poetry

Lessons I learned while I was gone By Batshit It’s been over two years since I hit the road This life I had long romanticized finally came to fruition And it’s been overall way different Than I had anticipated After leaving you behind So long ago I’ve watched myself grow In so many ways And...

Here’s a video of this poem being performed live And here’s the written version for those who prefer to read it: Homeward Bound By Batshit After a night of drinking, dancing, moshing and debauchery, my friends tell me “Get home safe” And every time I’m told these words, They engage...

Hey there! Draggin' here! Hope y'all are makin' it through this winter warmer than expected, and healthy. I've been in the works of a lot of more "stationary" projects since housed up. This involves actually getting a literary distro up and running, and starting an all queer poets collective...

So this is Part II of my trilogy "From Dawn 'Till Dusk." I hope you enjoy... --High Noon-- Behold! the sunrise has cleared, a distant morn', let's pursue the final path and take this kingdom with a pawn-- no brawn--knowledge and wisdom trumps the strength of ten men, so change your guards...

I wrote this ode back in 2018, all in one sitting (though it took a couple of hours) after watching a movie I can't quite recall the name of; but the theme music that played periodically through the movie had a dark and depressing cast to it (it was some sort of second rate film), and the tune...

I posted something similar to this a couple years ago, but that was a call for songs and playlists. What lyrics or lines of poetry do you find yourself humming or thinking about when the urge to travel hits? I've been in Mexico for about 7 months and I'm eager to move on. Here's what I've got...

William Henry Ogilvie My Hat! The hats of a man may be many In the course of a varied career, And some have been worth not a penny And some have been devilish dear; But there's one hat I always remember When sitting alone by the fire. In the depth of a Northern November, Because it fulfilled...

Driving along I-80 in a part of Iowa I’ve never been Sitting in the passenger seat of a car that I don’t own that’s being driven by a man that I don’t know Watching the hills roll by framed by overpasses without off ramps My pack in the back and my water jug at my feet I have never felt so...

Here are a few works of mine from the last 6 months* I decided to post audio, as well as finished write-ups for those who have a personal preference for one, or the other. Also, I'm quite curious as to any of your own feelings in regards to the differences in media. If the same message/rythm...

She was the moon and he was no one. Her color was blue and his black. They met on a few occasions, usually at a party or some other social gathering, but they knew nothing of each other. He didn’t know she was frail. She didn’t know he was small. They never talked, except for the cordial...

I'm going to drop this extremely, heavily plagiarized poem on you, then explain things afterwards!!! I'm pretty sure that Poe is in no position to sue! LET THE STORY BEGIN THROUGH THE PLAGIARAZATION OF THE ONE AND ONLY EDGAR ALLAN POE! Greatest poet of all time...

Recently uploaded a few new tracks to my soundcloud. My profile was getting pretty outdated, but I am now in the process of sharing the works I have come up with since living full-time on the road. More will be coming soon* Hope y'all enjoy*

I'm not sure if this is allowed...couldn't find a rule on "asking for tips on finding a van" ;D I'm in Texas and not having much luck acquiring my new home on wheels. I'd love something converted already with a 6 cylinder engine (or that pretty 5 in a Eurovan if I get lucky price wise). I'd...

Hey there! I've recently been rather idle in regards to travel for the last month n a half.. But! what has come of that, has resulted in the completion of my very first collection of poetry/zine which is titled: Nonsensical Ambivalence ! I made a whole 50 copies, and in celebration- wanted to...

wasn't sure if it fit in travel stories so I put it here... My Mad Garden America ...banging my forehead with poetry books my black flag blinding my eye piercing my flat veil my minds own fascist, persecuting my self with options that don't exist I exude magic of no magic; creative of no...

Hey folks, My name's Kai Carlson-Wee and I write poetry about traveling in the midwest/pacific northwest. Here's a video I shot with my brother on a freight trip earlier this summer. We took the Sunday Night Special from Oakland to Portland and took some photos along the way. The video just got...

First I want to admit that I'm a complete newbie and have never travelled on my own. So if I say something stupid, please try to look past it. And if this is in the wrong section, I apologize. Here's my situation -- Basically what I want to do is be a vagabond poet. I want to travel around the...

I recognize that other threads exist for the purposes of presenting poetry, but this thread is directed particularly to those handful of people who have radical dispositions and seek to free their souls through the power of textual expression. By progressive I mean that through the poem is...

okay so i know this is probably get shot down by a bunch of pussies who are too scared that someone on the internet might see through their anonymous dirty kid dont give a fup the punx asthetic, some will say "why would i post my innermost feelings on the internet thats just plain silly yall". i...

So i really don't like poetry but im assigned to recite a poem for my speech class. Any suggestions on some poems or poets who really criticize people, humanity, and or society? Something that'll piss off 80% of the class for the most part :]

Noob the bull drives past final call CSX to ... where again? are you catching on? 48ers and grainers we're catching on one mile of steel violin screeches singing as we're leaving Bald head peeks from overhead hobnail hop down the ladder how do you do? Leather hands handle the oversize pack...
