Sex and Poetry….

Poetry is more sensual that some may understand. I can say that good original poetry by someone I am interested in could probably get me out of my pants (LOL). No not really, but truthfully being able to write good poetry is a gift, and shows the artistic side of an individual. Great poets are not just people like Maya Angelou, but are also people like Jay Z, Mos Def, Nas, and the average person sitting at home right now.

Poetry allows us to show and express a part of us that otherwise may lay dormant and unknown because we just don’t know how to express that massive ability. To me poetry is a combination of subconscious thoughts. I know as a writer, I enjoy writing not only poetry but other things also, such as short stories, blogs and so forth. Anyway, when I write poems I feel as though I am sharing a part of me that no one knows, and I am able relieve stress and frustration that has been pent up and petrified to let loose. I know some things may sound repetitive, but the more you think about it the more you see that sharing and writing poetry is a wonderful part of life, that is eluded because we don’t want to face the truth or reality some times.

When it comes to the relation between sex and poetry, it is extremely simple. For women to know a man could show a softer side of him, a more passionate piece of who he is, they know that that man is not afraid to show his real self…. That is simply said, and it is definitely true. For a man to see that a woman has more intellect and isn’t filled with materialistic ways, and isn’t an idiot then they know they have an intellectual being in their presence and not just some piece of ass. Honestly, I am attracted to a man not for the money, or just what he is able to do for me, but more for what he is capable of, and if he could hold a conversation and be intelligent aside from sports knowledge. I like life knowledge, passion, desire, sensuality, wits, and feminine qualities.

I have seen some very powerful poems in my life some written by Maya Angelou, one of my favorite poets and others written by people whose names most do not know, but should. You be the judge and say whether or not the individual I am about to introduce to you is an intellectual or not. Trust me when I tell you, I don’t mingle with otherwise…lol.

Hoetry

By Jai O.

Since the majority of
You niggas ain’t into
Expression, more concerned
With a woman undressing
What ever happened
To Poetry???
All I see now is hoetry.
Just saying what goes
Over well with hoes.
Can’t even speak from
Your soul for trying
To dig in her hole.
Hoping 2 quote her
Some slick shit.
In attempts for a
Quick fix, just so
You can pull out a dick.
Using that deep soft voice
To get her spot moist.
I swear you niggas
Will never change.
Understand you don’t
Write poetry it’s just
Plain hoetry...
First you undress her
With a few words
To get some off of
Something she
Hopefully ain’t heard.
Stop acting like a bird
Use more than your pecker
Do you really think..?
Talk of spending cheese
Will get you more
Than just a rat?
And still you go on
About blowing her back.
Any true woman can
And will see you an act.
I swear niggas never change
You don’t write poetry.
Just recite weak hoetry
I'm just about spent
On misused and abused
Explicit content.
If you think telling
About what you can do
Will land you a screw.
What does that really
Say about you??
If it’s about bed
There is no sleep.
About going out
It’s on a creep.
Nigga open your eyes
It’s more to downtown
Than some legs & thighs.
Try to cook her dinner
Without her being dessert.
Maybe take a picture
Of her with clothes on.
An every time you call
Don’t try to phone bone.
Stop abusing the art
Just for a nut.
There is more to life
Than finding a slut.
Start writing poetry
Stop using hoetry.


The After Effects..........
By: Jai O.
Ms. Guided
I fell for this lady...
Followed Her fully…
As she led me down.
This path of lies
To me to give Her
The world and that...
She would not take my tries
She took showers in my cries...
Grabbed my hand...Then
Said let me be.....
Your guide.
Did not want Her feet wet
So I laid down my pride
All For This Lady...
This Ms. Guided
She told me to take Her
So I did.....
To whole nother High
Made me drunk with Her eyes
In my ear She sighed...
I will show you Heaven
Just don’t look to the sky
No She said....
It rests in my thighs...
Give me your soul...
And you can go...
You don’t even have to die
I fell for this lady
She was all mine...
My Ms. Guided
Told me I move too slow
That She would leave me behind
So I ran....
Nose open eyes blind.
She said what was yours
Now is all mine....
What I have hid She would find...
I fell for this lady
My Ms. Guided

What are the Top 11 Reasons College Student Drop Out?

According to some these are the top 11 Reasons why College Student dropped out!!!!!!
Whether this is true or no, is unknown to me, but for those that have dropped out of college, how does this pertain to you?
1. Homesickness and feeling that you don’t fit in. It’s a whole new world out there, and you may not be ready to embrace it.
2. Educational burnout. While college gives you control and flexibility over your schedule, the hard demanding schedule, challenging courses, and boatload of homework certainly has turned a lot of students away from the desire to continue.
3. Academic unpreparedness. Sometimes, high school didn’t really prepare students for college. Other times, students slacked off in high school and paid the price during their post-secondary years. The high school goal was to pass (so that students could get into college); in college, it is to succeed.
4. Personal or family issues. You may have had an unfortunate illness in the family or you yourself just got totally get stressed out from the workload.
5. Financial constraints. Tuition costs continue to soar, and scholarships or grants are not always available. Additionally, financial situations can change from year to year.
6. Too much fun — but not enough education. Some students take advantage of their friendships, which could put them on academic probation due to suffering grades or absence in classes.
7. The school isn’t a good academic fit for the student. You’ve selected a great school that is very arts-centric. However, you realize that you like the sciences better. Similarly, you may hate the average class size of 100 and prefer much smaller classes for more individualized attention.
8. Setting sights on the wrong major. You may have wanted to be a doctor but after taking several science classes, you decided that you’re rather go into marketing. Does your school have an marketing major? If not, you’re likely to go elsewhere.
9. No guidance or mentors. In high school, teachers and counselors were there to guide you, as high school classes are typically smaller than the entering freshman class. It’s a lot harder to get the personalized attention that you’ve been used to and that could turn people off quickly.
10. External demands, particularly within part time or full time employment. Can we say Mark Zuckerberg and Facebook? When the job puts too many demands on you, you may have to choose, and money usually wins out.
11. Time to move out. If the cold winter just doesn’t suit you, you may decide to go elsewhere. You may want to go closer to home or to be closer to a significant other.

The End of the Semester Blues!!!!!!

See one thing is for sure all college students are happy that the semester is coming to an end, but what about those students that haven’t don so well!?!? Although it has been a truly great semester for me, I have heard people I know say all too many times that they are failing a class, and desperately want to drop a course. Well, what do they do in cases such as these, when they are trying hard not to affect their GPA?

First off, I don’t know what the school would suggest for them to do, but I know what I wouldn’t do in a case like this. I wouldn’t drop out for sure, because we will have our bad and good semesters. I wouldn’t take more then one extremely difficult class at a time, and I would try to take classes that I enjoy as well as those that are necessary; the point of electives. As someone that allowed her advisor to tell her to drop the semester, I would definitely not rely on one suggestion, even if it is from someone who is supposed to be helping you; unfortunately a job is just a job to some, and your well being is of no real concern!

See if you could work it out, ask your advisor (if worthy), or see another advisor and have them tally up your anticipated grades and see what your GPA for the semester may be. That way you can see if it would hurt you really bad, or if you would have the opportunity to salvage your GPA in the upcoming semester. Sometimes we freak out unnecessarily, and we are not rational when our heads are turning in every which direction. Now, this is coming from someone who has been there and done that. I have had the advisor that told me to quit and now I have the advisor that has my best interest at heart. So before you give up, and take the worst way out, whether it be dropping the class or dropping out – remember that for every person that will screw you over there are two people who won’t!!!!!!!
