Thanks! I don't understand a lot ofspoken-word stuff, but I guess it would fit this. When I was submitting this, i looked all over for the Emotional category, but it wasnt' there! so i just chose general, which kinda sucked, but it worked.

i don't get that. i made my brother listen to alix olson who is a spoken word poet and he was completely lost by then end of the second song. its not so frustrasting. to me it's easier to listen to because it's like poetry but with some actual rhythm you can hear. i don't know i guess you'd have to throw it under prose and not poetry but for some reason my mind puts it together better than most. i don't know but i stick with written poetry when it comes to personal works. i have a few spoken in my gallery but not many. those are more like spontaneous splurges of rambuction (i know its not a word) and angst if you know what i mean. sometimes i just have bursts of thought and feeling that i need to get out be it towards the government or the way my own mind works, somehow i end up getting pissed off enough to write a good spoken word here and there. i just actually started trying it recently since i discovered alix but sometimes changes are just necessary. i was so bored with life and she was exactly what i needed.
