The Poets Condor
The condor flyÂ’s
Amongst the hills
In open skies
Of San Jerrónimo,
Near HuancayoÂ…
Forbidding any
To near his path—
Lest he dare
To risk a attack,
Near Huancayo!...

Fate of a Poet
Poets have an abundance of
Consonants
A few vowels (for transparency)
And no money

Of moldy cloths
Some displayed
In windowsÂ…;

Has a courtship
With the Gordian Knot—;
And raw rice for the devil!...

I see her walking, but I say a Read More...
Questions
When I am alone
I think of you
I remember your smell
And the things that you do
What are you doing
This moment that is here
Are you laughing I wonder
Yes I ponder, my dear
Do you think of me also
IÂ’d be interested to know
Do you wonder where I am

Spreading the words: The IV Poets are keeping spoken word alive in St. Pete (when they're not giving each other shit) By Andrew Silverstein The IV Poets like to talk. They talk a lot: to each other, to themselves, to anyone willing to listen, and quite eloquently at that. Brian Duncan, Dave Durney, Jason Bruzzichesi and Khomeni Hopkins look and sound like any ordinary group of 20-to-30something guys: two black, two white, dapper, idealistic, aware. All work at the St. Petersburg restaurant Savannah's except ... Read More...
