15652, Add on ~For Battle Emcee's and Poets ~From a Poet~
Posted by InGeniousPoet, Tue Jul-19-05 04:18 PM
I was reading a battle one wretched day at my horrendous excuse for an income generator. I was going to feast myself to the punchlines of emcees
and in between calls, i planned on kickin a bit o' honest opinions to people about their writings,
Because frankly I've been a member for a ~Minute~ but hardly ever have the time to
absorb,
infuse,
and frankly let folks know I love this place.

But there inlies my problem.

A minus B times C equals D but I have no clue how math can have letters in it but I have every clue on why
the battle I was reading wasnt feeding me anything
except negative energy.

I could name names but that would expose my non partisanship and the last thing I want to do,
in between calls,
Is have another person mis-understand me.

So here it goes.

many flows here are beautiful in their grittyness. many are simple. many dont get the respect they deserve. But I do notice that many people post several writings
or flows
And form cliques.
and claim Hateration.

I could do that too. You could do that too. We all could. couldnt we? we gotta go thru training when we first get on,
then we get the shitty shifts,
then we dont get the respect our peers do

But we move on. Grow. Learn. Become power players.

Trains movin' and Boxcarboys travel on trains of thought

think you can write a verse that has pneumonia?

think you can write how someone in the doldrums feels? for real?

think you can write about hair grease and scrambled eggs?

Boxcarboys and Girls ride trains of thought on imaginations railways.
