Poems For ReviewRe: I Am Old Now... by llaykorn(op):
desmondDessi, watch this spoken word clip by this young Somalian who calls himself 'Mustafa The Poet' if you'll like it. It's the best spoken word clip I've seen in months.

Oh I see....can one do a spoken word performance without rhyming?
Yes, sure. There is actually no mandatory manner in which to perform spoken word.

desmondDessi:
llaykorn is there any difference between Poems(written) and Spoken Word Poetry?
Basically, spoken word is performance-based poetry, but pieces that will be performed as spoken word are usually structured in some slightly different way to most of the conventional poems we see. The structure of spoken word pieces usually tends to focus more on the performance of the words themselves, the dynamics of tone, gestures and facial expressions. In some way, spoken word poetry can be likened to rap music without the beats. I'm talking about some real rap here. tongue

liricyst:
quick one....


Let me be Quick to discard/
Your thoughts that liri doesn't think the rebel put a whip to his ass/
He got me from his name flips to his sass/
But i can stomach it like enduring kicks to the abs/
But Bleep you Vain Subjects..asking me to change subjects..
I don't need to Depart from science...to stick to the art!/
I never fumble my lines...I'm an actor that commits his Script to his heart/
Focused on science only cos i wanted my own niche to be carved/
Now Listen to gists n the rants...dark put a d.ick to his ass/
Forked him quick...dumped the kid...now liri's just a bish in his past!/
Now where them stans that be emulating me?/
Those who sang s me praises and were elevating me/
Those who ever had any faith in me/
I guess I've become an extinct religion..they've lost every faith in me!/
Many knew he was bad but expected i should be breaking him/
But i slept on the disrespectful rebel...and got a rude awakening!/
Now they wish to/advice me to write on pulling pistols/emptying the clipz too/
And take out some blood....just like the crips do!/
Now those who should wait on me are offering me tips too!/
You getting terminated but i won't fire these fools/
I'm a container of ojuelegba bridge
I did fall off...but i will still crush most of these fools!/

Lmao
Hey Lyricist

T'z like you got this straight from the freezer, this is cool/
Look bro, I know how bad y' wanna be understood/
Y'Prolly thought none would get this message, but yes I do/
It's not new/
I've been in stuff like this myself sometimes too/
It's like being trapped in a world that feels to you
Like it's sans peril matchless an' so cool/
But nobody seems to feel all the shiit you do/
Cos like 'em they want your ass dumbed down too/

I don't really think it's also nice, buddy/
Or wise, When rappers always taking about Teks/
Drawing blood,shooting Aks, or oiling Uzis/
It's rasher to ears when they talk 'bout fukin' pùssies/
It's not in rap alone, it's written all over lay's physics/
That's it's really shameful an' silly/
When those we call experts/
Can't break the barriers set by cliches/
Or half-baked niches/

That's why I hate 'em poets
Who always talking about life and death/
Or spending all 'em time dissin' the government/
I like artists who go on t' shock the world/
When there's nothing but worn-out hokum left/

But Lyricist,
It's not really cool d' way you give life t' your verse/
And like some folks/
I aint ever saying you should turn your back/
Or dumb it down/
But life can still be given, man/
In a unique way that wows a crowd/
Whether scheme be science or maths/
Whether subject be commerce or arts/
Bro, this ain't about switching your style/
It's even dishonorable changing your marks/
But ti's about doing things right/
When you choose wiche'er style/

And I'll leave you with this/
Try to memorize it, read an' repeat/
That's life's always harder on those
Who try to be unique/
But when they stay long enough/
Take all the shii n' keep doing 'em thing/
Long enough t' mark the scene/
They grow into kings/
And later rule the scene/
So the style World ne'er wanted to see/
Becomes the voice, anthem in streets/
So, never be sad or take it bad/
When you notice, you never cop a win!!!/

Poems For ReviewI Am Old Now... by llaykorn(op): 8:12am On Sep 29, 2015
I am old now and the moon wanes
As the winter settles on the weather vanes,
This moment at the back end of my days
Of the gutter and the passageways,
I've seen it all, the crumbling street
The dead leaves fall about my feet,
The glories of my life unfurled
Are but the silent horrors of the world.
In the gathering gloom I press my hands
And hope that someone understands,
The sorrow and the darkening sky
Of grief and the muffled cry.

The evening creeps and holds itself
A hostage of the coming night,
Cradles in its arms and starts to sleep.
Waking up to dreams it breaths, it's lungs
Bear witness to the gift of tongues.
I hear a voice, distant voices and the sound of rumbling.
"Remember child, that the ways of youth are wild
Do not hesitate nor twist your fate
On promises that may never pass
Nor lose that time that you must win,
It will not pass again".

She smiles, her wrinkled face
Like paper crepes run highways
From her eyes,
She has no smell as if the memories
Had been washed away.
I think of the old days
Of perfume and cologne.
I am alone.
I imagine trees of feathered boughs
Lined with wings of dead sparrows
I see deaths birth and what it farrows.

And even now, I think of the coming light
To ward against the deadening night,
Dream of warmth and of the rose,
Of slumber and the long repose.
