Biography

I enjoy writing as an outlet for my fascination with the flexibility of words. I love how there are endless ways to convey ideas and invoke feelings in the reader. Hip Hop is intertwined in my writing style and my poems always rhyme. However, I am open to various other forms of poetry. I look forward to the feedback from this community.

Samples

Balance is a challenge... As I sip this ale. And tell a quite garish... Nightmarish cryptic tale. A dreary guide... As our skies become teary eyed. Straight thru your heart... To that part where all fear resides. A demon lurks just beneath... With sharp, gnashing teeth. Beneath the surface... With its' purpose of smashing peace. Doing much harm... But the alarm rang silently. Hangs on your neck like a charm... It's Anxiety!

Those first 4 lines grab the throat and pour some gin of inspiration down it. Great sample and rhyme.?
