As a black man and a spider advocate/defender, ARE YOU KIDDING MEEEE????🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 WORD FOR WORD BAR FOR BAR

[@thecosmicblueautie]

The poem was great, but the way it ended? Chef's kiss!

[@ButtonPoetry]

Ha! Dead on!

[@ToshiJ89]

Rudy absolutely kills it every time
(So he gets a pass on the candy corn comment) lol

[@ButtonPoetry]

Hahahaha 🤣

[@soliloquiesbyshailja5416]

To the left to the left had me 😂
Candy corn is illegal
Guns at walmart
Drones in place of police force
Volcano game
Adrenaline rush
APARTHEID still is there
freeing up the spider was so sane at the end
Damn this was so good 💯 .

[@ButtonPoetry]

Thank you!!!!

Friend: Why aren't there more blacks in the X Games?
Rudy: You just don't get it!
"Being Black is the most extreme sports in America! We don't have to invent new ways of risking out lives. The old ways have been working for decades."
Thank you Rudy! 💎❤🎉

She asks me to kill the spider. Instead, I get the most peaceful weapons I can find.
I take a cup and a napkin. I catch the spider, put it outside and allow it to walk away.
She asks me "Why?", I say, "If I am ever caught in the wrong place at the wrong time, just being alive and not bothering anyone,
I hope I am given the same kind of mercy.”

This inspires me to keep writing my own unique poetry/slam poetry. Good stuff my man

[@GXE_WAISTBEADS]

Ouuuuu, I remember the first presentation of this poem. You’ve grown soooo much! Been my favorite poet, still my favorite poet. ❤

[@ButtonPoetry]

Wow, thank you!

[@wildgr33n]

such a good re-do of this poem!!!

[@ButtonPoetry]

Right? I love this version.

[@rosegoald]

Yes. It was amazing ❤

[@loralaidig5361]

[@wildgr33n]

I'm also someone that likes to do multiple versions of the same piece of art lol

[@LaShonda072484]

To whom this may concern! How do you go about submitting your poetry work for this channel?

[@whatis.afairy]

The way how I understand it, you have to be a member to be featured unless there's a competition and you happen to win it. Hope this helped!

[@ButtonPoetry]

Thank you Ty and great question LaShonda.
Winning helps, and being one of authors helps but just competing at national and regional poetry slams is another way on. Next week we'll be running video from WOWPS 2023 which happened in Baltimore at the end of last month.
We'll be running the winner but also most of the finalists and many other poets we were lucky enough to film while we were there.
