ACROHYMNS: C.L.O.W.N.
Dope ass poetry that makes you say hallelujah
So I was gonna start my hiatus from all the things (including the Stack) today, but then I saw Jamal Robinson latest rassclot post with his wonderful muddascuntin poetry…
…And I was immediately inspired to write one as well.
I’ve coined the term ACROHYMNS for a special collection of poems I’ve been writing that are a combination of ACRONYMS and throw yo hands in the air and PRAISE poetry.
Enjoy

In the court of school, I played the fool.
I jested so I wouldn’t joust.
All my life I had to fight weaker minds
so I played the C.L.O.W.N.
Had them laughing in surround sound
to drown out the bells of my success.
I comedically finessed progress,
carefully made their jealousy dissuade
any serious sabotage until it was too late.
Till they found out my song,
my dance,
my hilarious game I used to entertain,
Was distraction till my crown had been placed.
See yall after my hiatus!



Well hell.
Your affirmations more than I can ask for but sharing my work like this means a hell of a lot 😭
And these bars! "I jested so I wouldn’t joust."
This felt like a nice dance between our pieces.
