MY POEM JONES

I gots the jitters

I'm beginning to shake

can't really focus

now

that I've found an outlet

2 plug

this site...

whether they ever create a book or DVD

from excerpts here

I do and then I really don't care

I'm sometimes leery

mostly though

optimistic

2 post my thoughts

pure in my wildest moments of RAGE

true as time is infinite

I have seen, browsed, and read

words that I've felt

from this place

deemed for DEF POETS

indeed we magnify and exemplify all

that DEF was meant to mean

when from whence we came

we create and continue to birth

vocabulary that all want 2 come 2 know, use, and verbalize

I'm titillated b/cuz

I can write

U can read

I can write

U can judge

I can write

U can internalize

my thoughts

and mold them in your mind

2 fit your situation

whatever it is that makes U

want 2 flow

this is the best release 4 me now

I always wanted 2 write

I've had a love jones

that forced me 2 engage in

my poem jones, this helps 2 ease my pain

I'm not interested in being the best

just want 2 learn 2 feel through others

I'm a spoken word junkie

take this turnicat

tie it tight

pluck my vein

shoot me up

I want 2 OD on your life experiences

2 know that if I'm insane I'm not alone

write....

now I

think I'm

high.
