no one knew I came here
for
the longest time
my dirty little secret
closet poet
I kept it to myself
well just you guys
but very few friends and family
very few
now it’s out
now
lots know
me
and
my
big mouth
you think I would learn
you think I would know
the kinda pressure
that can come from
people who know and love you
coming on
to see what pops off my fingers next
pressure
talking to mom last night
mom
some of this stuff is really good
me
thanks mom, I really just play around
but they got this new page stat thing
and I’m averaging about 70 hits a page
mom
good so now you could start selling
right?
me
sure ya right sure
in
my
dreams
no pressure
no pressure like a friggin pressure cooker
me
well I could always self publish
you know put my own book out
you can do that for like 200 dollars
mom
well hon that would be great
you should you really should
me
sure ya right sure
we do some real intellectual talking here
me and my mom
ha
mom knows best
look for me
me josie coming your way
soon
you’d think I’d learn
me
love you mom
mom
love you too
and really look into it
just
do
it
now she’s doing Nike commercials
think I’ll stick to my day job
ha
Jose,
Good piece, bypass the gatekeepers! Many of worth have, only to end up being chased by same said gatekeepers, I now listen to a cd a friend sent, even the tune seems to say....fly them words... "my heart and my soul belong to you!" thats the commitment and faith we must have to, and in our words,in order to give them wings!
Very creative.
Yes, I know those looks when people find out you are a poet.
A Book? Yes, a book is worth the money -
if for no other reason than to collect your poetry for your family and loved one.
I was just thinking of saving up for my 2nd collection myself! Good luck my friend.
if god sees to it, josie, you will be published, just as i and many more here will be! just ask god that this happens, and he will see to it. if it doesn't, it just wasn't his will; but it still wouldn't hurt to ask him that this happens! good write, and flow is great, too! love, your texas friend, karen lynn. ((((HUGS)))) :) p.s.: i am gonna' upgrade soon; can't wait to see what happens! :)
