Words echo
In a vacuum
Noise sans meaning
Hear the pitch
Of noisy dross
Hurling loose curls
Words beyond
Plain meaning die
As sighs falter
Meet strange blend
Of echoes lost
In broken strains
Words fall flat
Meaning breaks free
Nothing much more
Verse lines strain
Match some blown vice
To die as noise
Words seem lost
Poetic flash
Lavish sans rhyme
If only
Ideas cast light
On message verge
Such a waste
As haste leaks ooze
Upon the wind

Because of my Nationality I try to learned a few other language Spanish I speak some but reading and Interrupt I can do better French I speak a Little But reading and Interrupt I can do better I can read Latin as well and knowing the rules for this languages make poetry little different but intriguing it is a word I think is Francophone but when talk about the mechanic of the speech and language is more like Villanelle with Malapropism and Parallelismus Membrorum kind of spread mechanic which some would called street poetry. Some people want me to rap but my mom would not approve I see that alot on message but when selling million of records you have to have countries behind you I guess some what to coach me who knows but one thing is sure art and land is one thing that always goes up inflation. My poem is mint for spoken word I just wrote the books to get to audio books hope one day everything work it self out.
Devils spawn, Beelzebub groupie
Sinister minister of hell fire
Sinner sister
Brother dire in a B-movie
Left handed without fealty
Never to sit on the right
hand of some imaginary deity
Cursed with evil notoriety
To abide with the devils pet goat
seething with bitter envy
Left handed, bereft of pity
anticlockwise to dither
slimy and shitty
A snake that slithers
Not you,
so pure
right on, right there.
Conservatively dour
Smelling of roses
benevolent snare
Correct, on message,
pointless,
caring,
so caring.

What a comeback!
winning by a mile,
now you can smile.
You keep it up, lady,
N.H. was your stage,
stay right on message!
