9/26/08 OK! SO WOW. The formatting really irks me and actually destroyed some of my most recent poetry. Lol... What can you do? I'm not going to go through and delete them only to repost them again after editing them BLAH BLAH BALAHAHSH. Forget that! I have them on my Deviantart account @ http://daftjaft.deviantart.com/ If you want to see them with correct formatting. And it's like they're all double-spaced.

D8

Next time I'll get 'em.

Good afternoon.

I am he who is he.

I am man.

Give me your money and women.

As of now, I have walked upon this Earth for nineteen years.

I can only make poems, for I am not a storyteller, at least, not really.

I'll leave that to those who can.

Muahaha...

Note on my poetry:

It's best read as SPOKEN WORD. Read out loud, and you can find the rhythm. Read just the words, and they'll sound lifeless and off beat.

Sometimes you'll need to read some lines extra fast to keep in tempo with the other lines, sometimes I use close rhymes or rhymes that have the words share the same core sound like "song" and "on.", sometimes you have to read my poetry multiple times in order to make it sound right.

That's how I am, that's how it will be. Good luck and good reading. Don't be afraid to critique me, but don't be rude about it.

May the force be with you.

I apologize to my 1 or 2 fans that I've kept waiting. Take comfort in knowing I'll be spewing, that's right, spewing out more poetry soon. Take care until then. :D
