Tigers Former Wedding Vows

Secretary love issues
    could help
give me my strength
to climb trees

     Soul trees

Though it could be impossible
    The trees
      kind
      and unleashing their teeth
    hold Spartan mirrors

They are lover’s hands



Joe Spinelli, a 23 year old poet residing in Brooklyn New York, started writing at the age of 21. After reading the works of Rimbaud, Ginsberg, and Nick Flynn, Joe became hugely influenced with the thought of poetry being beyond the expectation of being just pretty and organized. His heroes wrote about the world around them, the people, and how the thoughts and feelings of themselves delved into splitting images of their worlds (good & bad). Joe has experimented in many fields of writing. With free verse, poems on paintings and observations of the “creatures” habiting the world. And also how these visions of the world can be accepting but also dark and edgy. He has been working on getting his poems published and has been working on a book of poems called “Visions” that he hopes to get published by late 2015.
