In pursuit of being Number 1



I sit here alone tonight
A beer and this computer
Is my only worksite
I write things that tell alot of things
And sometimes dont mean anything
I get what everybody is saying
Some poems are wise some
Well they just fall like the skies
I guess I am lost for words rights now
God I dont Know how
I can ramble on and on about many things
Even about my flings
But I am done for tonight
I did give up a
Hell of a fight
To make my poetry right
For you to hear me
And I hope I speak to you
As much as you speak to me
I know I can leave everybody pleased
You may not like me
Or they way I write
But this is my appetite
All I have to say is
Goodnight

I am a man of various skills and sick and twisted minds.....yes minds... 800 dimensions I see things in and I like to become things............ only a portion of what I write is about personal experiences. The other portion is my mind inventing things up.. I may look at something and become that object and describe to you how it feels???? If you dare come enter the twisted and intellectual mind of me ...A.K.A " SuperShawn" I guarantee you once you learn how I see things you will too....Scary thought HUH!!!!!! muahhahahahahaah I do write A lot of haiku as well there short and to the point so dont judge me unless you know what haiku is! follow me on Twitter more…
