According to Wikipedia: The word "verse" is commonly, though incorrectly, used in lieu of "poetry" to distinguish it from prose. Where the common unit of verse is based on meter or rhyme, the common unit of prose is purely grammatical, such as a sentence or paragraph. Yeah Sure! Call it what you will, these poets, rappers, verbalists are spittin' chanting' rhyming' lines of poetry, rap, lyric and so on. To paraphrase: Gil Scott-Heron: What it has will surely last but is that Verse?

Hi Big_J - glad you enjoyed the mix...
great survey of the genre. ear opening. cheers.
Thanks - I did another poetry mix you can check - http://www.mixcloud.com/tony-todd/poetry-jazz/
already in my "things to hear" playlist! Thanks.
Nice compilation! Had to follow it up a listen to Mark Murphy's 'San Francisco' - what a getaway.
From the album "Kerouac Then & Now". Have you heard "Dingwalls". By the way, isn't walking the dog in an astronauts suit difficult?
Ha Ha! The only way to walk a space dog. Yer, Dingwalls is epic too. Same music, different verse on top. Keep up the good work man.
Ah man, can't believe our track is the first one on the mix, and Brainwash has done something lovely! www.thebreakscollective.com Love it!
Glad you enjoyed. Hope you pick up some more followers. You deserve it...
