Korim
Man from the pits of poetry
Poetry from God, Texas, and the Universe
He is 19 years young and five years into the stage
Stages in L.A., N.Y.C, D.C., and other non "letter and period" named cities
Blessed east to west
Voice Horse from south to north
Knows he will be this forever
Long Hair, Light-Skinned,
Two wholes, one ear-ring
He changes as often as the weather these days
yes, he cares about global warming
has absolute faith in this generation
says we are the second coming
Writer, Poet, Performer
currently located somewhere between brooklyn and harlem.
Holding his heart in his hands
It is leaking all over the place
Many need to see this mess Korimthepoet@gmail.com
He'll be there
Thinks resume's are rediculous
A man's work is what's worthwhile
record is necesarry; he gets it.
So
Flypoets in L.A. And Mouth off in Oakland,
Nuyorican in NYC and Say Word in Richmond,
Embargo in Dallas/Ft.Worth and WineUp in Charlotte,
Brave New Voices in New York, San Jose, and D.C.,
National Poetry Slam in Austin and Madison,
Featured on NPS 2008 DVD,
Soundbites Poetry Slam Winner,
Youngest Slam Champ in Texas?
Absolutely Korim
poet from the pits of a woman from Texas.
Thinks often.
Knows rarely.
Understands nothing.
He only wants to speak
He only want to teach you him
Learn this man
Korim is quite a journey
Take it from me
