My Poem and Song BrokenDown

So, one of our posts was supposed to be our favorite poem and another post had to be our favorite song. Now, long before this assignment was given I had already posted my favorite poem, and a song, although not my favorite, but up in the top 3. So for my third post, I decided to briefly analyze "why" they were both chosen.

I love the poem web of love. When I first got topgether with my girlfriend, I liked to write her poetry and leave it on her bed, so when she would come home, she would read it right away. It was a nice way to end off a long day. Now, another month or two go by and I am ready to write another. I came up with this idea about how it would be so cool to speak of how our lives have weaved together into this web. This web would be a web of love. I started to write my edition and then looked online for some word help and noticed someone had wrote a poem, "Web of Love." I dont know who wrote it but it was the most beautiful thing I have read and it was perfectly made for what I wanted to say. So I printed the poem and told my girl that someone must have wrote this for us, because I could have not done a better job explaining how I felt. Thank you unknown poet for writing a perfect poem and one I will never forget.

As for the song, I happened to hear it back in the early part of 2001. I thought it was one of the most creative and message sent songs that I have heard in a while. There are not many rap/hip-hop songs out there that were sending messages at the time. Before I heard that song, the last good messeage was, "Brenda's got a baby", by TuPac Shakur. Since then, "Jesus Walks", by Kanye West was another good one. Rap music started with messages, especially positive ones being sent out to the community, and then it started speaking about some BS like jewels, money, woman, and a bunch of other things that "New" money bought them. When the lyrics are written in such a way that they flow perfectly and also have something to say, the music then becomes "Pure Poetry" just like the song by Freddro Starr below.
