Poem -
"WHAT"
A bucket of blood, years of tears and hustling in the hood.
Mind bending, becoming accustomed to life ending.
Sacrifices made, due to debts that must be paid.
An unspoken code of Love-A-La-Mode.
True, Chains have been broken, but restrains still remains that are choking.
Discovering, overcoming, anything, can be surprising, a true test to the Titan.
When you live by, you die by, at the end of the day you should know why , this is the code you go by.

Ya Ya,
After reading "Pass On By"- I went looking for more of your work. Being "N" Love (clever way with the title by the way) was for your man - so this one "What" was like sunshine this morning. Have you gotten a chance to see any of my work? I feel like I've been an outsider at a foreign school and one of my homegirls has finally shown up (you). Has anyone else reached out to you yet? Keep writing- at least for your number one fan.

Sister,
I don't know exactly who's in charge of traffic control on this site. I'm getting comments meant for others- I find comments to my work under someone else's name. Were you the one who wanted to "hang out in lonely limbo"? If so, we can go private (well-lit site, other patrons)- just to talk - e-mail jwhaley2000@yahoo.com
Brother,
Yes, I was gonna hang out with you in lonely limbo, that was YaYa, that's been a few days now, but I was brand new to you guys site, at first I was scared and thought I was gonna need a buddy to show me the ropes and tell me how to handle all the negativity, but guess what James? I haven't gotten any negativity. I might be able to become like one of the regulars on here getting hit up with thousands of views from fans. By the way I caught that #1 fan thing, gosh don't freak me out James. I have never had a #1 fan, I hope I don't disappoint you,
Ya Ya,
What a difference a day makes- first, I'm glad you've found your niche. I am NOT the welcoming committee. I've been here for about a month and I have yet to hear any negative comments from any sector (I check out something that catches my eye and not only comment but read what others have to say about that particular artist). What might happen is you notice a lot of people reading your work without comment (or is that just me?). Don't get "freaked out"- I might get bumped from the #1 fan spot- when others start to notice you. How about if I need a buddy? That whole "limbo" thing is due to a sudden silence after some initial attention. It made me feel like I offended the poetry gods and nobody spoke of my alleged crime. Let me shut up. Don't be a stranger.
