Endeavor To Be Emollient!

Why should your poetic voice be violent? If you can’t sing a sweet song… be silent. Respect is reciprocal, It’s sweet to be social, Poets should endeavor to be emollient!

First of all Adeleke, Slam I'm sure wasn't meant to insult others. There are a million issues to slam about. PS was a "family of Poets" before, now it seems it's being reduced to a "sour soup". Congratulations on the HM! Hope youre doing well. Peace, love, audrey

Congratulations on your win Adeleke. To answer your question about me being Chinese...no, I am Caucasion married to a Chinese/Hawaiian. That is why I keep my maiden name of Marcum so that people will know. Aloha
