thePOEtrain It was a cold and gloomy night, the wind was howling like the bangies and old man Akroman~ wait, wait, wait that’s a story from the ”MARTIN” show, (my bad!) It was a cool evening in Oct when the POETRAIN made its first journey across the virtual railways. The engine reeved as SWBanks stood silent atop the train and head conductor Dosh posted himself in the middle isles awaiting the arrival of its first guest. “All aboard!” Dosh’s voice echoed through the grey skies bouncing off the dimly lit moon bellowing back through the train car. ~In walks TainaStacks (3rd conductor, host): Suddenly the doors screeched open and the crowds begin to float in as cool as the breeze, the night was officially under way.

“All aboard!” this time muffled by the mass of a full train, the conductor continued to greet the many wonderful guests as they came from all over the world from all walks of like including, magazine companies, famous fashion designers, spiritual Gurus, advisors and some of the world’s greatest poets.

“Welcome one and all to a beautiful 23rd night of October aboard the POETRAIN. Tonight’s Destination the lingo poetry club where the language is poetry and the theme is 1940s bebop jazz poetry….

As we begin our hours journey across the imvu countryside, we bring you yesteryears old skool hip-hop younger brother of bebop with a little common, mos def, tribe called quest souls of mischief black moon and more. We will also have you rolling in the isles with the hilarious comedy styling’s of DEON COLE. …

A LL A B O A R R D !

As I mentioned we have an hour to our destination to please JUST LAY BACK AND ENJOY THE RIDE as SWERVEmagazine and the house of poetry take you on hiphoppin bebopin jazz filled poetic virtual night to never be forgotten”……

“Ding, Ding!”, 8:30pm rolled around and it was time to get the guest settled in and prepared for the comic styling of the all ways hilarious one and only Deon Cole. Needless to say Deon did not fail, he was “tastefully” funny (Paula Deans cooking rip) and had the audience crying with laughter.

“Next stop”, Triva250 featuring all the black sitcoms of the 90s, all set to the sounds of Mos Def, Common, Tribe Called Quest and more (members Jazzz and Taina answered the majority of the questions). The POETRAIN ended its journey to the sounds of the Harlem Renaissance as it pulled up to the Lingo poetry lounge promptly at 9pm. As the train came to a halt, the wheels slowed to a grinding stop and the last steam streamed into the calm of the night. “Please follow me into the club, if you have troubles with tickets, or entry please contact one of our SWERVE staff members”. ~pause.

The doors were locked. ~sigh! Thankfully, not long enough to detour or passengers and newly arriving guest.

One by one, two by two they filed into the ocean side club “theLINGO poetry club” to the sounds of Dizzie Gillespe, Miles Davis and 1940’s Bebop, all played by club owner MrsTainaStacks.

Minton’s Playhouse, a jazz club in Harlem, New York, became the laboratory for these experimental musicians. By 1941, Parker, Gillespie, Thelonious Monk, Charlie Christian, and Kenny Clarke were playing regularly at jam sessions there.

During this period, there were two main musical paths forged.

One was a nostalgic movement that reexamined the hot jazz of New Orleans. It became known as Dixieland. The other was the new, forward looking, experimental music that departed from swing and the music that preceded it. It was known as bebop. http://jazz.about.com/od/historyjazztimeline/a/JazzbyDecade1940.htmhttp://www.abou t.com/

Jazz poetry: is poetry that "demonstrates jazz-like rhythm or the feel of

improvisation".[1] During the 1920s, several poets began to eschew the conventions of rhythm and style; among these were Ezra Pound, T. S. Eliot, and E. E. Cummings. The significance of the simultaneous evolution of poetry and jazz during the 1920s was apparent to many poets of the era, resulting in the merging of the two art forms into jazz poetry. Jazz poetry has long been something of an "outsider" art form that exists somewhere outside the mainstream, having been conceived in the 1920s

by African-Americans, maintained in the 1950s by counterculture poets like those of the Beat generation, and adapted in modern times into hiphop music and live poetry events known as poetry slams. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jazz_poetry

REAL or

ILLUSION? Are we real or are we just illusions Participating in internet confusions, Hiding behind our computer screens And in reality much different than we seem.

Have we somehow all become addicted As some people have so long predicted, Connecting with virtual and total strangers Disregarding all stalkers, pervs, and all that danger.

Are we real or are we just illusionsAnd existing on self-induced delusions And the friends on IMVU & SNL we make Are they real, or are they false and fake?

Are they really who they say they are Or are they different personalities by far, Do we know if their picture is for real Or did they someone else's photo steal?

We form opinions and often we assume But this can lead to trouble and heartache in them rooms So until the day we actually meetOur trust in people such never eva eva be totally complete...EVAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAA (LOL)

HIPHOPPEDmyBEBOP

Hip hopped my bebop from a renaissance era dancing on glitter with Josephine baker, sliding across candy lands as my BO jangled where MONKS played in the most Thealonius ways. I see me running down Tin Pan Alley: “jazz is dead, jazz is dead, it’s time to create something new, the jazz is dead. I don't know much about Dixie or big bands I don't waive a wand in my hand, I am not television colored I am smothered under dirty stares and stairs accompanied by fitly sounds, My jazzy bebop bops over broken glass. “My jazz is dead” I often lounge to see that old man sitting on that old stool under the flickering street light singing from Langston’s soul as I bebop my hip hop without direction affection or rudimental connections, but that was a vision of long ago.

As I step down off the faded pavement crossing through the symphony of traffic my bop intensifies as my fingers snap by my side, my head bobs and the colors of my melody become clearer. I can taste the jazz as it then leaves a bitter blue flavor on my tongue that turns white, then yellow, then brown, then red and then…….it’s just fades away. ~jazzy melody~ “but I will be back again, o I will be back".......

My jazzy bebop bops in my head as I hip-hop down cracked warped sidewalks right outside my jail like projects gate. My jazzy bebop bops by bangers drowned out by baffled buffoons unable to hear my tune crooning my Callaway’s into Charlie notes like an old jazz musician bellowing from a raspy throat.

My bebop continues in a melodic breeze dancing to the city sounds under trees with no trees whispering loudly inside my head outside walking through the cold dead beats, the dead beats, “the beats are dead”. ~jazzy melody~ “but they will be back again, o and I will be back"

Hearing poems ring out thru the room ..... then.......

As I watched the Chiseled legs of Neo , touch the floor every so lightly as she graced the dance floor in her poetic , and flawless dance. I had this overwhelming feeling of being where I needed to be.

I felt embraced in talent, and showmanship of Style & Grace.

To end the night DOSH covered me with a warm blanket of linguistic melody that took my breath away.

MrsSade3757Yorts Re: talk about itBEBOPpoetry night October 24, 2013 05:43AM What an amazing ride...Riding on the Train of deep thoughts and moments...the moment the wheel starts to turn and the toot of the horn is rang, the rhythm of the notes take you to a place unheard.....

Swing&Sway BY: TAINASTACKS Making gumbo in my grandma's kitchen/ Smiling through Step and Fetch It teeth/ Piano Keys tickling ivories…playing in a solfeggio harmony/ Do-Re-Mi is a symphony tethered by the old negro spirituals sending melodic calling cards to the ancestors/ Watch them swing and sway…swing and sway/ Abuelita's gamma phone playing Celia…Ahh how sweet!/ Shucking corn and plantanos for Sunday dinner/ Steam rises from the sweltering stove as she sashays with tough soil ridden hands/ Cackles a loud "Aye-Yai-Yai" she swing and sways to the congo drum/ Bumping softly in the horizon/ Their souls call out in a Sankofa…mixed with stifled happiness as they sway their hips/ Swing and Sway…Swing and Sway/ How my veins pumps the blood of the sacrificial lambs of my ancestors as I hear the tum tum of the congo drum/ The anxiousness of the beat gets louder in my ears/ Aye…The Madness!/ It's driving me to complete insanity/ A fever brews in my heart…growing hot with anticipation/ I fling my hips to the drum beat…as my hips swing and sway…swing and sway…./ The music slows down….the trepidation ceases…I'm astrotraveled to another plane…one not explored by human invention/ I was freed by the swing and sway.

DON CHEADLE TALKS ABOUT MILES DAVIS FILM PROJECT SEPTEMBER 22, 2010, 4:54 pm Don Cheadle was recently interviewed by Vibe magazine about his plans to play Miles Davis in a new film. In the interview, Cheadle said, "Biopics are concerned with cradle to the grave depictions of a subject and character. This movie is much more expressive. And in my opinion, we're hopefully making a movie that Miles would want to be in as opposed to it just 'being about Miles.'"

A tentative release date is set for 2013 while the movie completes development and secures financing. You can read more about plans for the film at Vibe.com. http://www.milesdavis.com/us/news/don-cheadle-talks-about-miles-davis-film-project
