5-Minute Cool Down - NEW POEM

Welcome back,

Thanks for stopping by once again. If you've been following me at all, you've probably caught on to my "15-Minute Workouts", basically my way of practicing my art while in preparation for my book release. Well, today my mind has been flooded with inspiration and I kind of had an epiphany: every good "workout" needs a "cool down". So, with that in mind, I prepared (past the midnight hour) a "5-Minute Cool Down". Let me know what you think. Thanks again for your support and for visiting!

5-Minute Cool Down

Lest my words fall on deaf ears
I admit – this is one of my fears
That my words don’t get out
My feelings and expressions finally let out
Making the inner me known
Making all of my enemy’s covers blown
Giving my opinions
My perspective’s freely shared
People may not agree with my opinion
Which is why the title “Flawed” was so aptly prepared
The words are meant to pierce hearts
Maybe even inspire smarts
Individual thinking can be an innovator
Deep inside of each of us is where the fire starts
So listen and read carefully
Can’t say for how long you’ll continue to hear from me
This is meant to nourish the brain
With no regard to if you may be near and dear to me
Avoiding being a respecter of persons
These words are fresh with no rehearsing
Pure unadulterated truth
Minus the obscenities and cursing…

TEN-Minute Workout (4/23/2010) - NEW POEM

Hey,

This is probably my quickest post that I've ever done. I am in a hurry, so hence the TEN minute workout, less the normal 5 additional minutes. I just had some words on my mind and had to get it out before I get back to work. Share your thoughts! Peace!

10-Minute Workout – Part One

My goal is to be a master of words
Using quirky quotes and metaphors
Working to lead the league
Game after game, posting a better score
So that you can’t ignore
All eyes zoom in and take notice
Google me, soon
In due time, the world will know the one who wrote this
Appreciate your focus
Look at the masterpiece under construction
With classics in the making
Past “honorable mention” when my work is in discussion
Causing eyes to water up
Knees quiver up and get to buckling
No longer overlooked
Simply put – W.A.’s up to something
I’m hungry and thirsty, simultaneous
I’m on the hunt, not to be famous
Not only seeking “Bucks” for “eyes”
I’m hunting for more, like wolverines from Michigan
Want to find the broken hearts
Use my mended words so they can be fixed again
Long-lost “loves” never missed again
Reuniting separated Misters and Misses again
My whole purpose goes beyond the surface and natural
My words may come across fantastic
But they’re so relative and natural
It’s actual
Because I know that so many feel and can relate
My compilation’s is coming soon
Grab the calendar and save the date
And, no, it’s not a grand wedding or reunion date
But I promise, that my book’ll be something special
And well worth the wait
So spread the word
Or better yet, make sure that you’ve reread my words
Since sometimes seeing is believing
And many believe more of what they’ve seen than what they’ve heard…
