poetry`

There are many forms of poetry, free verse which is you write whatever you feel,And haiku japenese poem. My favorite type of poem is free verse because there is no rules for me to follow just for me to express my self as i feel. One of the most obvious form of poetry is rap. Rap was start in the 1970 in the bronx. One poem I like is Mother to Son.

Mother to Son by Langston Hughes

Well, son, I'll tell you:
Life for me ain't been no crystal stair.
It's had tacks in it,
And splinters,
And boards torn up,
And places with no carpet on the floor
Bare.
But all the time
I'se been a-climbin' on,
And reachin' landin's,
And turnin' corners,
And sometimes goin' in the dark
Where there ain't been no light.
So, boy, don't you turn back.
Don't you set down on the steps.
'Cause you finds it's kinder hard.
Don't you fall now
For I'se still goin', honey,
I'se still climbin',
And life for me ain't been no crystal stair.
