Apropos

Wanted to WRITE my way out of a block today. So I had to pose a question: How many wordsmiths does it take to make you say, "Oh, s**t!"?

How many wordsmiths does it take to make you say...

Oh, s**t!?

I say 'a hunnid', 'cause I'm more real than the chase for the bill is....

(No s**t!)

put a couple in my hands, so I know what the dough is....

Set my alarm clock on the early,

wake up and start baking like the doughnut guy did.

Intent on hawking down dreams that get more real with each scene....

I hear 'em yellin' action....

I need to be seen....

because this s**t is a trip.

No, really.....

how many wordsmiths does it take to make you say....

Oh, s**t!?

the latest instrument I've learned to master sits on the tip of my two lips;

be careful when it slips away and sails from the ship,

it feels like the barrage from a full clip, with the guts of a hock spit and

the trigger-mans moxy.

Approximately seventy-percent of the nations haters can drown in the water as I

watch from the harbor.

I need the other thirty to watch slowly as I negotiate with the man, a smart barter.

They let me keep my freedom of speech if I agree to keep the peace;

but...no, really....

how many wordsmiths does it take to make you say....

Oh, s**t!?

Just one, son....you just gotta get the right tongue.

Lol this is hot!!! You should do open mic, seriously.
I can relate to this:

"Approximately seventy-percent of the nations haters can drown in the water as I

watch from the harbor.

I need the other thirty to watch slowly as I negotiate with the man, a smart barter."

The poem had finesse, strategy, realness and swagger. I'm sure the writer's block is gone.

Nice write!

It never ceases to amaze me how you so freely create art. It seems to come so effortlessly, yet I know how hard you have to work at it. This one is going into favorites. I love the question how many wordsmiths... and also the lines:
Approximately seventy-percent of the nations haters can drown in the water as I

watch from the harbor.

I need the other thirty to watch slowly as I negotiate with the man, a smart barter.
Your poetry is a celebration of defiant freedom. Long live poetry!
