The craziest and shortest poem I have ever heard!!!





War Of Words (Slam Poetry Competition) Season 1 was fun-filled, exciting and thrilling all the way to the last performance on stage. 

I heard poetic pieces that made me smile, some poems made me sober, some were thrilling and a few were simply marvelous.

But one poem stood out, why, you may ask. Well, it was short and crazy. The poet left everyone in the venue waiting eagerly for the next verse as he walked off the stage. Men, "Me likey likey plenty plenty"!!! 

Watch the video below and tell me what you think.

WOW is a spoken word poetry competition which was organized with the aim of discovering and showcasing young and up-coming spoken word poets.
War Of Words Season 2 will start off from September 2013.
If you can kiss words and make them dance, then this is your chance.

#WarOfWords - EXTRATERRESTRIAL by Seye La Poet

Some win some
Some loose some
But, I win all
Infact! that's my objective in every war
So, War Of Words cannot be an exception
And to all my competitors...please, wait at the reception

You see I know success like the very hair on my chest
Even the best of the best say I'm the best
So, whilst so are worked up on how to win
I'm relaxed sipping metaphors and punch lines like a cup of tea

Make no mistake
I'm in this to win
Even if Olulu and his team are members of PDP

Make no mistake 
I'm in this to win
I'm extraterrestrial
Not a human being
