Okay folks, I normally don’t post brand new poetry, but what the hell!
Inspired by my egg and cheese croissant that had the nerve to be crunchy.

You triflin’ bastard
Why did my egg and cheese crunch
Give me my money

To finish my list of dope poets (started on January 31, 2003):
Native Son: Along with 13 of Nazereth, one of the most humble cats I’ve come across in the poetry circuit; quiet fire. Has the demaonor that he can't spit hard, but, don't let the demeanor fool you...son is nice.
Femi/The Dri Fish: This is by far one of the funniest and most bizarre dudes I’ve met ever. Some may know Femi as “Smookey Lookey” if they read my ”message/bored?”. Infamous for such lines as, "If I can't have your number, is it okay if I stalk you?" and "If you attempt suicide and survive! Keep trying! cause life is not worth living if you can't reach your goals." Seeing as tho' he frequents this site a bit, maybe he'll bless the message/bored? with a little bit of the poetry that goes with those lines.
Flo Brown: Whew, can I say this chick had me open @ Howard as a poet? Sexy, cute, and powerful with the pen; a deadly combination. You can catch her blazin’ mics now in the rhyme circuit and @ her website, flobrown.com
Takia Richardson: Sounds self serving to have a bunch of illpoets.com and 5th L representatives, but Takia's shit is the truth! She says some feminine shit in a truly base and male manner; I love to see how she catches unsuspecting people off guard. Truly dope when it comes to subtle wordplay.
Q Habeeb- This cat has only been writin’ for a little over a year, and is already winning $500 slams with some of the east coasts finest as competition. Standing at 6’8, Q is truly a sight to see.

The feature last night was extremely fun. I opened up pretty well, which I often have a problem doing, even when I feature. Lynn killed her half of the feature, although she says otherwise. She rocks. I did maybe ten pieces, and still could have done more without overdoing it. I even marketed my stuff, the books, both websites, illpoets.com tee shirts, the web/graphic design stuff…yup, I was pretty thorough for once. I even played myself ny offering to do a bunch of impressions, but couldn’t think of any once I put myself on the spot. Folks had to throw suggestions from the audience: I did Cris Tucker, Sherman Klump, Austin Powers, Dr. Evil, Mr. Burns, Apu & Snake (from The Simpsons), Kermit the Frog, Macho Man Randy Savage, and Hulk Hogan. Pretty diverse, but I forgot my aces in the hole like: Forrest Gump, Ice Cube, Arnold Schwarzenneger, Sylvestor Stallone, Ralph Wiggum (one of my favorites, again…from The Simpsons) just to name a few. It was cool tho’. Whoa, Java Head had this cat that sounded just like Scarface (the rapper, not the movie….come to think of it, I can do scarface (the movie) and characters from Carlito’s way…and Ray Liota in Good Fellas!).
