My partner in (c)hryme asked me one day if her punctuation was correct in a poem. In true Alise snark i wrote her this:poetry is what YOU make it,& you can punctuate;Deez,how?(you)see/fit:Peri...

irritation.

I am irritated today. When I am irritated, mad, disappointed, or sad there are little things I do to calm myself, some of them quirky and some quite normal.- fixate on one song and play it over and over, that calms me for some odd reason.- write. write. write some more. and then write a little bit more for good measure.- rant with my IM Partner in (C)rhyme- obsessively do crossword/logic/math/jigsaw...

PODCAST: I love the fact that I have so many creative friends. In fact, I have a few friends that I accidentally create chain poems or stories with.

Situationships be damned, part deux

There is light at the end of the tunnel. Trust.I wrote this piece after being fed up with situationship after situationship (I won’t dignify them with the description of relationship), but I still somehow realized I just have to ‘woman-up’ and work smarter, not harder at finding/attracting/keeping the right one. Life goes on, and love is out there. Word. Is. Bond.(Untitled)I like to think of myself...

Living my life..... randomness....

Sometimes I get to doubting myself, feeling down:Sometimes I feel like I'm living my life like it's gold platedA hot gilded mess...waiting futilely for an alchemist in shining armor.but that armor is rusty too.dang, what to do?but then i come to my senses:I throw off all the heavy metal slowing me downwrap a bright scarf around my headsport it like a crownand let my platinum personality shine thru....what was i thinki...

Don't even begin to try and judge me........

originally posted 9/17/06:This is my ever evolving poem about who..... ME!..... Everyday I add to it, so I'll let y'all see the journey. I wrote this to let people know who I really am instead of immediately assuming they know me from a first impression, give a sista a chance,dannnnnnnnnnng..... So I hope you guys enjoy, like I said it ain't even done yet, but here it goes:JudgementI think I'm ready...

The Dictionary is our Kama Sutra...

What do you want, Alise? Lots of glitter!

...and a pink unicornTalk to Me - Jill ScottI am extra hyper and random today. (and most days) I wish my life was like a Broadway musical. Then I could just break out into random song about anything. There would be 5 dance numbers a day.... minimum! Think of all the fun, glitter, feather boas, head pieces, fabulous wigs, sequins, and excessive eye makeup that would ensue. Wouldn't that be the sh*t???!!!! Right, wouldn't it? *looking around*..... Well forget y'all , don't judge me.....I ain't crazy,...

They Say...

*Baldheaded me*Living my life by other people's rules was like listening to wack ass hip hop (read: radio) when there is so much good music out there that is not neccesarily the most popular, the poem coming up speaks to that, I have had a trying evening dealing with judgmental people telling me what beauty is and what it ain't, what success really means and what it ain't..... le sigh...... but I...

Insomnia....

I never sleep anymore.Always wide awake and aware,Luckily I dream with 3 eyes openFixed on magnificent endeavorsCan't have my dreams slept on...Anyway how ya gonna fight life's battles with pajamas on? I wrote that poem when I was going through an extreme spell of insomnia, surviving off of 3 hours max of sleep every night. But something that was interesting during that time is that I produced the...

Naturally Me!

Well since I chopped of the tresses I decided to post an old hair piece of mine from September 5, 2006. It is a hair metaphor for life, enjoy:Naturally MeLooking towards unfair standards of beautyFeeling like fitting in was my duty....But all that pressure was strand by strand damaging me.Slowly breaking off from my own hand needlessly.So scared to cut loose and put my true texture out there for all to see.So afraid to display the natural me.Longing to be.... naturally me.But one day I awoke with...

Situationships be damned....

I decided to post this piece after reading a blog entry by Belle in Brooklyn. It made me think about relationship grey areas and falling inadvertently into a "situationship" and the feelings beneath it all. Her post led me to think about a time when I was going through something kinda similar and penned this piece, enjoy:Contrary to popular belief I am confusedConfounded even at how we are connected but not together.Contest this ain't , but I feel like I'm losingContusions of the ego even admitting...

Jean Grae... i heart her

Definitely my favorite female MC, I hope she really really blows up so the world can see the talent that is Jean Grae ... her flow is so poetic... she has inspired me, I will share a poem (oldie but goodie from 2006) that was written when i was feeling like jean grae is on "love thirst",listen out for the following lines in the video.... hotness..."we'll slow dance until tangos get hortizontal".... "I am in love thirst and you are the quencher, maybe we should taping so you can remember""I know...
