I am not a poet.
Mostly, I do not understand poetry - never did.
Truthfully, I do not like most poetry - never did.
Now you know. I like writing and I have even tried (with disastrous results) to write poetry. Can't be done. It's just not in me.
But something happened when I first heard Amena Brown as she performed her "Spoken Word". At the time, I didn't know the meaning of this phrase, but I knew it buried itself deep in my heart and soul when heard.
With Easter fast approaching, a friend introduced me to another artist, Shawndra Lucas.
