Looking for poets

[hellomynameis]

I’m looking for fellow poets that would want to swap poems so that we could exchange some positive criticism and opinions.

If you are interested leave a post or pm.

Peace out.

Neither are squirrels. (Except for flying ones!)

Sorry, Hello. I haven't written any "poetry" since my years of adolescent angst.

K-Town Thug - A Rap Song

I'm a K-Town Thug
so you know I'm rough
and you know I'm bad
just don't tell my dad
I'm a K-Town Thug
and I act real tough
I'll hit you with a bomb
just don't tell my mom

Wake up at 7:30 in the AM
Go down eat me some corn pops with the old man
He's gonna drive me to school in the mini van
He got to roll in that cuz mom took the sedan

When I show up for school yo man I'm late for class
I ain't gonna go you know it's only math
I think I'm gonna go and lay down in the grass
Principal gave me detention what a pain in the a**

It's second period now that means I got a spare
I think I'll go stand outside, show off my clothes and hair
Ask people, "Hey yo what's up" like I don't even care
And then I'll go eat my lunch my mom packed me some pears

I'm a K-Town Thug
so you know I'm rough
and you know I'm bad
just don't tell my dad
I'm a K-Town Thug
and I act real tough
I'll hit you with a bomb
just don't tell my mom

It's lunch I ride shotgun in my friend's mom's car
We roll around in the lot like we're f***in' stars
people looking at us like they're re*****
chicks dig us like broken bones and battlescars

My buddy pulls up the ride next to a group of ladies
They're all playing around pretending that they hate us
They turn around, look us down and they start to berate us
We drove off, came in our pants, hey what the hell they made us

I'm a K-Town Thug
so you know I'm rough
You know I'm bad
just don't tell my dad
I'm a K-Town Thug
and I act real tough
I'll hit you with a bomb
just don't tell my mom

Man I hate English class, this f***er is too wordy
But it's almost that time, I'm gone when it's 3:30
I'll chill hang out with my friends you know they're ridin' dirty
and then we'll beat up that kid, you know the one who's nerdy

So when you talk 'bout Kelowna better watch your words
and think about what you say because you might get hurt
you know it's true I'll put you in the f***ing dirt
because it's been proved I can beat up a nerd

Now it's off to bed to go sleepy time
and it's time to reflect on my life of crime
vandalism petty theft you know I'm f***ing hard
Jaywalking and I ignored a crossing guard

I'm a K-Town Thug
and I act real tough
You know I'm bad
just don't tell my dad
I'm a K-Town Thug
and I act real tough
I'llit you with a bomb
just don't tell my mom

Mr. Personality! Brilliant, I'd love to get that put to music.

[Mr. Personality]

Well the girl in my room was sure a looker
If beauty was crime they'd have had to book her
But she didn't wake up when I yelled and shook her
Now what am i supposed to do with this here dead hooker

Well I ain't had a woman in seven years
Cuz I got a crooked nose and I'm missing half an ear
A couple big ol scars
from some nights out at the bar
Two missing teeth from a fight I had with a deer

So I went into town to go to the store
for a loaf of bread and a can of corn
but I decided to have fun
before I got my shopping done
and I went to the corner to get a *bleep*

I saw her standing there huffing a jiffy
figured I'd better snatch her up quickly
I asked her "how much?"
she said "a hundred bucks"
then looked at me and said "make it two fifty"

I told her to get into the car
said "I know a motel you know it ain't too far"
Well she just dropped that pen
and then she got right in
and started to tie off her arm

she told me she had a little blow
and if I needed some she knew where to go
asked if she could smoke some crack
I told her only in the back
and make sure to roll down the window

We got us a room to do the deed
there was blood on the wall and stains on the sheets
she went to the bath-
room and never came back
and I'm pretty sure that's where she OD'd

I tried my best to wake her up
slapped her in the face and punched her gut
when she didn't respond
that's when on me it dawned
that today was not the day I'd end my rut

So I sat down and drank a little liquor
Why on Earth did I have to pick her
Just went to buy some bread
and now my hooker's dead
but I'm still debating whether or not to stick her

Well the girl in my room was sure a looker
If beauty was crime they'd have had to book her
But she didn't wake up when I yelled and shook her
Now what am i supposed to do with this here dead hooker

"In My Secret Life: an Ode to Castanet"
by LEONARD COHEN

I smile when I’m angry.
I cheat and I lie.
I do what I have to do
To get by.
But I know what is wrong,
And I know what is right.
And I’d die for the truth
In My Secret Life.

Hold on, hold on, my brother.
My sister, hold on tight.
I finally got my orders.
I’ll be marching through the morning,
Marching through the night,
Moving cross the borders
Of My Secret Life.

Looked through the paper.
Makes you want to cry.
Nobody cares if the people
Live or die.
And the dealer wants you thinking
That it’s either black or white.
Thank G-d it’s not that simple
In My Secret Life.

I bite my lip.
I buy what I’m told:
From the latest hit,
To the wisdom of old.
But I’m always alone.
And my heart is like ice.
And it’s crowded and cold
In My Secret Life.

[Queen K]

So you're saying that Castanet is your secret life, right?

[Captain Awesome]

I think we should start a Haiku thread.

Wasted hours and hours
Trying to argue with people.
I need a hobby.

So you're saying that Castanet is your secret life, right?

Yup, I have found that telling others about Castanet gets me weird looks and "nerd" comments. So, for the sake of normal friendships, it is best I don't bring it up - ever.

Leonard Cohen's lyrics fit perfectly to Castanet (except the cheating and lying part).

You can’t stop it
It takes them away
Piece by piece in plain view
Inescapable and sure
You’re feeling it soon enough
If not already
Evil defined
Age
