April is National Poetry Month so I decided to search for poems on the Bronx.  Instead of finding poems, the first thing I came across was this amazing 13 year old girl from the Bronx named Kioni Marshall aka Popcorn.

Check out these two amazing videos that were featured in the Daily News last year:
