Poetry Is My Voice

Imagination and subliminal thoughts are created-
       Seen through my minds eye....
This pen takes the shape of a scimitar-
       Following the way of the samurai....
It's a hunger a desperate need.
       This pen accelerates picking up speed.
Continuous momentum never to stop.
       I will scale and conquer this mountain top.
                              I'm a warrior with my words.
                                      Using nouns, adjectives, and adverbs.
                               They can confine, keep me blind, but my mind is not in the slammer
                                       I design, entwine, and use no guidelines with my grammar.
                                I combine my stanza's and make 'em sing.
                                        Through my ruthless bloodline, I'm the most diabolical King!
"Writer's Block" is a trained and difficult adversary.
       But regardless, I'm destined to be legendary.
I paint visuals that compliment my morbid personality.
       My reality is your fantasy.
Stories tend to dance into creativity.
       Through my dark imagination I'm not given much choice.
Poetry is my voice....

Yes you did Jimmy and it is an outstanding piece. My eyes seemed to be recovered now so I should be back to normal. It is the season however and I have lots of things to get done and other people need help this time of year. I will try to watch for your work. Love, Carol

Yes. very well written indeed, but not free verse.. slam it is... and by the way.. many of my poems which i think are great have never been read really, as within hours they slip away into oblivion unless someone is looking for me specifically...

Slam poetry is fun to read I must say. This would fit nicely with a rap beat or at the very least I would want to hear it performed orally at a reading. Destined to be legendary huh? awesome. When you're a legend I'll meet you there, I'll be the one destined to fade quietly into obscurity. Thanks for sharing the warrior's code. -Yoni

Once again: excellent piece, but hardly "free verse." Slam poetry at its best. ***Danielle***
