Bark Man (( Spoken Word )) With A Twist of Humor

Bark Man

By: Julia L. Clark

 

 

As I shave the beard

of my tree leaves

Off the groom of

My over bark face

And get ready

For a fall midday date.

The cruelty of soil

Women just have

Abandon me and abused

My sexy spirit muse,

And century

After century

Stood by me with

Cheap fake boobs

And erotic dancer shovel shoes,

And tapped on my

Male weakness.

Just ask the grass

Because once they come

Back in full bloom tune

Then they also smell

The floozy of bird poop

And recycle perfume,

Of I am the president

Of life here to take care you

And birth our children oranges

And watch our grandchildren

Apples grow.

Please society don’t tare

Me down for ungrateful

Idols to write on me and

Don’t have the nerve

To graduate

Or finish college

Life survivor rules.

I am the back bone

Of play back re tone

If you just give me

A chance and leave

Me and the rest

Of my nature kinfolks

Alone. But you humans

Don’t understand

That I am the

Survival roots

Of a family

Tree bark man.

    i can see why this took gold, this poem read so smoothly and flawless. very few people on ap can do spoken word, but you have a real flare for it, i am going to have practice at it, i never performed before.

    Written in Blood

    a very passionate expression of inner muse
    that creates silent thunder in the soul
    of the blues. I hear you whispering in a
    dark place where sunlight flows from within.
    Deep baby. snap snap snap!
