@subtle veldt i made many updates to this. lmk if u want me to post the original version

[subtle veldt]

I wanna see both ofc ✌️ nothing compares to a write orginal work (but ngl in my orhinally I do spell alot of words wrong)

OMG, this peak i like the way u compare his skin to brown sugar, 😭 I never heard someone use such a similie to describe black beauty

[sinful rover]

Wonderful! @subtle veldt has just progressed to level 1!

original

[placid tinsel]

like i wanted to express his caribbean identity in a way that's significant

and also i wanted to positively speak about his blackness as this poem is about who i hope to be as an adult

i feel like my poetry is for the black men and women who needed a medium to represent their uniqueness

[subtle veldt]

I see, ur great at building a personality for yourself that fits ur oldtimey jazz asstic, it works well with ur poetry centered around colored people, I enjoy hearing it u remind me of Langston hughes

[placid tinsel]

i need to read his poetry because some people have said i remind them of him😭

[subtle veldt]

U are him bro 😭

But better lowk, cus he's a Lil overrated

[placid tinsel]

adult zion is jazzier, handsome, creative, and well off 💪🏿

[subtle veldt]

I belive in that bro

[placid tinsel]

i still got more peaks to reach as poet but thank u so much 😭

[subtle veldt]

[placid tinsel]

[subtle veldt]

[placid tinsel]

[subtle veldt]

[placid tinsel]

[subtle veldt]
