Like Orville Reddenbacher I make poetry pop,
not like the weasel. I’m an artist. The page is my easel
My pen's a brush, my strokes are powerful. Watch me paint lines
That ruminate, devastate, break hearts and blow minds
Now you’re in shock, you brain’s on lock, shut down with writer's block
Your rhymes are dull, so you be scissors. I'll be paper and rock
Sit back, relax, don't try to ask, now my flow will commence
You can't comprehend the movement when I let my muse dance
[I'll school you now on credit, you can pay later,
My pen's a metaphorical saber, and I am Vader
My poetic device is sublime and ice smooth
So Let your mind slip in my vocabulary groove]
Take a lesson. Your prose is chaotic. Sometimes robotic.
Put my rhymes on a flag, I'll have you feeling patriotic
Excuse my audacity, and capacity for perspicacity
Yeah, you heard me right. Confused? Check your opacity.
Use free verse or sonnet, retourne, haiku, rictameter
I’ll pummel your stanzas with my iambic pentameter
I'll be Tweety, you'll be Sylvester, your words will fall down go boom
If you don't survive this battle, I'll write pantoum for your tomb
[I'll school you now on credit, you can pay later,
My pen's a metaphorical saber, and I am Vader
My poetic device is sublime and ice smooth
So Let your mind slip in my vocabulary groove]

Well I can believe your poetic device. I also pick up on the feeling of how much you love to write. It a passion and obsession. The written word calls out your name. This is very inspiring. I see a added depth that one does not see often. It get one revived up to write.Thanks for reading my work. I got to read such a wonderful write. This is very well played out in the written word. The overall feel is great.

Great!
It is certainly interesting. Unique. Some places( despite the lack of rhyme )could flow better)
-
Well isn't this sublime, words running from your mind like hammers to a dime. I know your kind, you run the neighbors rampant with your musical lines, let the fury run past the judges bench lest he set his posse with serious intent.
I like it, I like it so.

I like the opening line. I think this is perhaps what one calls "slam"? It seems this poem owes a lot to rap.
-
Well done.
This was pretty much what I was looking for in this contest. I wish there were more like it.
It was clever with excellent rhyme and word usage.
The only thing in the negative would be how weasel just popped in, pun intended, to go with easel.
The poetic references were a plus. Top notch stuff. RED

Oh man this is the most amazing thing to ever be amazing.
I love it.
I love it so hard it hurts. And it hurts so good.

Now this is rap of a different tune! Excellent lyrics ... even including a rap challenge of poetic forms. Very clever ... very gangsta! Good luck in the contest. JB♥

well the answer is yes, this writer can rap,
leave us all in a rhetorical trap,
cause no way to make a key board clap;
so while i sit an find myself a-maze
imagine most of AP completely in a-daze
I say hey this is not just a craze...
they sell stuff with this on tv... nowadays.
Excellent, PK
