We Real Cool

"We Real Cool” by Gwendolyn Brooks was one poem that I did not like.  I thought that it was really pointless, mainly because of how short it was.  The lines were extremely short and the poem itself was short as well.  Another thing I did not like about this poem was the positioning of the words.  “We” was at the end of the line, rather than the beginning, and this whole poem just bothers me.  It seems to be a poem about that “living fast, dying young” lifestyle, but it’s just so boring.  It does not reflect living a fast, exciting life at all.
