To the Beat-nicks of our generation

The past; a window to our futures.

Beat nick

Flip-pedy. Flick

Pick-kedy pick.

Summer licks

 

Stamps, lamps

Flicker the beat

Shifting in your seat

Lets. Meet…

 

Eyes talk, get lost

Intrigue.

Ears listen, muffle.

Volume: Loud

Something covered your mouth.

 

People, be-little

Rocking against you; sweat.

Eyes judging

And the posh mats

Relapse, repeat

Feel the beat, pure music.

 

Engulfed by jazz

You feel uncomfortable.

The fiery beats inside you rumble

Like thunder claps and ice-cold flesh.

In the middle of music mesh.

Flying!

Clawing through your satin sash.

 

The walls crumble

You break free, you stumble.

Dance! Its just me.

No people.

No one else

 

Don’t look.

Sea of people.

Vanish gone

*Poof

Sea?  No. Its me

See.

Heres to a voice of generation! To every poet, artist, musician =)

I thought you captured the Beats in a very good way. I liked the jazz and the play on words, very upbeat and free flowing. Kerouac would be proud. If you have time would you mind checking out my work -it's just one piece of writing so far - it's not beat but it does have to do with some Buddhism and I would really like to get feedback, thanks.

Nicely done keep up the good work.

I very much enjoy this. The rhythm is neat. It flows musically. I like how it seems to build, especially with the use of longer phrases progressively. And then I like how it seems to pop back to a quicker, shorter phrased rhythm.

That was really something. It really captured the scene and the feelings of this (what seems like a) young lady.
Fantastic piece.

I was thinking about rape through the first couple of stanzas, but the end brought it all together. Sorry for the mix-up. Good work.

[VelvetRosetta]

I enjoyed this, it was a very fun piece to read as well as the bongos being played in the background lol I think Hippostomp was right, I could imagine that sound to this piece!!!

Oh wow! Now this could be spoken with such power! The form of this piece holds immense tension....I could hear this out loud :)
The word use and structure is sublime!
