WesSyde Posted May 27, 2006 Report Share Posted May 27, 2006 in my English class, we have to do a spoken word poem for our final project of the year. we've been studying lots of rap music which is cool. we studied Blackalicious' "Alphabet Aerobics" which i know some people know and we studied "Def Poetry" hosted by Mos Def. the final poem we do has to be presented and total 3 minutes long!!! but i've gotten off to a good start i think, i decided to write about cars, this stanza in particular is about my car. I drive a Dodge Spirit, system pumping so you can hear it Lyric for lyric of ambient vocals, bass and snare kickin’ People often laugh when I tell them that it’s a V6 Can’t do much about it though ‘cause I don’t stack chips You can feel the vibration of the motor reverberations But that’s overshadowed when I kick the 500 watt bass in It’s painted candy green, I call it the green machine And since I don’t have any bills I’m sitting on stock wheels They 14’s but I keep ‘em clean, chrome 20’s would be dream The interior is cream but dirty and the seats are torn at their seams Thank God the air conditioner works when I need cold air Ain’t got no sunroof though, so no fresh air to blow in my hair It leaks every kind of fluid so that’s always one of my fears I get impatient, frustrated when the transmission won’t shift gears Gotta stay up on the gas gauge, ‘cause in this age my fuel pump is dyin Keep tryin and tryin, but no luck, push it to the station and fill up with 40 bucks Gotta be thankful for my ride though even though it’s not reliable It’s ability to get me from place to place is appreciated and undeniable i will probably continue later on with stuff about other cars that i like, but i just whipped this up in like 15 minutes, which is strange because usually when i try to write, i get writers block and i suck at rhyming words. i thought this came to me really well and i think its some of my best work. if you guys can give me feedback even tho i never post here i would appreciate it.

Turntable Posted May 27, 2006 Report Share Posted May 27, 2006 Its funny. I couldnt write that much about car, certainly not in 15 minutes. I guess your poem is gonna be just fine. You might play a lil bit more with the language. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
