Open Mic Night

Posted By: Traci T. on April 06, 2005 What's up y'all! In case you haven't noticed by now, I love poetry and I hope you are enjoying my poems. Here's one I wrote about music. I was listening to Alicia Keys, she has such a beautiful voice. Whatever song it was inspired me to write about music because I love it as much as I love writing itself. I had never written a poem for music, so that's what I did. Each stanza is about a different type of music and I even incorporated some song titles in there. I have eclectic taste when it comes to music so I included Hip Hop, Jazz, R&B, and Blues. But on the other hand it's in the perspective of music as a person, like Alicia being R&B instead of just singing it. And that's what's up. MY MUSIC MY RELEASE they dance across the keys slender fingers with ease producing hits from all degrees for me, that's my release she's musically inclined lyrically literally redefined the rhythm and blues of our time and today, she's my release spittin' sixteens into the mic of the rich's wrongs and the poor's right to learn and live a better life his message holds my release he's musically advanced taught us to break dance and wave our hands who opened the doors and gave lyricists a chance he will always be my release a fat bassline so smooth it can't miss the melodies of memories' bliss a sexy sax makes you relax and reminisce sentimentally, that's my release he's music classically what late nights were and big bands used to be zoot suits, fingerwaves, and the speak easy that's my release it don't mean a thing if it aint swing with a solitary songstress to sing of the heart makes and breaks life can bring late at night, thats my release she's music truly her soulful voice goes through me journeys with me slowly, but surely on gloomy sundays, that's my release he makes my rims vibrate in the summertime when im heated, he's my cool breeze she helps me relax and unwind whenever i need her, she's my release Please feel free to tell me what you think, I can't get better unless I get some constructive criticism. I've been writing since the first grade, so that's roughly eleven years. But you can always get better. God Bless.
