anansi the spider

when i was younger, we would always have story time. i always enjoyed it because i love hearing the books that they would read to us. one story that i really loved and remembered for so long is Anansi the Spider. anansi the spider was a trickster and was one of the most important characters in West African and Carribean folklore. to me she was one of the best characters i've ever known. here's a video of the reading of one of the anansi's book.

some people don't realize that rappers and singers are p0ets. the only difference between them and regular poetry is the fact that they use music. one of my favorite rappers is Tupac. his lyrics were so deep to me and dis is one of his poems that i really enjoyed.


Did you hear about the rose that grew
from a crack in the concrete?
Proving nature's law is wrong it
learned to walk with out having feet.
Funny it seems, but by keeping its dreams,
it learned to breathe fresh air.
Long live the rose that grew from concrete
when no one else ever cared.
