And I, a lucky soul, am still,
And listen as she sings her heart— 
A prize no other man can keep....

who are given
a mic to hold in their hands...

I 
Only
Want you to
Read 
My poetry
Perceive the voice

Open Mic nights

They had one more chance to prevail.
He must catch this throw or they fail.
So excited the crowd
Got really quite loud
His run moved the siz-a-mic scale.

Heartbeat

Like clapping hands, meeting in chant

Sturdy

The legs carrying an empty head

Dropped

The mic by nervous hands

Take a bow you African children
Your narrative is now yours.......

I use my pen like a mic
to tell people how God has saved me
and how His word changed me.

His love is what made me
and that Im forever grateful to God,
for the unlimited second chances
He has given me....

The best artist that there probably was,
His words make music sound sharper than saws,
His mouth shoots arrows,
The mic is his mighty bow,
He is practically an Archer,
Every piece he performs,
A battle he has won,
Ends with a victorious laughter...

You must taste just like urban art,
all that swag dripping from your smirk;
Contours of tag lines show your heart,
a masterpiece with skilled brushwork;
So stylish with that nouveau quirk,
your scent won’t abide dilution;
With a word you drive crowds berserk;
On the mic you’re revolution....

There are no words from poetry to purify the 
heart, can’t rock the mic with headache, the irony
of it all, its the beauty from women that gets the
boys stir crazy, no matter how deep one submerges, 
the ideal person doesn’t carry themselves as such.

A man named Disney drew a mouse named Mickey
Now Disney's gone, but Mickey still goes strong
In cartoons and parks from Spain to New York City

Across the globe all kids can sing his song
A melody you simply can't get wrong

Though Disney only lived to sixty-five
That mouse he drew is very much alive...

Would rather recite poetry
in a forest
in a dell
in a woodland
in a meadow

Would be joined by
squirrels
chickadees
earthworms

Would not judge
my poetry and say you suck

Would rather recite poetry
by a river
by rocks
by jolly green giants
by humming birds

Would rather recite poetry
in nature than at an open mic reading...

so - did ya?
did ya go to the open mic?
did ya go on ya bike?
did ya stand on the stage?
full of angst and rage?
or spout forth good cheer
did ya overcome ya fear?
despite the cold,
did ya act all bold?
...
or stay at home in ya bed
feeling sorry with dread

...

that's cool too
we just care about you

....

well...

did ya?

Jack and Jill went up the hill
With thoughts of making love
Jack hadn’t got a condom 
So cut a finger off Jill’s glove
The glove was far too small for him
And it didn’t fit his todger
Now they are proud parents
Of a baby they called Rodger!

The denomiating the factor, the colnel without the sanders, the heater that you can handle, 
the rookie but still establihed. Can you remote the channel to insight pursuit the crown on you. Came on through like a singing group so dirty leave a stain on you. Jump no hoops to handle you like ludacris will act a fool. Reboot this boo I'm shining through. So turn the mic up pour us two....

Icebreaker 
Stomach in a knott
Got the jitters
Got the runs
Anxiety on its high.

Made a choice to recite
Poetry of the night
Heart pounding
Knees shacking
Eyes bulging
Crowd waiting.

MOTHER
This decision isn't right
Crowd staring
Words choking
Got stage fright.

Having doubts
Looking scared
Holding onto the mic
MOTHER
I need to take a quick flight
Got to get out of sight....
