hey, hey! j. powers!!! i haven't seen you since... man, 2003 i think. yeah, 2003. i'm sure you don't remember me, but i sure as hell remember you! it was in Providence at AS220 --- that was THE VERY FIRST time i ever heard a spoken word piece & a poetry slam live. you were the main host, along with jared paul. you had spit one in between either the youth slam & featured speaker, or during the open mic session that happened right before the youth slam. it may sound like nothing much to you, but ever since then i've been HOOKED on spoken word.

anyways. well, i just wanted to say thanks for the comment & rating on "Verse 2: Queen To King.." i really appreciate it.

HOPE YOU HAVE A GOOD ONE!

yeah I'd also like to thank you for taking the time to comment on my poems. thanks for building the site and making it better every time.


Thanks for reading and commenting on a few of my poems. I really appreciate it. Constructive criticism is nothing but a good thing. I also appreciate your site! Thanks for building it.


I need friends lol. I figured... who better than the guy that runs the operation? And yeah, I don't get it: I don't read a poem without rating AND commenting on it; that's half the fun.

It looks to me like you get a lot of reads, just not a lot of comments. Poets are strange. Why don't they comment?!
