		<description><![CDATA[This is a poem that I wrote with some slang.  You can call it slang poem #1 or It&#8217;s Begun.
  It&#8217;s Begun

The night&#8217;s dank
Water hanging in the air
A cool breeze pushes my hair
Into my eyes, blank
My heart thuds quietly
At the rate of self-reflection
It wants out of my body
My mind goes the opposite direction
Searching into my core

		<description><![CDATA[Another great slang poem using some So-Cal surfer slang.

 	Riding my surfboard to catch a wave,
The perfect ride is what I crave.
