Until I Can Find Something Constructive...*napkin freestyle*

[augee.ali]

The words don't come fast enough
For me to write
Let alone recite
At an open mic.
I'm short on ideas
But my thoughts are long and drawn out
In vivid colors
Like graffiti murals
On derailed subway cars...
I'm shooting for the moon
But keep hitting the stars
With random shots--
Random thoughts
About random shit
That doesn't matter to anybody else.--
To be perfectly honest,
They don't even mean anything to myself!
I'm bad for my own health
like second-hand smoke
That I just blew out
With the windows closed
And the air off...
The words can't reach my lips fast enough
Because they got stuck in traffic
Somewhere between my head and my heart--
Not to mention it's rainy AND dark,
Plus no spaces to park,
So I'm just hushed until
I can find something constructive to say.

Now, this is a Poem. You have the similes and metaphorical sense to obtain an image of what type of meaning you're trying to set out for with this piece. I believe that you may be trying to say a whole lot more, although your head can't process enough or process fast enough, as your heart can. Another meaning could be that you don't want to murder all your ideas in one piece. One other meaning that was dwelling in my mind while reading this is that you have something you want to say, just stuck in your head. Although, you don't know how to construct the words in saying it. I have too many meanings for this, when it could be so simple, feel me? Overall, a slick piece, sonnie. My blessings..

That's exactly right...no need to dig any deeper than that. With this particular piece, there's really no "hidden" meanings behind it. This is something I wrote on a napkin in about 5 minutes while I was at Karaoke one night waiting for my beer and hotwings to get to my table. (lol) It's pretty much to the point...There's so much shit I want to say but the words just won't come to my lips because the ideas are still trying to register in my head.

i like the same lines quoted above - how'd you fit all that on a napkin? lol^

[varentao]

...i felt the notes being composed so true...true in the sense of rawness...yet they came out in purer and finer form than most others could....

...yes, indeed...i 'know' what you are saying...i know oh too well sometimes...though i have grown to accept it, and appreciate it...for maybe some things are meant ot remain within...or maybe it's just a matter of patience being the key to virtue...i.e. just go with the flow...(but of course, at time it still can be maddening!!)...

...resp...

ahh... nothing like poetry on a crumpled napkin... to me, those pieces are the best... great piece, i love how it has such great relativity to the readers so far, including myself... we all have had that feeling where the random things of no value fill our lives with nothingness... great job. ~.^
