Poem number six, coming right up! This one’s prompt was for a “sonic poem” that values rhythm and rhyme over coherence, and the possibility of a rap-like piece was suggested if not recommended. As such, the exercise became something of a welcome excuse for me to practice my hip-hop chops, though a performance of this “on tha mike” is pending, because I’ll admit the beat isn’t perfect all the way through. Still, I kind of had fun with it, and I hope the sentiment I injected still makes sense in-between all the alliteration and assonance!

Second stanza is almost chilling. So yeah, I’d say it makes a good amount of sense still.
Sweet, good to know! I hadn’t tried sounding like one of those slam poets for a long time, so I wasn’t sure there…
