An Introduction

I hopped on the EE bandwagon after seeing some of the excellent work being posted here by a number of my friends. I had for some time toyed with the idea of starting a blog of my own, somewhere to post my writings that was not Deviant Art and this provided me with that opportunity.

I write because I love it, not because I do it particularly well, and I always appreciate constructive criticism. I hope to be posting almost exclusively new material on this site and forward those who want to read my earlier work to my DA page (found on my profile). However for this evening I have a recent poem for your perusal.

I call it The Side Street Waltz;

Watch me step-slide

to the rhythm of a boom box

rattling broken windows.

I dance my soft toe by the train tracks

on cracked cement and leaves of grass,

I've moon walked over rooftops

in the moonlight,

past broken street lights,

under stars.

I've thrown a head spin

through a broken heart,

and turned a pirouette on a stage

lit by source fours and footlights.

And it's a lindy hop,

two step,

mosh pit,

dodging slings and arrows in this life of mine.

Who says

white boys can't dance?
