Introduce yourself....
Hello, you who started this site and you who haunt this place...
I don't know what to express (that's most of the time)
I feel pain I feel scorn, I feel outrage, I feel cheated, and yet I feel gifted and grateful, always. (not much sense does a walking controversy make.)
Who am I?
I AM...angry black man..
child of the 60s...
lost & forsaken...
navy veteran...
former convict...
revolutionary minded, and too old to do anything about it!
old, bitter black man...
democratic but frustrated 'n____'....
intelligent, perceptive, and broke...
19 years sober via 12 step philosophy...
spiritually and emotionally wounded...
and Still looking for a voice, or a place where the one I have will be heard...
Your site name reminded me of an organization by the same name 'Underground Poetry, from many years ago.
Thank you for the venue. Shout out to all expressionists who choose the written word as art form.

its funny, petty words thrown onto the screen of your computer are supposed to describe who I am, what i stand for, and give you a biased opinion on whether I am the type of person you could even begin to comprehend or even make simple talk to. In a world where people hide behind their fake bodies and painted on faces, who's to say those words that you had no intention of grasping in the first place are even fact about me or my life? I could be just like you. I could sit back and watch the world fall into pieces like the civilizations of past, yet fall asleep at night worrying about next months fashion. Or maybe I'm not like the clones and androids of the present day. Maybe im not afraid to tell the truth or fall in love. Maybe I dont cower behind a television but actually try to make this world a world worth living in.
maybe i am just a hypocrite.
By the way my name is Kimber'lie, yes, spelled exactly how it's typed.

I am Jessa, I am an artist but also an erotic poetry writer. I searched long and hard to discover a site that would allow me to post things that are on the little more obscene side of writing. And here I am! I look forward to delving into the deep depths of your writings as well as making a highly sensual impact with mine...
Hi, I would like to introduce myself with a question.
Ludwig Wittgenstein once wrote - with regard to philosophy- "What can be said at all can be said clearly, and what we cannot talk about we must pass over in silence."
What does that mean to POETRY
i. in general
and
ii. Does it mean that most of poetry has to go by untold?
Any suggestions???

Welcome Sodium.
Maybe introduce yourself here and start a thread in the "Discussion" forum with your question, as not to flood this thread with a topic.
Anyway, just because the man says it, doesn't make it so. So for me, it means nothing to poetry.

Hello, am so glad that I joined this little world of ours :). and sodium589 - I think poetry should be shared just to see and feel the connection with other people and this will bring people closer together. But there are poetry's that you get selfish over that you don't want the world to see as if you have your own little secret beauty that is too precious for you to share.
