Jslambert Mister Roboto Poet Prose Poetry

Changed My Underwear,------- and My Name

I
change my name 
like 
underwear...
fairly often, I suppose

I 
change my clothes 
like 
area codes
and Imma' damn gypsy, ya' see

I 
keep it fresh ta' death
nada
speck of blood
or 
ketchup on my attire

I 
got more rhymes 
than I got grey hairs
and 
that's an effing lot
because i got my share

I 
digg a 
hot-fire piece of passionate verse
those are 
indeed 
rare to find

YET...
if  only poets would 
unleash the fury 
instead of 
holding back
what's really 
on their mind...

I must say...
the library, 
the internet, 
the etc. etc...
would be a less stinky place...
AND, maybe 
I'd keep my name, and sever ties with 
underwear's elastic,
and just go 
APE-Spit Spastic!~

Eileen Manassian June 26, 2014 at 12:31 PM This is some fine poetry here! I must say...that title was more than I could take and I had to have a read. You sure know how to capture interest. Yes, I'm a gypsy too, and I write passionate poetry. I guess you missed Mistress May I. Thanks for the visits today.

Kabuteng P.Ink K. June 17, 2014 at 7:42 AM oh btw, I saw that comment you made in your double comment-- yup! Methinks someone is telling you that you have been missed, that you should double time in writing ;)

Kabuteng P.Ink K. June 17, 2014 at 7:33 AM This was such a fun read for me, loved how this one flowed and definitely struck a chord with me-- I actually can't remember how many times I changed my name on here? But yeah, the current one I'm using, I guess I am more or less sticking by it, almost for 1& 1/2 yrs now? & yes, you remembered my name right, thank you! And yes!! You totally missed that Bukowski contest :(, I'm sure you would have written an Awesome tribute for him! So glad to know you're back writing! Me, I'm mushrooming here...

Elizabeth Wesley August 31, 2012 at 5:36 PM You should always have clean underwear on in case you are in an accident! I think you'd be bored without change.

Natalie The Rogue Rhymer June 2, 2012 at 4:58 PM Joey-this is dope! :) You really don't have too many grey, do ya? I haven't seen one in a real long time, but I think I need stronger contact lenses too. Maybe that's why I'm putting off the trip to the eye doc. :) Thanks for your comments-I'm been slammed with work but will try to get around more often. Have a great rest of weekend. Love, Natalie
