Notes of a Neurotic!

In Notes of a Neurotic, Summer Hill Seven provides poetry, essays and plays that are as bombastic as the writings of Amiri Baraka as piercing as Miguel Pinero and as poetic as Paul Laurence Dunbar often all in the same sentence. In addition to the entertainment and intellectual value, these Notes of a Neurotic are specifically designed to heal the emotions of the reader, the speaker and the writer of these words.

Notes of a Neurotic - Poet Tree:
Essalogues, Plays & Poemedies


Word to my dearly departed Mother,
U can tell my book by it's cover.

There is writing that is pure gimmickry
Relying on false trickery and mimicry.

Covers leaving out everything needed to make a decision
The most truthful aspect often is the omission.

Instead of deception and untruthful lines
We say "hey look buy my book I use nigga a thousand times
I even put that shit in a bunch of my rhymes."

Certain parts are kind of erotic
Especially my definition of neurotic
I even get exotic when I talk about hypnotic.

I swear it'll make you smarter.
Smoke a lot of weed? This book 'll make you a self-starter.

It'll give you goals, ideals & rays of hope
Piercing through the dark clouds allowing you to cope:

With The Man
With Wo Man
With White men
With Black men
With Gay/Bi & Straight
With Love/Indifference/Hate:

It's exactly like crack
One hit - your back
Digging through the pages of essays for the residue of a monologue
It’ll take you three reads to comprehend the concept of the essalogue.

As you check my poet tree and select thoughts that will ripen in your mind
As you get through the poemedies you'll realize: "hey I can use these to get some behind
Nobody has heard of this Seven dude. I'm gonna say this shit & sound real smoove
I'm gonna be a cunning linguist, taking his words & adding my own twist."

As your addiction for Summer's words bloom and grow
You'll begin to speak them to your own flow.
Eventually your pen might hit your paper
Maybe we'll get your reflections on the 911 terrorist caper.

You'll realize then that you never forgot it
Whether you is or you ain't patriotic
Take note of how you deal with this ordeal or you'll end up neurotic.

So think of our lost loved ones languidly lounging in heaven
When you reflect on being patriotic on Nine Eleven
With Notes of a Neurotic by Summer Hill Seven.
