Graffiti Electricity
Raptures of concrete
Five stories high
Legacies of the streets
Inherited with backdrop skies
Tattooed walls for outlaws
Society of the untamed
Chasing crazed brain fame
Stolen bricks of unsold gold
Colors exposed and paroled
Escaping an incarcerated mind
Sketches showcasing mankind
Spray can dreams that combine
Gangster calligraphy
Kilowatts of creativity

Author's Note
Had a quick convo with someone about graffiti art and how
not all art should be in a showroom. I love graffiti. The grander the better.
Especially with real creativity and booming colors:)
Not listening to anything - just me and my muse:)

Hell yeah A.
This truly reads electric.
Perfect implementation of the elements,
from internal rhyme to stanza size and structure.
Polished yet open.
You have a gift for phrases, for shore...
[Killowatts of creativity]
Just placed so righteous.
Really brought out the sophistication of the seemingly primal.
Jazz and graffiti as American art forms?
Dig.
:)))
And how these energies might interact with The Writing...
I just am deeply inspired by these things.

Hell yeah to your Hell yeah!!! hahaha
Thanks for your snaps buddy:)
Love looking at the art on buildings when I drive into the city.
Just can't look too long without getting into a wreck.
(only almost happened a few times) hehehe
Only the good stuff though. Not the random scribbles of kids.
The vibrant colors - the imagination of it - just so so so amazing to
gaze up at -and how they use spray cans for their pens!!!!
Man - straight up electrified talent!
So glad you enjoyed this write:)
Later Killogator. heheheh

Hey Al:)
Thank you for your awesome bloody comment!!
I do love gazing up at good graffiti.
The whole underbelly of the lifestyle and somehow
manifesting beauty from it regardless.
Then finding a building and saying F**** it.
I'm putting it right here. Ha!
Lovely hearing from ya:)

I may not know a lot about writing, but I know what I like, and I like this.
I'm not a big fan of most graffiti, but I'm a big fan of turning a phrase into a masterpiece.
Awesome write.

I sooooo agree with you!!!
Nothing more disappointing then finding a masterpiece
that has tags all over. Like reading bad poetry - hahahah. I love that.
For me - it has to be good graffiti.
Stuff that expands the imagination and won't
fit in an art studio.
Even run down neighborhoods should be able to have their own version of an art gallery without feeling like an outcast.
Just my two cents:)
Thanks for the showcase comment buddy:)))
Always wonderful to hear your thoughts on my stuff.
Or just in general:)
Thanks for stopping by amigo!

I'm going to lend you my Home Depot credit card, so you can buy a bunch of cans of spray paint! Do up some graffiti !
Your poem has a great vibe to it. I can sense the city scene, nightlife, classic cars lowered, Carlos Santana playing his guitar...
Very awesome scenario you created!

Hey Amigo,
Dude, if I go to Home Depot I'm getting a
BBQ pit (I can kick ass at BBQ),
checking out the tile
and browsing the doors (love looking at them - don't ask why)
I'm afraid I would just draw Styx (see what I did there heheh) people. I would have better luck drawing with
waterproof eyeliner than spray paint:)
In all seriousness - thanks for the snaps!!! Love Santana and the whole vibe of his music. What a great comment you gave!!!
Have a great weekend!!!

Re. Graffiti Electricity
Not sure I completely agree with you. I prefer graffiti that carries a message I can actually read but... depending where it is placed, I would consider it 'vandalism.' For example, would you be happy with it on the side wall of your house? Graffiti can be powerful but often depends where it it put, in my view.

Hey Billy:)
Honestly, if it was done in good taste I would love it painted on the side of my house:) Might even cook them BBQ and collaborate once I catch them in the act.
I can see where you're coming from though if it's not your thing.
I actually had two sides of my son's room painted in graffiti.
Huge angel wings above a boardwalk that has people on rollerblades below. If you stand in the middle of the wings it looks like you are wearing them - too cool!!!

Hey Tim!!
Sorry for the late response. I have been moving and trying to get my internet up and going. Ughh. What a total nightmare!!
Thanks for your snaps buddy.
I love tatts. I have one on the back of my neck that reads princess.
A nickname my hubby gave me. His best friend gave it to me at our
kitchen table. LOL It is awesome. I need to take a pic and post as my avatar sometime.
My favorite line as well:)
