We Real Cool
 by Gwendolyn Brooks

We real cool. We
Left school. We
Lurk late. We
Strike straight. We
Sing sin. We
Thin gin. We
Jazz June. We
Die soon.

 Response :

 My favorite line from this poem is, " We Sing Sin." It really caught my attention because what the author of the poem trying to say is that we sing all the bad things. So in a way it's saying we agree with it. For example, nowadays hip-hop songs are all about smoking, drinking, sex, etc. That is the "sin" referring to the poem that we are singing. I liked this poem because it was very straight forward and you understood the message it was sending to you.
