Salomey, you are such a witty guy and always crack me up. What poetry Ive read has been great, Im sure you could write something really wonderful.You just dont realize it yet.

Salome, in all seriousness you are the most witty member of feedback, and this isnt even your 1st language (God have mercy if any of us had to try and keep up with you in Netherlandish, or is that Hollandanish that you speak?)

anyway, you whine about wanting to be a better writer, but one of the hardest things in the world to do is be clever with language

 

[Bonochick]

Ha ha ha ha!!!! Remember that song "I Wish" by Skee-Lo? Man, that might have been from when I was in middle school...damn...*lol* God, this used to crack me up...

Hello

1-I wish I was little bit taller,
I wish I was a baller,
I wish I had a girl who looked good
I would call her
I wish I had a rabbit in a hat with a bat
and a six four Impala

I wish I was like six-foot-nine
So I can get with Leoshi
Cause she don't know me but yo she's really fine
You know I see her all the time
Everywhere I go, and even in my dreams
I can scheme a way to make her mine
Cause I know she's livin phat
Her boyfriend's tall and he plays ball
So how am I gonna compete with that
'Cause when it comes to playing basketball
I'm always last to be picked
And in some cases never picked at all
So I just lean up on the wall
Or sit up in the bleachers with the rest of the girls
Who came to watch their men ball
Dag y'all! I never understood, black
Why the jocks get the fly girls
And me I get the hood rats
I tell 'em scat, skittle, scabobble
Got hit with a bottle
And I been in the hospital
For talkin' that mess
I confess it's a shame when you livin' in a city
That's the size of a box and nobody knows yo' name
Glad I came to my senses
Like quick-quick got sick-sick to my stomach
Overcommeth by the thoughts of me and her together
Right?
So when I asked her out she said I wasn't her type
(rpt 1, 1)

I wish I had a brand-new car
So far, I got this hatchback
And everywhere I go, yo I gets laughed at
And when I'm in my car I'm laid back
I got an 8-track and a spare tire in the backseat
But that's flat
And do you really wanna know what's really whack
See I can't even get a date
So, what do you think of that?
I heard that prom night is a bomb night
With the hood rats you can hold tight
But really tho' I 'm a figaro
When I'm in my car I can't even get a hello
Well so many people wanna cruise Crenshaw on Sunday
Well then I'ma have to get in my car and go
You know I take the 110 until the 105
Get off at Crenshaw tell my homies look alive
Cause it's hard to survive when your livin'
In a concrete jungle and
These girls just keep passin' me by
She looks fly, she looks fly
Makes me say my, my, my
(rpt 1, 1)

I wish I was a little bit taller...
I wish I was a baller...
I wish I was a little bit taller y'all
I wish I was a baller (3)

Hey, I wish I had my way
'Cause everyday would be a Friday
You could even speed on the highway
I would play ghetto games
Name my kids ghetto names
Little Mookie, big Al, Lorraine
Yo you know that's on the real
So if you're down on your luck
Then you should notice how I feel
Cause if you don't want me around
See I go simple, I go easy, I go greyhound
Hey, you , what's that sound?
Everybody look what's going down
Ahhhh, yes, ain't that fresh?
Everybody wants to get down like dat
(rpt 1, 1)

I wish, I wish, I wish...

 

[Bonochick]

I checked...that song was from 1995...so I was 13...and that was same year I became a U2 fan.

Wow, that was a long time ago.

But you don't know the half of it..."

I do not whine
I state the obvious

Salome
Shake it, shake it, shake it

 

[TripThruUreWires]

Three cheers for Salami and his wit!
What you are able to convey in few short words is often far more effective (and amusing i might add) than most people's lenghthy and articulate discourses.

I wish finals were over already!

------------------
And so happy Xmas
For black and for white
For yellow and red ones
Let's stop all the fight

 

[BabyGrace]

Salome!!! are you kidding me?!?

as others have already stated, you always have the funniest, wittiest remarks, and English isn't even your first language. Hell, I can't ever keep up with you (I mean I'm especially slow but still...)

plus the poems you've posted have been wonderful. I don't wanna hear whining, and yes it is whining, cos you could write circles around most of us. now, enough of that negative attitude. Go for it!

 

[LarryMullen's POPAngel]

Salome is great!!!

I wish I were a better writer as well.

13. Remove literary, grammatical and syntactical inhibition
14. Like Proust be an old teahead of time
15. Telling the true story of the world in interior monolog
16. Work from pithy middle eye out, from the jewel center of interest, swimming in language sea
17. Accept loss forever
18. Believe in the holy contour of life
19. Write in recollection and amazement of yourself
20. Profound struggle with pencil to sketch the flow that already exists intact in mind
