My First Post and Attempt at Def Poetry

novaw0lfnovaw0lf Veteran
edited November 2011 in Arts & Writings
Hello! I'm also a Buddhist, and brand new to this forum. It's my intention to contribute as much as possible with articles, videos, poems, and whatever other works as a means to entertain and hopefully even inspire others in their purpose in life. Whatever that purpose may be.

My first contribution is a video, a poem that I wrote called "Gateway", about the unification of all men through the philosophy of peace.

I hope you guys enjoy.

    I was a veteran who spent two years in the Middle East, and now I'm trying my best to make whatever positive impact I can in the world, after.

    With the right beat, you can become an underground rapper.

    No, there's not. Thank you very much!
    I have heard a bit of slam poetry like Taylor Mali and it is difficult to get the right rhythm going. Despite this being your first attempt your technique is so natural and easy to get used to, congrats!
    Thank you!

    very convincing. very well done!
  • novaw0lfnovaw0lf Veteran
    Thanks man really nice site and some great articles, keep up the greatI was surfing google and I saw your website and it is very interesting, keep it up! I just added this blog site to my google reader, excellent stuff. I Cannot get enough!
    I don't know what it was about your response that differed from the others, but it's given me a new spark of inspiration to continue writing on that website. To be honest, I was about to give up on it. Perhaps that would have been foolish of me.

    I can't control the rate of which I get inspiration for poetry and philosophical articles, but I can better control how I design and release my literature. There was never a more steady stream of viewers on the website than for the temporary time that I decided to release my biography for free, chapter by chapter; it kept people returning to the site.

    I'm thinking of making my next work a free chapter-by-chapter web-novel called "Just Another War Story", about a heroin addict during the Vietnam War.

    Right now, I'm trying to scramble together all of the excerpts and tidbits that I've written in the past, out of flairs of inspiration, for the sake of contribution to the first chapter. I'm going to release Chapter 1 before tomorrow morning.

    I'd like to think that my style of literature is very dark, gritty, realistic and at times even a bit gothic in nature...but never without an underlying positive message, derived from Buddhist philosophy.
  • novaw0lfnovaw0lf Veteran
    If you like the poem here, as well as what you've read on the website, I'm sure you'll love my next historical fiction. Be sure to return to the website to read it; I'm releasing it completely for free.

    People are still commenting on this? Thank you so much!
  • Christopher Fleming
    Not many have a great voice like yourself but the words...that's impressive. Keep it up!
  • EdwardREdwardR
    Excellent! Thanks for this gift.
  • vinlynvinlyn Colorado...for now Veteran
    I used to watch Def Poetry Jam occasionally, although mostly I didn't care for it...maybe related to me being so ancient.


    But I very much liked your presentation and the sentiment! Bravo!

    You are articulate and your voice and words washed over me and covered me like a healing balm.

  • ethereaetherea Veteran
    I'm new to this site so this is the first of me seeing and hearing your piece. I don't know about the disclaimer - you came across as confident and sincere. All I'm really saying is that it was very, very good. :D
    We want more, we want more, we want more...........;)
