Just A Way Out

Posted on by Jixi Fox

Just can’t believe it’s butter,
I stutter when I say it,
I don’t know the way,
You want to play it,
Okay it’s up in the air,
But I am not that crazy,
I couldn’t get out of bed today,
Mostly because I am lazy.

No Seats Available | Spoken Word

Posted on by Jixi Fox

There are no seats for you at the table,
You are not able,
To sit with my crew,
I brought food and lunch for my dogs,
I didn’t bring none for you,
I can’t face you,
Pardon my back,
I am eating snacks,
So scooby,
I roll dice all the time,
Jamaican style,
Ludi,
Back still turnt,
You are not faceable,
Looking like lead from my pencil,
You are erasable,
Not praisable,
You are not a god,
Head to the corner of the room,
Swallow your sobs,
You can’t always fit in,
If it’s not a loss,
Don’t think it’s a win,
You hit the rim,
It’s a miss,
Should have dunked it,
No yards to gain,
You should have punt it.

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY, 16 YEARS BLOGGING

Posted on by Jixi Fox

Well yup, the numbers sound just about right, Happy 16th Year Blog Anniversary. The Jixi Fox blog was born in October 2007, just a few months before my debut music/poetry album independently made Kreative Expressions. In these beginning years, it was a proud moment and the internet was evolving. So many services to choose from but I choose code, “Code is Poetry” for I write poetry and life in my words. I wrote deep and short pieces that related with others and help build this strong community we have now on WordPress.

From the (4) WordPress Word Camps I have attended & hosted and more to come, I knew my writing career and expressive creative writing was here to stay. From the depths of college years back then when no really knew what blogging and seo was, I was there, guiding, commenting, promoting, laughing and enjoying words of others.

As much as this is a celebration for me, for I will honor every year, it’s a celebration to all the writers, bloggers, creatives, to keep pushing. Keep creating and connecting.

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY

I started to celebrate a lot more of me these special moments and milestones starting 2021. I was always told, I just kept going and never take a time to look back and see where I have come from.

Thanks to anyone who ever viewed, dropped a like or just a kind friend who came over to my home. #community.

DREAM CATCHER [#Poetry]

Posted on by Jixi Fox

DREAM CATCHER

dream_catcher_by_ernest_art-d4svngt

Where ever they float,
I want to be there to catch them,
Experience their lives and passions,
Hope and faith that creates lives,
I want to give life to those, never see them die,
Purity and honesty okay let’s pave a way,
Our dreams carry us through to see another day,
If I see another dream floating away,
I hope is comes floating towards me,
My way.

No Love Lost | Free Verse

Posted on by Jixi Fox

Feeling betrayed,
But I stayed,
I have been tired of playing,
Procrastination has paused growth,
All I have is hope,
The real reason is action is needed,
Leading me to what’s want most,
So,
Give off your ass,
Let’s go.

I Might Stop, But I Don’t Wanna | Spoken Word

Posted on by Jixi Fox

Pounding and pounding and pounding,
Has been my head,
Lately I can’t seem to get out of bed,
Laying for hours,
Phone in hand scrolling,
Uncomfortable,
Knowing I want to stop,
But I keep going,
Minutes to hours,
Then shifts like I am working,
Attention span shot,
While my duties in life are lurking,
Found a new rabbit hole,
In the sunken place,
But I am not falling,
I am digging in,
I seem to can’t help myself,
I can fight against the crowd,
Most people want me to be fitting in,
Be like them,
Attention is luxury,
Desires and mental health,
Time to go shopping,
Attention span on X,
In minutes I am fiending,
I might stop,
But I don’t want to,
I might as well continue leaning in.

I Do Color Outside The Box | Free Verse

Posted on by Jixi Fox

Never been a fan of rules,
I always been a fan of cool,
Doing cool sh*t,
Living life as bunch of what if’s,
Making people question my approach,
Like what is this,
Some may get pissed,
But how do they grow though,
How do you evolve,
Following the same kind of flow,
Never second guessing,
The impression is all weird,
Like take the left path,
As the right one was so clear,
Moving with no fear,
Not worried if you will be judged,
Judgy people,
Are the type of people,
Who probably need some hugs,
To cover their tush,
As the sit and box,
They going to just have to watch me,
Color outside the box.

Opting Out | Unsubscribe | Spoken Word

Posted on by Jixi Fox

Some days I feel I want to unsubscribe from life,
Like opting out of the bs that happening in mine,
Feeling like I am walking in minefields,
Knowing another episode is about to explode,
Can’t crack the logic to the frantic,
I haven’t developed the code,
Can’t be watching people on social,
Faking life seem so hopeful,
It’s worth noting,
Or I could just be hoping,
I need to change to something more potent,
Something with a kick,
I mean,
I see the goal,
But not knowing how winning feels,
Evergreen, yea ever green,
Haven’t fully ripen,
Straight to rotten it just seems,
Meanings to things are not what they pan out to be,
Believing the words of others,
Have you ever watched a politician speak?
Leak sources,
Tie up our forces,
Buying courses,
Email inbox cluttered with advertising,
Every arising just leads,
To another minefield,
It can’t just be me,
So I escaping on a boat,
To stay afloat,
With just hopes,
Of how being at peace feels,
Opting to unsubscribe,
Shouldn’t feel so mean,
Feels let a bit of breakup,
We finally wake up,
Playing for another team.
