Poetry is like making a joke. If you got one word wrong at the end of the joke, you've lost the whole thing.

my poet is Edgar Allan Poe

MEMORY POEM 2 the breeze had a faint smell of hot dogs on it -it was summer the hot sticky air only left two options of activity -bike ridding or swimming my choice was bike ridding on my new bike -my brother was jealous his bike had been broken for a year -i was having fun my brother thought it would be funny to make me crash -he was a dumb 5 year-old he'd jump in the way and make me swerve -hes not that fast the last time i didn't swerve -we both where hurt pain was tearing at my leg -he was hurt to the loin that roared of pain from his belly shocked me -tears rolled down his cheeks the scare on his face sickened me -blood mixed with his tears i rushed for me mom -he got there first my mother ran to beat me -pain was biting me again i wasn't even put on punishment my bike was taken -now i was crying

ODE

ode to music a persons life a persons fantasy a way to live a way to be the calming sounds the banging bass line the amazing rhymes the feelings the soul the connection the dream the drive the fast spoken poems the single message the reason i listen to music
