A firm believer in the healing nature of the Arts, I love and crave creative ingenuity. So you’ll often see me reviewing works, in progress or in aclaimed degrees. I find poetry to be similar to postcards in life, where the writer is and has been. If I send one out please read it for I often have something to say. Also, everyone of us should at least have a postcard or photograph that we can be proud of and one that brings a smile or smirk.
I come from a compromised past and you’ll see it in my writings. I used to write out of necessity but now learning to create and to join the ranks of other artists. As for my Urbis name it is going back to lost roots and by literal meaning, “brilliant friendship” I hope to find some common den…

Looking back, I’ve found myself traveling and traversing in a zigzag pattern. I had searched a long while for a map with definition and I’m not talking a full blown up atlas but a colorful sketch with different tints and hues. So, it is necessary to rewind and untangle the ties that bind the long drawn out account of my life. It used to be just a grid that spanned from point A to point B. In my efforts, I’ve tried to weave my own point in time to crisscross and intersect wit...

In the years gone by and lost, I’ve found myself at crossroads over and over but still pushing forward even when the world did not want me to push. Recently, I returned to school to gain perspective and motivation for a better place in life, and I found that it is less fruitful than I had previously imagined. In all honesty, I went to prove something to myself. Perhaps to recoup the years lost but mostly because I thought it was the right thing to do and that I would not only be a bette...

Our Souls Mated When we first met, we were standing stripped of our attire. We were two atypical creatures just standing beneath desire. Reticently, you acted like a chicken scratching in a coup. I humbly sat pigeon holed like a bird honing in the roost. Such an awkward phase that would pass with every laugh and grin. As we patiently waited for the new to begin again. When we first came together we dragged out all our luggage. My feeble arms shifted as I almost lost my footage. I sat my bagga...

Little bits and pieces of me are all under the ridges. Defiled and reshuffled by the tip of your hat, the flip of your lip, the whip of your smack, it was the print you left behind. Adrift in the dust, you arise to surmise with the wind of your weight running from head to toe, the show with more glow, so damn profound as you sit down. The ego sits in the side corner pocket. I multiply as you criticize every angle of my linear frame in time moving forward backward crosscutting to dissecting la...

Traveling the world is one of the best adventures that a person can embark on because it brings new adventures, chances and meetings. I had traveled before going to Europe. After graduating high school, my parents took me to Korea, I should say back to Korea, since I was born there before my adoption to the States. We had gone to Japan and Korea and after stopped through Hawaii on the way home. It was a jet-setting and bittersweet time for I was a tourist in my own homeland. I had returned to...

I love the ideas in this piece and the details you give are concrete and so deliberately delivered. However, the ending seemed like you might, just might break into sermon on the outdoor, freezing mountain but only because you interject a few more "you's" here. I did enjoy the read and the intricacy of it all. squeeze it in between your fingers,- great imagery Only thing is how are you outside then go inside, that wasn't really explained as much and the details were so concrete with everythin...
Interesting read and did like the storyline and plot but a bit confused on scene splitting..no transitions (unless they are missing pieces). What I liked best is the character's names and I find that important to keep a story going as long as the personality fits the name, which I find it does here. Some typos and grammatical errors or whys to reduce verbage? crime in this town in half- crime in half “So you- "So if you as the witness to the gun- as a witness to the gun (too many the's) dumpe...
What a terrific start but I simply got lost after Kiss me goodbye,...the rest of the flow got completely interrupted into another poem altogether. I was admiring everything before that and then it somehow fell to pieces with the reference to "you". Perhaps a line break would help but the message of losses ended up in a morality lesson about whether you're alone or missing someone or what are we the reader to do about it. In the first person account you were bringing us the message and then it...
I do like the title and though there is no real format for the rhyme scheme, written out, it seems disoriented. letter in it fallen- letter had fallen than a knife- than knives (I know if messes with rhyme but better suited here) “Darling” you wrote,- "Darling" he/she wrote (? maybe better) But thing- But things Sorry but it reads as if it written by a woman and don't know if that style is what you aimed it to be like. It doesn't envoke a poem from a man. I could be wrong of course in this cr...
