Where it starts…

A Poetic Career

Where it starts…

Bounced out on my mother’s knee

Borrowed from libraries (always free)

Heard in hip-hop (rap from new schools)

My first vocal efforts (using raw tools)

Self-published and over-read

Out to the public…something to be said

Shared online…shared with you

My love lies here…in entry number two

And what do I want to say?
