Poetry, have I ever written poetry? I'm sure that I have scribbled down poetic thoughts and that some of my lyrics and raps could stand on their own without music. But I am unaccustomed to sharing my poetic thoughts unsupported by music, melody and performance, naked.
Fortunately most of my poems are currently on another continent and I am temporarily saved from the embarrassment of sharing them. But in time I will make the effort to overcome my shyness and expose my naked thoughts to a disinterested world.
