I walked slowly to the door
smoke flowin' out
around the top
and near the floor
hesitant to push
but anxious to see
what all this is about
just what could it be
the scent lingering was very familiar
to me
so I don't feel scared
whatevers inside
will welcome me
so I pushed the door
open real wide
OH SHIT!
CAN'T BELIEVE MY EYES!
IT'S QUITE THE SURPRISE!
familiar faces
stoic in their places
yet their mouths never stopped movin'
muffled voices entangled
2 steppin' it just groovin
I look around
hearing familiar voices
shake my head cuz there's too many choices
Alumni, in btweeners, and new b's alike
standin' in lyrical circle
blessin' the mic
I didn't feel sad
that I din't receive a formal invite
cuz I knew they knew
I do my read by's by night
so here I am ready to take my
place in this circle
but seems some others are missin'
but I know they'll be here soon
cuz Raila and Soulyricist
are on the POET'S WANTED Poster
being handed out by Strawberrylagoon
so I know like U know that this
gatherin' is tight
and we'll be up
long after daylight
has come and gone
and
went and came
cuz we all for
one thing
it's all the same
we are the seasoning
for a bangin' ass poetic stew
ah yeah
it's gonna be the best stew
U've ever tasted
cuz talent up in this piece
could never be wasted
so
get the roll
and sop this shit up
indulge yourselves
hold up
wait
I hear a voice callin' me
seems like there's some folks that's callin' me
I gotsta go but I'll get right back
let me join Strawberry in the search
to bring the WANTED POETS BACK!
LOVE Y'ALL- THAT WAS SO OF THE TOP OF MY DOME
Love it! :) I don't think i've ever seen anyone put it in so many words as you have in "The Poets Wanted Poster".
I enjoyed my visit and will return.
Sincerely,
Stephanie
