Been gone too long

I been gone to long but I have great news Blog! ECU's first Slam Team is going to Boston next week to compete nationally at CUPSI at Emerson College. We are prepping and getting ready to not be fucking nice! So it is April, National Poetry Month. So in honor of that I am writing one poem a day!

WEIRD WILLY WEDNESDAY

Ok JayFredo on twitter posted this in a TwitPic yesterday, and when I saw it "WEIRD" was the first thing that came to mind. Granted it was raining and one would say she was prepared and taking measures to keep her feet dry and comfortable for the weather, nonetheless it's still weird...lol. Makes me think of a frog ?!?!?

This is Weird Willy's first post! Next Wednesday, I will show you more weird shit!

-Over & Out

Silence

This is a tragic love story of falling hearts
I wish we would have met in the Spring,
In time for our love to bloom with the flowers
But your heart continues to remind of winter
We have wilted in false hope and
Passion seems to be the only thing that keeps us warm
And not good enough seems like a good place to settle
So I will let you lay your head on my heart forever
But Only if silence will promise to pay me back for what I've lost

"League of Extraordinary Poets"

So this week my PIC (Poet In Crime) and I have been preparing for our show case tomorrow! Word of Mouth, our poetry organization is hosting a "League of Extraordinary Poets showcase for the campus of East Carolina University.
This is our first show of the semester and for the year and we are going to set the stage on fire.

So excited, I will be sure to post of video my performance as well as others =)

Cream

I feel a Sin coming on
I feel a change in season
weathering the heights of my limits
which have proved to be non-existent
Where is this darkness coming from?
My compassion and sympathy has died with youth
I am evil, I am the snake in the grass that you are too lazy to cut
You hate me,
I am the nightmare that keeps you from sleeping
renacting the night he sneaked into your room,
Don't act like you didn't like it
It's the reason you masturbate to confusing feelings at 8 years old
I was never perfect, but I still believe Love is Peaches and Cream

Unthinkable (I'm Ready)

So yesterday I downloaded the new Alicia Keys album, THE ELEMENT OF FREEDOM! I have been heavily rotating this one song, "Unthinkable"ft Drake. I find this love song to be so moving and in the moment which I love. The beat, the tone, and her voice is all beautiful! I am not really a routine kind of person, and I can feel the passion in the song about just being real and taking risks when it comes to love, it's not typical.
I can just feel the love in the song and I can definitely relate to it.
It speaks Beauty and Love, Thanks Alicia for blessing my ears today!
