Hello, Fat Tony here, your friendly neighborhood gangster man. Yesterday, after a hard day of busting caps and boxing beats, I saw that a good friend of mine was feeling down. She's had a bad weekend. She's been incredible to me over the past few months, and wrote a very lovely poem for me which can be found at my MySpace.
After chatting to her for a while, I decided it'd be nice if I wrote a poem to show how much I love her as a friend, and how much I appreciate her. So, I came up with this. It's entitled simply, "A Poem".
Please bear in mind it's my first ever poem.... I'm more of a "There was a young blank from blank" guy, so... be nice ;-)

A POEM
I wanted to write a poem, write a poem just for you
For blue you seem to be and all you seem to be is blue
But poems aren't my strength, they aren't my strength ...

A couple of people had mentioned to me that they'd like to see me write something in the Ciao Café, so after searching through all the topics up for discussion and not finding anything I felt particularly comfortable writing about, I decided to take the easy way out and post one of my poems. I've never showed any of my poetry to anyone before, so it feels rather strange putting it up here for all to see, but I'd love to hear what you think.
This is not a 'poem of misunderstanding' as such, but I couldn't find a poetry category where I felt it really fit, so I've placed it here as I think it suits it better than any of the other categories available. So, here goes??
I died once, for a moment. Wasn't painful, wasn't long.
I saw it; where I'm headed, where I'll end up when I'm gone.
I never thought it mattered, what I ...
Advantages: Something to read Disadvantages: That will be up to you
I must confess I like mucking about with poetry, I excelled at it in school, however afterwards my literary skills took a downward direction. So this will be my interpretation of a mad poem.
My head fills with inexplicable thoughts,
They invade every avenue of my brain,
Like ships that traverse to many ports,
They come and go while I remain,
Locked in some time warp of space,
Sometimes no expression on my face.
Dark and gloomy aliens ravage my head,
I play host to all who trespass my mind,
They have no meaning they are not lead,
They inhabit every area they can find,
Not even the usual comfort of sleep,
Prevents me having to weep.
Why oh why do I submit to their will ,
Can I not withstand their force,
When my mind is not blank and still ...

Album Reviews
Q (7/01, p.108) - 3 stars out of 5 - "...The quasi-religious air remains as Leeb crafts lavish backdrops for singer-songwriters....Dido fans will surely swoon to 'Underwater' and the majestic 'Nature's Kingdom'..." Alternative Press (3/01, p.74) - 3 out of 5 - "...Evokes every new-age-groove clichT imaginable, from Gregorian chants to pan flutes to politely understated hip-hop beats..."
