Proof In Her Prowl

She is a Battle Babe
make you mouth her as a FAV. ,
all her work an automatic save, a rage'n rave,
getcha cravin the ultimate poetic shave
makin demons a quick grave and enticin angels to misbehave,
She's a Battle Babe, no chance her style fades, she got genius in spades,
covert clout leavin you shamed with sheer doubt, livin to learn her upshot ways,
offend ya with a biting wit, pen ya witha whip whetted on the blood of your best days,
love ya like a lionized legionare, waste ya like a puny prisoner pinned against her spiked legs,
wicked wrath and affectionate genuflection the perfection of the Battle Babe's barbarous pathways,
the Patron Poetess of the Lady Ink Crew not fearin you, not hatin you, 
she's just beatin every ounce of you

You say she's crazy, lazy and hastey
some sort of Prima Donna in distress lost in lunacy pastey,
but this is simply a rumor reflected from your own filthy and phony majesty,
she prepares for battle settled and seasoned
like a lioness in love with the last hour of hunger
quiet and confident, instincts infallible in Society's saddistic scramble,
pupils green aglow, piercing the pale lies of this business' infatuation with profit's ramble,
the salt of twilight stings her senses, your stunted reaction she will savor
thoughts of your company falling from her K-9's kill of what was once friendship once reasoned,
she will annihilate facts in the false traffic of your tabulated fantasy,
she will destroy you for assuming truth in sunshine made from touted travesty -

Battle Babes are the best kind Kelly! Battle Babes must trust the truth before they can speak the truth. Glad you got into the prowl Kelly, thanks. J.A.B.

Hello Justin, If only, I could find the right words to elaborate how astonishing this rap truly is. You have, again, given your readers something new to enjoy. Thank you for expressing your pen, with your soulful, gestures and thoughts of this troubled but courageous soul, who lives the only way they've known all this time, perhaps. Piercing and punting to stay at float is never easy. I admire this write, much battle from all inspiring women. The ruling of your ink has been eloquent as its ever been. Finalizing the end with sunshine, resembles of fine art. Enjoyed this one, hope it's enjoyed by all, who fit this description, no need to be filled with greed... always~ PD

Written for a woman with the Will to bleed for her beliefs, one who finds no rest in resignation to the status quo. You are the embodiment of the rebel and beauty expressed in the spirit of this Art, the Art of owning your Cause, which we should all aspire to. Thank you Linda. J.A.B.

J A B. hits like a slam. Is this for Verlena's slam contest? I'm enjoying this. Powerful, and prowls all over the page. Many of us are late bloomers around here. Only a true leader holds a staff this way. Awesome quill.......................SKAt

Your intuition serves you very well my smarty Skat. My Quill had a rapping will to it on this write. I actually do rap writes every now and then, its a fun and powerful way to express poetic meaning, very underappreciated by the bigoted old timers. Slaming and rap rhyme are destin for each others style, all legit.

This is beyond good, I am sure Linda will love this one. Bravo!

Yes Richard, Linda will love this poem because she lives this prowl. She leads, she loves, she devours doubters. This hypermodern poem of ruthless self assertion is for all women who find their natural authority and charisma subversively challenged by weak attempts at saving false strength. J.A.B.
