Emulating Stars of Maybe

Emulating stars of maybe in May, hey baby, ray stuns and gravy

I'm alive and unfettered bravely

I'm better than wetter dogs with rabies, a slave to crazy, still jive and raving

Dime shot on sight, creeping hog tied up tight, and I'm slightly light in the pockets

Mark-it and hearken, steady ready caulk-it

Off-it like rockets I'm parkin' and stalkin' on foot at the market

I stray when I pursue loose grooves with my pick...

No-stop-it

Can't slick-pin her, hoppin' to the sloppin', and next target is barkin'

I'm farther than a garden guarded by sovereign guardians pawin' 'n' slobberin' 

Lower than drains clogged with pain runnin' on sugar-bane

Can it tame the blame that I swing wildly like a cane

Like a similie for lame, I'm lamer than lame

Now steady aim and pray we can coast today, mope and sway

Lay to rest grace, but sashay when slain

Sass and flame?

Hah...

Might as well use our brains.

Use our lanes to go nowhere, or somehere I never know, but something has to flow

Indeed it knows the deed of rose, and crows that fold and blow on slopes

The corpse is coarse, of course I'm morose

The host is boasted roast, and I'm hoisting oats to make up gropes in the dark

I'm not dark I swear I'm far from it, an ark of ravens slayin' carpets

Now the pavement calls me, need a beat-back symphony to make it...

No problem

You lay the six by me, and I'll do the farmin'

Just remember...

No sobbin'

Love the line about being better than wet dogs with rabies.

This is a great piece. another one that just proves what a poetry force you are. I love writing poetry, and a few of my pieces are some of the best things I've written, but I can't force it, and it can be tricky to come up with new poems. Reading your work is truly inspiring. Thank you for that. Great job.

Thanks so much! Sorry it has taken a minute to reply! Been away for a while. Glad to be an inspiration!

Have you ever put this to music.
It's kinda lyrical
Thanks for sharing

[apennylate]

Absolutely, that would explain my absences... As most of what I write is for my own musical expression... I just chop stuff up and throw it on here when I am bored...

[Annette Pisano-Higley]

The richness of this Rap is blinding, winding, grinding..."better than wetter dogs with rabies"-yes! Tumbling, rumbling through this like bob-sled, the brilliant musicality of beat, meter, rhyme , flow impetus, relevance, artistically blows me away.."you lay the six by me, and I'll do the farmin'- DEAL! Master-class work friend Silente Excellente!

[apennylate]

Another winding and grinding type review... You take my breath away with appreciation powerz, lol... Thanks again

[barleygirl]

As sometimes happens with your heaviest rap-like rhyming frenzies, I don't get most of this, but it's still fun to read -- your word-association is brilliant & unlike any I've read.

[apennylate]

What a heavy compliment, as I am sure you have read a good bit, heh
Thank you

[RolandDee]

Gee wilickers boys and girls… I wonder why this vacuous SJW d********g ran away with his tail between his legs? I wonder why that "social writing site" turned out to be a fake effort abandoned almost immediately by it's own creator?

Eggregious hypocritical virtue signaling bully games never work out in the long run. I'm glad you realized how embarrassing your actions were/are. Maybe if you had some substance behind your populist rage you'd be worth something... but alas... you turned out to truly be intellectually vacuous.

And I'm not even going to get into the plagiarism accusations against you. (which is probably the real reason you ran away like the coward you truly are.)

If you play stupid games, you win stupid prizes. Enjoy your shame. I hope you learned something.


Regards,

-- you know who this is... I never blocked you, ya coward. Despite all of your bullshit... you are still welcome to say whatever you want to me publicly or privately. And if you had any balls, personal integrity or honor you wouldn't have had to scurry away like you did. We could of talked like men and I would have been more than happy to debate you. You chose to act like an SJW bully. You did this to yourself...

(also, stop plagiarizing other peoples work... if your that intellectually bankrupt you have to resort to that s**t... maybe writing just isn't for you)

I look forward to your further cowardly silence.

[MaximumFlight]

Wonderful job, this piece kinda makes me sad, but I enjoyed it none the less.

[apennylate]

Thanks, Maximum

[A little flame]

How high are you? Jk Jk
A bit more romantic than your usual vibe. I like it!

[apennylate]

Thank you, Flame, and always at least a little high, hahaha

[Elizabeth]

this is amazing!! the poem reads like a song,and the wordplay is quite excellent. Loved it
"The corpse is coarse, of course I'm morose
The host is boasted roast, and I'm hoisting oats to make up gropes in the dark
I'm not dark I swear I'm far from it, an ark of ravens slayin' carpets"
my favorite lines

[apennylate]

I really was back "n" forth on that carpet line for a minute or two... Very glad someone liked it as much as I did... Thanks so much, Mist

[Elizabeth]

you're welcome

[Stephanie M]

Wow! Rhythmic, and good use of imagery. You could almost set that to music!

[apennylate]

That is always the point, so great to hear, thank you, Steph

[Carol Cashes]

"I'm better than wetter dogs with rabies, a slave to crazy, still jive and raving"

Yup.

[apennylate]

Hah... Ikr... Thanks, Carol

[csquires]

This is one I'd read over again to try and understand. This says more about me than you though. Poetry is not something I'm great at. A dabble in limerick, but really I'm just a potty mouth. Each line of this poem sounds great when spoken, even if I haven't quite grasped it lol. Perhaps I'll get back to you on it.

[apennylate]

Thanks so much, Cs, I am glad you enjoyed it, and haha... I hope to perhaps hear an interesting grasping of it, sometime

[csquires]

Fingers crossed lol. Can I invite you to check out my work?

[apennylate]

Of course...! Much better to just ask me, like so, then wait for a RR... I can be pretty busy... Would love to check it out

[Bala Gorthi]

Beautiful wordplay as all your writes have. I salute to your creativity in weaving the words into melody. I loved that lamer than lame section very much.
Thank you for sharing.

[apennylate]

A very humble thank you, Bala, glad you liked it... I appreciate it a lot...
