"We Real Cool" By: Gwendolyn Brooks

Mother's bury their young children and their friends’ talk, " He or she went out cool" but their dying to soon! Why? "We real cool" has a quite cool guess and asks the same question. "We real cool" is a poem by Gwendolyn Brooks. The poem actually has numerous topics that stand out. Short and straight to the point, the poem is practically 24 words long. Drop to the beat, the rhythms like a rap/poem that should win a Grammy. Hear me out reader it's DEEP! You will love the thought of the poem.
One reason I kick with the poem, "we real cool" is the length. The whole poem, 24 words, three words every sentence. Main word...we. The shortness of the poem represents short life. "We real cool" and "we die soon".
Beat, bop, and bam: The rhythm of the poem, it rhymes like a 2008 rap/poem by Common (lyrics). The repetition of it is so teenage tavie like, we this, we that! "We sing sin. We thin gin. We jazz June." we....
Last but not least the meaning of, "we real cool". It’s a warning, a choice between dying young and full of life or dying elderly and blessed. To the reader I leave you to choose either of the two. "We real cool" "we die soon".
The length short but straight. Looking at the rhythm you want to beat box. Meaning, very powerful. Leaving you the reader with nice, small words and sentences but such powerful message!
