Biggest Fan
By DJ (Trey)
I would buy a ticket to your show,
Sit in the front row,
Stand up and cheer as you sing from your soul.
Catz may cry, dogs might bark,
but I’ll keep your ticket next to my heart.
If you was a dancer, I would pay for a dance even if you had one short leg.
I would keep my outfit in a Ziplock body bag, just to smell your fragrance.
If you paint, I would pose and buy them all at the art exposé.
I joke with you and laugh because Lord knows I got it bad.
I would pay top dollar for one more hit,
You are like a drug and my body wants its fix.
I got it bad, I got it bad, I know,
But can you sign these pictures, and say to my Biggest Fan?

Trey,
I love this poem for your metaphors and your stray from the cliche. You talk about this beautiful concept of bottomless admiration while dancing with ideas of morbidity like the deformed leg or body bag. It’s a really interesting way to express something otherwise incomprehensible; that overwhelming love that thrives for someone despite its unrequited nature, and the unending appreciation and support for that person nonetheless. I’m reminded by the line “I got it bad, I got it bad, I know, But can you sign these pictures, and say to my Biggest Fan?” of someone in my life. I can acknowledge the hold that she has on me, her biggest fan, and though it’s difficult sometimes feeling like a mere fan, one can’t help but to feel starstruck nonetheless.
Thank you for sharing.
This is really nice!
Very nice job with the poem. It’s a really sweet poem. Now, I’m going to guess that you’re from the south due to the language. The only thing that I found strange was the z on catz. It looks weird next to the correct spelling of dog. I would put cats instead of catz.
I like how you express your love for the person this is intended for. “I would keep my outfit in a Ziplock body bag, just to smell your fragrance.” This line shows how deeply in love and connected you want to be. keep writing you have great talent.
Hey DJ I really like the wording of your poem and how different it is from the others I read today. Reading this made it feel like the greatest love story that could be written. I really love the creativeness you use for the Ziplock bag part because smell is a big thing for us as people. Depending on the smell it can help us remember very nostalgic things for us. It can help us remember the ones that we truly love.
I really liked this poem, and it told a great story. It is very intriguing to hear about your love and kindness for this love of yours. Keep up the great work, you are doing great! I believe in you.
Interesting perspective! although a lot of people seem to be infatuated with celebrities in a fairly superficial and one-sided way, this poem adds details and nuance to the poet’s affection.
Hello,
I really liked how inspirational this felt. The words in this poem really made the feeling more lively and I felt the feelings from the message you were getting across. When reading it over and over again, it keeps getting better and better through the tone of the poem. Well done!
Great poem. This made me smile. How lucky are they to have such a big fan!?!
DJ,
I can feel the enticing nature of your words. You express you fixation and love. Love can be so powerful! I hope you find the love that inspires you in life. Keep writing!
Hi Trey,
I absolutely love this poem. For the longest time I never had anyone I felt that way about or had anyone that felt that way about me. Until I met my boyfriend, we will be together for a year next month. I am his biggest fan and every word you used in your poem I feel for him. All the extremes you feel that you thought you never would. It’s really crazy to think that you can feel that way about someone in real life and it’s not like a feeling in the movies. I loved this poem! It’s really descriptive, keep going!
This poem is honestly amazing. This reminds me of the relationships between my father and I. He was my best friend, I was glued to his side. He made me feel like a person and he was the light of my life, but unfortunately he passed away when I was 15 (I am now 18). I relate to this because I would give anything to see him just one more time or to just give him a huge hug. I love the line “ You are like a drug and my body wants its fix.” This reminds of how my dads love and laughter was my medicine and now I’m ill without it. This poem really shows that everyone goes through loss of any kind and everyone feels pain. Thank you for this poem, its beautiful.
Hi Trey,
I really enjoyed reading your poem! It is so sweet and uplifting to hear how you feel about this person. You did a great job of expressing how you feel while also telling a story at the same time. I also loved your use of metaphors and rhyming which did a great job at helping the poem flow. Lastly, I really enjoyed how you tied the ending to the beginning!! Keep it up!
I can relate to this poem very well as I have always been a fan of music and enjoy going to concerts. However, this experience is linked to something not musical so the experience changes. The imagery of drugs changes the perception of the poem very well after starting out very positive. I love this metaphor and it creates a very interesting concept. It allows something difficult to describe to be expressed very well. The Poem could also be used to express extreme love and devotion by describing yourself as a biggest fan. I really enjoyed reading this.
The poetic excitement in this literature is fascinating and thrilling. The feeling and joy from being a fan of someone you look up to or admire are common, but uncommon to see some describe it through poetry.
This poem was very lighthearted and made me feel good. They should be really lucky to have such a great fan!
The support you are giving to this person is powerful. It is important to verbalize your support because it can often go unsaid even if it is present. Not only do you make it clear that you would support them in any endeavor, it is also clear that you will support them no matter what.
This poem does a great job of capturing how falling in love can make someone another’s “biggest fan!” I found this poem incredibly sweet. It seems as though the author would support their partner in any way they can in whatever they chose to do, which is such an amazing trait for someone to have! Love is so beautiful and can show itself in many different forms! Being your partner’s biggest fan is the best thing you could do for them. It is important for people to feel seen and supported in their careers or even in their hobbies, so supporting them in every way you can is so important and special to people. This poem is lovely!
Upon reading this poem, I immediately thought of the song “Paparazzi” by Lady Gaga since the poem is in the perspective of a fan, hence the title. It’s just enough so that it shows how much of a fan the person is, but they’re not creepy.
i loved this poem, it brought out the excitement you feel at a show, the deep emotions you feel in a crowd and watching the artist perform. i also liked the humor “i would pay for a dance even if you had one short leg”, it reflects the love you have for the performer. it also has a sense of mystery as to who the performer is, the poem feels especially intimate, perhaps a friend or family member.
The writer jokes that they have it bad for the artist and compares their love to a drug that their body wants more of. They ask the artist to sign some pictures and call them their “biggest fan.” Overall, the poem shows how much the writer admires and cares for the artist. Even if the artist wasn’t a good dancer, the writer would still pay to see them dance. They even talk about wanting to smell the artist’s fragrance.
I love the excitement and support this person receives from you. Throughout my reading, I wondered if it was about a daughter, a lover, or maybe even a celebrity. This poem could have lots of different directions and I love the creativity and passion in it.
I love your poem dj (tray) by lil boy j
