, I love you, too. I love the profile pic. I love your comment and I love I love I love. Thank you. You have made my night. This poem is in a book called Def Peotry Jam on Broadway and more AND you can also buy the audio recording of it (if you like) on Reverbnation . com
@Poetri I get what you are saying to him however age shouldn't be a measure of maturity and intelligence. I am 15 and a big fan of your poems. Keep it up man.
Big ups to Poetri and all the artists on def poetry jam who like him understand how gifted they are and use their gift to make society think and question....thank you

Thank you, Jason. Yea…these were some good times. I appreciate you. Thank you!
i like how Petri's poetry seems funny/not serious, and at the same time has the underlining part, that talks about serious issues.
my teacher showed us this video in class. i love it. :)
The only way you can describe his poems is amazing.
My new favourite modern poet. Much love from the UK!
I love it. Monsters in the ears. I keep reading this comment back and back and back...thanks Ross. I love it.
