NEW GENRE: SPOKEN WORD POETRY
Open mic Debut 26 DECEMBER 2026
THE INTRODUCTION
After the kind introduction, all eyes were on me.
As I approached the open mic, not a single seat had a vacancy.
With my first official attempt at something new to me, the room vibrated with cosmic energy.
I started speaking from the heart, rooted in spirituality.
After the first verse, the applause hit me like a Chakra frequency.
I really wanted a new place to fit in,
So I spit the second verse, and the ghetto pigeons started hooting and hollering,
new religion, new religion.
By the end of the session, they cheered in contemplation,
As my "Food for Thought" poem sparked a romantic conversation.
What a way to start a new season off right,
With so much to share, from my poetic appetite.
I can't wait to share my paintings with visual clarity, and how they complement my poems
like Motown Philly harmony.
Seeing is believing and a live performance is reality,
Coming from someone like me, I hope this body of work intrigues you with
Darrenz Divine creativity.
