Introduction and a poem

To begin with I should start by saying that my is Jesse Lytle. Near 21, in college, struggling with money like everyone else, unemployed ( lost my job) and with a supportive wife-to-be and this is my first ever blog. This blog though is about poetry and the written word of literature. I have read a great deal and I am always hungry to read more. I love reading works to old and new. From known Authors to us unknowns. The name of this blog, Vivacity of the Conscience. For me that represents the classic and romantic aspects of the soul, and the body. We see both as separate entities but it is the mind that connects the two. When one writes, one puts his or her soul in the writing, bringing their physical and spiritual bonds into words. The pen is the tool, our hands the guide, but its the mind that leads. I hope you enjoy my blog or poems and short stories and other interesting aspects of my life.  This poem is about those Beatnics and how I am inspired by them.




50's Jazz

2am in early morning Wednesday.
Sitting in a diner staring out a window
Looking out at all the young couples,
Dancing with such crazy aspirations!
Off in the distance you can hear the jazz,
Rat, bat, zag, ooh, can you dig the inspirations?

Allen singing away his manifestos.
While I gaze into the eyes of an angel.
Hot-rodders scream at their rockets!
Ripping the morning with noise.
Windows rattle while I kiss my lover.
While Allen, Jack, and the boys play with toys.

Cigarette smoke rises above our heads.
The sun cracking over us claiming dibs
Over the moon like a fast addict!
High off the crankness of adrenaline
Pouring straight into the veins of our
Sleep deprived like the mindless american.

6am in the early morning Wednesday.
Sleeping in my bed with my angel lover.
I drift off to dreams of hipsters and cool cats.
Wondering if I'll ever succeed beyond
The beats of long past and all their jazz.
Hopefully those angel-haired hipsters will respond.
