Take a stanza from your favorite poet/artist and then write your own stanza, and ask your readers to compare the two, explaining why they liked one over the other. Test your mettle against famous writers or artists, if you dare! Don't give away who the other author is, nor which stanza is your own! BTW, tag me so I can see and weigh in on your entries!

Comparison

Stanza 1:

I come to church for the candy

Yo peppermints is the truth

I'm pessimistic on Mondays if I had tweaked and missed you.

You look so good with the hat on

Hadta match with the shoes

Got you covered in satin

I came and sat in ya pew.

I come to Christmas fa dinner

Fifty rolls on my plate

Hella holes in my stockings

Holdin ya pockets in place.

I like my love with a budget

I like my hugs with a scent.

You smell like light gas water electricity rent.

Looking like why the gospel choir got so tired.

Daily basis so I gotta face it had to try it.

You my dream team dream catcher team captain

Matta fact I ain't seen you in a minute

Gotta take my butt to church.!!!

Stanza 2

Don't come to church for the gospel

I go to church just for you.

I'on see you fa the week

Then I'on know what to do.

Hate to ask you for money

Hide the fact that I ain't got no mo shoes.

Cos every time I see you I'm feeling richer than jews

Like it don't matter what i got

I got you by my side

The devil demons can't come get me

When I got angels ta ride.

It's never no need

When i got you here to help

It ain't no heat in the house

And I can't get it myself

You make sure the lights they stay on

And the fridge it got stuff

Can come to ya house to sleep and eat

You always give me enough.

I go hungry so you can get ya toes done.

I wanna thank you for the blessings and that Christianly love.

It's been a minute since I seen you

Lemme take my butt to church.!!

Read both an let me know which you prefer. Give me reasons why you chose which one you did. This is actually a song not a poem.!!!! Comment comment comment.!!
