Hello everyone. This is a different kind of poetry community. Whether you want to talk about poetry, share your own, or the work of others, the options are unlimited. This community is about freedom of expression, and is inspired by a poetry night called Mindspeak that started in a little coffee shop. Go ahead, say what you came to say, we won't censor you here. :)

A Coffee House Poem

The girl of the guy that
Rocked the coffee house
Had streaks of vibrant color in her hair,
An art pallette gone mad.
The dim lighting in the dusty room,
Filled with words twisted, spun and
Bouncing off walls like a top on acid.
My mind opens to a wider reality
When your music wraps around my soul,
As pleather clings to a goth.
Only your rockin' vocals
Need no dry cleaning, how convenient.
So don't stop moving your lips
Or my high will disappear,
Into the veins of the walls
Of this little coffee house
Waiting for another soulful vocalist
To give it life....
