[hometext] => Yes this is the same 8 Mile as in the movie.The names have been changed to protect the innocent. heh heh heh
[bodytext] => It's spring and the street noise grows As Harleys and Street Rods come out to play Hookers have stowed winter's cumbersome garb And donned spring's skimpier attire The robbery trade is brisk and growing As crack is cheap and becoming more popular And unemployment lists grow each day Fast food places lock their doors at dusk And revert to drive-thru, it's safer, but not much Of course the pervs crawl out of their slimy holes As children emerge from their homes to play Sometimes you'll happen upon a John Sitting in his car, staring at his lap While Jane Doe hooker earns her Hamilton Homeless Hank meanders through the 'hood Gathering cans and scoping out future items That he can aquire after dark And pawn the next day for liquid libations Gang-bangers roam the streets Listening to rap, smoking blunts and acting bad Spread out across the road, daring you to hit them Sometimes, after dark, dogs will light up At something in the alley. Maybe Homeless Hank Searching for an out-of-the-way site To relieve himself, hurl, or pass out This is just a glimpse of life Whether good or bad When you live alongside 8 Mile [comments] => 3 [counter] => 187 [topic] => 43 [informant] => thumper [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 5 [ratings] => 1 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => oops )

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
