THAT POETRY TALK

That poetry talk 

is the language of the soul.

Inscribed words to warm the heart,

dark reflections of old.

That poetry talk 

is a language very unique.

Despite diversity,

it’s one the world can speak.

That poetry talk

is water for the thirsty.

Pent up emotions expunged,

the cleanse of the dirty.

That poetry talk

is food for the spirit.

Whether Seuss, Scott-Heron,

or Angelou,

We all want to hear it!

That poetry talk

does not have to be recited.

Whisper my rhymes in your head,

Get my point? 

We’re united! 

I walk that poetry walk,

with swagger in my steps!

And

I will

Talk

That poetry talk

‘Til I have nothing left!

Because I talk!

That poetry talk!
