Words and music are one on Spoken Word at Joe's Place. Hang with Joe and learn about his visit to the underground phenomenon of Spoken Word that thrives in DC’s lounges. You’ll learn about poets from across the country while they visit with Joe.
Remember to rest! It is the most important thing you can do for your body. You need to rejuvenate your body on a consistant basis to get the optimal response from it. HOLLA!!!
We are up and running your favorite spoken word program for 2010. Hopefully, we'll be blessed with interesting guests as we have in the past. If poetry is your flavor join us every Wednesday at Midnight.
For the year 2009, for everyone that leaves a full message on our Guestbook at the end of our website with your First and Last, telling us how you personally feel about Child Abuse, we will showcase you on the Honorable Mentions Page on our website, and place a link to your business – regardless of what it is, on our website, which gets over 200 hits a day.

We are doing this because in leaving your message on our Guestbook, you are showing us that you are working as hard as we are to save the lives of our African American Children - and therefore you deserve this much. Keep in mind that we are interested in reading your own "Personal" feelings about this Epidemic. We look forward to reading your words on our Guestbook. (Be sure to turn up your Speakers – there is R&B Music on every page!)
I, and the Children who manage to survive this Epidemic, will never be able to thank you enough.
I thought the show last night was great with Venus Thrash. I enjoyed her greatly and would like to purchase some of her work.
Does Ms. Thrash have a website? If not she really should work on getting one, which would generate more revenue and exposure. That much talent and karma must be shared with the world.
You came across my heart
like a thought comes across the mind
like de ja vu left it all behind and you put me into rapture
for a time my love
you came across my heart
and there you left an imprint of what your loves about
can’t remember how to get out
you came across my heart
and now I’m stuck here
out in nowhere by myself
trying to shake the breeze that you caused within me
you came across my heart
for what was a split second
and now it’s like you live there
and my heart beckons
and my heart beckons
for that split second
again and again
you came across my heart
like a thought came across the mind
you have not returned
but I will follow in time
for my heart is no longer mine
it belongs to
you
who came across my heart
like a thought comes across the mind
a thought
that makes you stop
and sigh
and laugh and cry
and remember a song you sang
and of how you died
you crossed my heart
like a whisper catches the ear
and in death
there you left me here
but I will follow
in time
that also crossed my mind
of how to die
I’m scared
can’t stick a needle in my eye
won’t slash my wrist
can’t put a noose around my neck
and I’m afraid of heights
so I won’t be jumping off of any bodies cloud
In death there you left me behind
listen, listen
I tried to follow you
but my time
it just wasn’t due
you are forever etched in my heart
and as long as I’m alive
you’re alive
you live
you exist
like a thought that comes across my mind
and lives forever
in my heart.
