Thanks I felt it is about as close

as I get to slam poetry.It was a structure draft for a while that I went back and refreshed that is why I like the revision feature here at Neopoet.Jess Weird Elf has helped me find styles and i always get helpful feed back from him a mentor...so when I found out they had a mentor program up their sleeves I got excited to think that others will define and hone their talents as well. My progress here at Neopoet comes with reading the poems of others as well as the comments about their poems.I hope you find examples that inspire you here as well. In ink, Dabbler

Style and grace in a rant? Nice Nice ! or it would be at least a pet peeve of mine except for my all time fav - "Some times ya feel like a nut, some times ya don't." On the dashboard, Mark

How true it is...

I too have observed how we are being manuvered. Scarier if you look back into the history books on the uses of propaganda to promote what we think and want..great poem..
