Here's a writing exercise we did in my Performance Poetry Class a while back.
We had to create a poem out of questions.
I just wrote a string of poetic questions that have nothing to do with each other.
Why does she give birth to more children than sonnets?
When did we become more like ants than gorillas?
Why do we enslave ink in our pens and then put them on the auction block of paper?
Why are our heads filled with brains instead of hearts?
Why must I walk in your shoes to know your story wouldn't it be better to walk in your skin?
Why does it matter how many colors are in the rainbow when we don't appreciate them equally anyway?
How many poets does it take to screw in a light bulb? None because they're too busy writing about its former luminescence.

Free Write (hopped up on caffeine)
I'm just letting these words flow through me like
energy
like extensions
of myself
leaking through my fingers on to solid keys
transcribed onto bright white screen
laying on the cyber page
so serene
thick like cream
can you taste me yet
let me feed you visually
watch my words slither down the screen
watch them like a body
from the head to the feet
can you feel me
I am seeping into you
my words go right through you like.......

LIVE FREE WRITE
Right now I'm just gonna blog a free write (10 bars) based on the last thing I see on twitter lol. NO EDITING, NO BS Here it goes:
necolebitchie:
im flipping through the channels and they have a whole segment dedicated to Gabby Sidibe weight smh...
Are you intimidated by her roles or her rolls
Just cuz your skinny butt can't act and you're wack
Gabby is taking it to new levels while you're stuck on the same one
Why are you hating on your fellow colored woman
I love it when an intelligent black woman is on my TV screen
So what's up with the attitude? what do you mean...
smh? shaking your head?
You should be clapping instead
Really surprised at you necolebitchie
I guess this is why Gabby's way more richie
LMAO... I am so corny

Read this today in my Performance Poetry class
Enjoy!
My Crow, Soft Word
you were my favorite
grammatical error
no matter how much I tried to fix you, you just kept
popping
up
on my page as incorrect
I kept typing you in over and over in different orders
and you still came up in Spell Check
I gave my all.
Placing my brackets around places I never put them before
Inserting your comma within my quotation marks
Entering and back spacing
entering and back spacing
ENTER
BACK
SPACE
SPACE, TAB, SHIFT, SHIFT, ALT,
CONTROL
RETURN
until my fingers hurt
My friends said, "This is a fragment, consider revising"
But I begged to differ
I was determined to mold you into the perfect phrase
I tried everything that i could yet
you still had that little green squiggly line dwelling underneath you
you really began to piss me off
you were the one thing ruining my life's masterpiece
so i decided maybe my memoir was better off with out you
and miraculously
all my problems were over once i hit that button.
DELETE.
