EDIT: So I just saw that @JordPlourde linked this to the Twitterverse. I hope you enjoy it but please be nice as this is, no bullshit, the first rhyming poem I’ve written since I was about 14.<\/p>\n
I’m going to try and write and share 30 poems over the next 30 days, some freeform, some rhyming. Not really looking for critique, just getting in the habit of writing this way.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Do I enhance or inhibit, \/ suppress or exhibit \/ that creative process that I stress over? \/ Know what, forget it. \/ TGIF, so I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m goin\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 blind, deaf, \/ dumb as a mic check, \/ pour me the high-test, \/ leave out the ice. Next \/ dive\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s down the block \/ so I walk \/ till I fall \/ then I crawl \/ hands and knees \/ sayin\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 please look away. \/ You don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t want to see this sad rerun on Saturday. \/ Better believe I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve got reason to act this way. \/ Gotta make it big, get my own island like Cast Away. \/ So he say \/<\/p>\n
Liquid knowledge, \/ fact or fiction, \/ equal doses, \/ watch me mix \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcem.<\/p>\n
Liquid knowledge, \/ words of wisdom, \/ I found \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcem in the bottom of the bottle, then I pissed \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcem in the snow, \/ bright yellow cursive on white parchment, \/ I felt encouraged to make some fine art, then \/ realized the penis mightier than this word, \/ I created a one-eyed monster, \/ spittin\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 knowledge constantly, \/ I tell him no, but he don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t take no prompts from me. \/ Fact is it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s impossibly hard to be labeled a victim of circumstance \/ when you find your rhymes by gettin\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 drunk enough to piss your pants.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
