Went to my first Chicago show, and my first poetry performance in 2 years last night. I can't say I killed it, but I did well. I hit a familiar favorite with "Woman's Lib," and I tried my newest poem out (posted below). I couldn't get through the second one cause I was cut short, but I had some heads nodding. So I realized what I have to do to get my poetry heard. Simply get some beats. I could rap if I wanted to, and I gotta get a couple of songs to grab the crowds attention. So at the risk of being like Drake and free-styling with a blackberry... which isn't free-styling at all it's just writing on a whim and flowing when I get the chance, I'm gonna go at it. I figure if I put down a couple of verses over a nice beat, I'll draw 'em in, and then I can lay it down with the good poetry I know I have... not to toot my own horn. But, stay posted to the blog because by the end of the weekend, I'll have some videos of my poems up. Just a vocal representation of what you see posted here, and on my facebook page.
Thanks for reading. Stay tuned. That's my Peace. The Madam.
