Def Poetry...Womb Style

I started this school year with poetry from HBO's series Def Poetry Jam.  Call it "gangster poetry," call it "street poetry," call it "slam poetry."  Whatever you call it, there's no denying that it's poetry--seriously powerful poetry.

Franny was especially moved by the last poem we analyzed today: "Knock Knock" by Daniel Beaty.  I could feel him jumping around throughout the performance, but especially at the end.  Can you blame him?



Franny has such soul.
