Welcome, the poem, soon to be ‘spoken word’

I created this poem to perform as spoken word for my first Pay Day collaboration turning my Gravy Baby poem to song Introducing Ray the Musical Poet.  It was to be my intro but I’m not nearly ready to attempt spoken word yet, it’s quite the challenge.  If you don’t know much about spoken word I encourage you take a look.

I want to share the poem with you.  I’m excited to get it ready to perform.  This poem puts into word my passion for collaboration of the arts, to create something new.

I sometimes find myself reading other peoples poetry and not quite understanding what’s being said.

I really enjoyed writing this poem, so I’m going to share it with you.  I have been playing with the ideas of time, transition, elevation, thought, dimension and progression.

I am a big movie buff.  I would even go as far as to say that I prefer to watch a movie over  reading a book. *gasp*.  I love the big screen, the loud sound and watching writers words and tales come to life!  I also love eating unhealthy, yummy, buttery popcorn.  It’s the little things in life right?

The Granby Zoo in Granby, Quebec, Canada is one of our favorite places to go with the children.  I would love to escape for a day away here with the family.

Addiction,

It’s like a grappling hook

Pulling into,

grabbing

Digging into rock

A false sense of safety

Trust and faith in a rope

A hook that can fail

And leave you spiraling

Falling

Tumbling

Down to the ground

You grab hold of the rope

Pulling
