Laws Of Poetic Property ~NEW EVOCA

Self recorded.. not perfect.. but.. still a great creative outlet. :o)

 

 

From this day forward
All violators will be prosecuted
For all the alphabetic individuals
They've prostituted
For personal gain
All pens will be confiscated
And held as evidence
Under poetic domain
And we will retain
Strict levels of surveillance
To ensure that all measures
Are being taken
To prevent
Any further damage
To the poetic name

Throughout
The past decade
We have begun to see
More and more poetic exploitation
And decided to form a foundation
In hope that inspiration
Can once again be restored
We can't afford
To be losing minds
To such demeaning material

Therefore
To take action
We have decided to
Write the future
For all of those
Whom under us
Will carry on the tradition
Of rhythm and rendition
Putting forth nothing
But highbrow compositions
Completely supportive
Of what poetry and spoken word
Is meant to be

I hereby decree
That poetry
Will not come to be
Something dead
The time has come
We surpassed
All the intellectual discrimination
Creating a new rhythmic generation
To better the welfare of lingual affect
We have the right to protect
All the words that stabilize our creativity
And have seen too much negativity
Surround the basis of what we choose to represent

We ask for all to write in compliance
With our alliance
As we try to make the poetic world
A better place
And hope that the past illusionists that called themselves poets
Can be replaced
With those more worthy of the cause

Let us
Together
Write the Future

i REALLY liked the first stanza.
All pens will be confiscated
And held as evidence
Under poetic domain
And we will retain
Strict levels of surveillance
To ensure that all measures
Are being taken
To prevent
Any further damage
To the poetic name


great poem, otherwise. it reminds me that some people...i guess they dont know where the boundary lies for writing trash or treasure. no self-control really and all their arguments are weak.

[bob, small b. aka invs]

oh oh... writers cafe will be virtually empty, but i'm all for it.

i really enjoyed this piece. it gets to stay and you get to keep your pen. where does one sign up to join the poetry police?

[Michael X]

this is a dream in language, and the flow comes to life in the readers thoughts as full blooming passionate
creativeness and subtle, powerful meaning, spoken word as it's meant to be.

[Brjden (Bridge-Den) Cre..]

Dope Li Li! And very creative! I know that had to be tough keeping with a public service announcement and still keep a clean, rhythmic flow like that! Very entertaining, poetic and visual! I could see this announcement interrupting a tv show and read word for word. I digs Li Li, and I hope you're not gonna take my pen away from me! Snapping my fingers in applause....

[Xeru]

Simply put... Nothing worst than a biter or someone secretly leeching off of your energy for their own personal gain. I like the sternness because it is a serious offense. Nobody wants to be studied and then reproduced. Good write and I cant wait to do our collab!

[Angel's Lady]

Powerfully written, dynamically conceived
Leaving no stone unturned, no one deceived.
One more opinion, based upon fact
'Lay down the pen, and pick up some tact'.
The deaf see now, the blind can hear.
Message received, loud and clear.

Great job.

"I hereby decree
That poetry
Will not come to be
Something dead"

I've been fighting for that for a long time! So many times Lady Art has had near death experiences, but luckily, she's not fallen off th edge yet.

Great poem, brilliant! Lets hope the message doesn't go unheard and echoes for all to pay heed!

[Marvin Lewis Jr.]

Powerful!!!
My favorite part was "We can't afford to be losing minds"
I can honestly say that I've never read anything like this before, I really enjoyed it.
Its a very vehement point of view that deserves a standing ovation!

[Allie]

This is simply amazing ... and unfortunately too true in today's world. Thank you for bringing to light something that is an ever-growing concern. Hopefully we can find some real poets who will carry on true inspiration. Wonderful work!

I enjoyed the stanza "I hereby decree/That poetry/Will not come to be/Something dead/The time has come/We surpassed/All the intellectual discrimination/Creating a new rhythmic generation/To better the welfare of lingual affect/We have the right to protect/All the words that stabilize our creativity/And have seen too much negativity/Surround the basis of what we choose to represent "

The entire poem had a really great, uplifting message for poetic scribes out there. I could completely see this being read in a modern-poetry type of way. The flow of it with the loose but connected rhyme scheme was brilliant. Great job! And congrats on the contest!

[Bill Rembert Sr.]

Bravo! Great poem and definitely worth the top prize. I l-o-v-e your flow. Bill
