"Cadence and Intonation" ... A Poem written by Big Virge 20/10/2005

I've Had This Said ...
A Couple of Times ...
 
My Cadence Is TIGHT ...
When Reciting Rhymes ... !!!
 
The Movement of Sound ...
When I ... Vocalise ...
 
Which Is Also Known ...
As ... INTONATION ...
 
If You're Reading This ... ?
That's .... Education .... !!!
Cos' Words Like These ...
Have Close Relations ... !!!
 
NO NOT Like THAT ... !!!
But That's A ... FACT ... !!!

 
Intonation And Cadence ...
Make For Good Entertainment  ... !!!
When Done With STYLE ... !!!
 
But You NEED A Good Voice ...
That Is ... TOP Choice ... !!!

 
And Keeps The Ladies ....
Slightly ... " MOIST " ...
 
Pay Attention Now Boys ... !!!
Cos' A Voice That's ... " SWEET " ...
Can Help You Get ...
Girls In Your Sheets ... !!!
 
YES For ... RELATIONS ... !!!!!
So We're Back Again ...
To ... INTONATION ...
 
If You Use It WELL ...
You Make Pulses RISE ...
Just Like ... INFLATION ...
Or Just Like England's Taxation ... !!!
 
But KEEP Your Cadence Moving On ...
Keep It Slick And NOT TOO Blatant ...
Cos' That Can Make Some ...  
LOSE Their .......................... Patience ... !!!
 
Then Your Message Is LOST ...
Like Beds For Patients ... !!!
 
Intonation Is A Wonderful Gift ...
So I'm Using Mine For Poetic Scripts ...
Cos' When The Two Get Together ...
 
It's A ... PERFECT FIT ... !!!!!
 
Like Guns And Clips ... !!!
Or Cues And Tips ...
Or A Great Pair of Lips ...
Around A STIFF ... DRINK ... !!!!!
 
Did You Get The Link ... ?
See Words I Write ...
Make People THINK ... !!!
 
And Leave Some Resting ....
On The ... BRINK ... !!!

 
Or On The ... VIRGE ... !!!
Cos' Some of My Words ...
Make People ... SINK ...
Into Leather Chairs ...
Talking To ... Shrinks ... !!!
 
But Cadence Linked To Intonation ...
Makes My Message Seem Less Blatant ...
 
My Message Is Honed ...
To ... UNIFY Nations ...
Through Usage of Prose ...  
And ... INTONATION ... !!!
 
Are You With Me Folks ... ?
Can You See The ... " Relation " ... ?
Or BETTER Still The Slick Connection ... !!!
 
My Message Is STRONG ...
And Has ... Direction ... !!!
 
But Does Inflection ...
DIVERT ............ Attention ... ?!?
 
Well THAT's A Subject ...
WORTH ... Inspection ... !!!
 
Does My Voice Attract ... ?
Or Is It Because I'm BIG and Black ... ?!?
And Do NOT Run From PAINFUL Facts ...
When Using Words To WOUND Infections ... !!!
And EXPOSE THOSE Who Have DEFECTIONS ... !!!
 
Sometimes I Laugh ...  
When I Read This Stuff ... !!!
 
Cos' CLEARLY Some Get In A HUFF ... !!!
And Wish That I Would Just SHUT UP ... !!!
 
That's Cool With Me ...
But PAY ATTENTION PLEASE ... !!!!!
 
My Poetry Will NEVER Freeze ... !!!
And NOBODY Will Stop My Speech ...
From Reaching Those It NEEDS To REACH ... !!!
 
Well Someone CAN ...
Guess Who ... Yes ME ... !!!
 
But That I'm Afraid Is UNLIKELY ... !!!
Cos Yoda Has Instilled In Me ...
 
THESE Three Words ...
 
"It's Your Destiny !"
 
I'm FEELING That ...
Are You Feeling ME ... ?
 
Feel Free To Applaud ...
If You Like My Style of Poetry ... !!!
 
I'll Continue To Read ...
While My Mind Runs FREE ...
And Want My Words ...
To OUTLAST Me ... !!!
 
Through Publishing And OTHER Things ...
Like TEACHING The Dumb To STOP KILLING ... !!!
 
But THAT Will Be WITHOUT My Voice ...
Soothing Mics' With Baritone Noise ...
 
Well That's The FUTURE ...
But While I'm Here ...
I'll KEEP ON Speaking And Relating ...
 
By Using STRONG ...
 
... " Cadence and Intonation " ...
