“An Aunt And Her Nephew,” Chosen Lyric’s 4th Published Poem

“An Aunt And Her Nephew,” Chosen Lyric’s 4th Published Poem

Published by chosenlyric on August 9, 2025

My name is Chosen Lyric. I am a 10x published Spoken Word Poet, from Long Island, New York. I currently reside in Florida on the Treasure Coast. In my last blog post, I was discussing participating in a poetry/ music open mic at SteamWorks Coffee and Eatery in Port St Lucie that took place over the weekend. When digging through my photos & videos on my phone, I realized I didn’t post anything from my very first appearance at SteamWorks for Christelle’s “Step2TheMic” event in February, 2024. 

At my very 1st arrival, I performed poems from memory that were previously published in various anthologies, & took photos clumsily holding all of the books I have been published in with the exception of one. Even I myself am surprised that I actually got up to ten publishings before I decided to further pursue Rap Marketing, and then Real Estate after that.

One of the poems I performed was selected for publication by Long Island’s own, Kathaleen Donnelly, for the calendar collection “Paumanok II: Interwoven.” 

My poem was about an elderly woman and her nephew, and how even though the relationship between family & economy can create absence & loneliness, in the end, what’s most revealing is being present when it matters most. Do you believe I able to properly capture the nuance of the situation? 

As for me, there are some upcoming open mics this week around town, & I’ll be tailoring my craft further prior to seeking booking opportunities and feature performances.

“She’s Going To See Her Agent” poem by Chosen Lyric

“She’s Going To See Her Agent” poem by Chosen Lyric

Published by chosenlyric on August 5, 2025

My name is Chosen Lyric. I am a 10x published Spoken Word Poet, from Long Island, New York. I moved to New York from Pennsylvania when I was 2 years old. Since 2024, I have lived in Florida, in Viera.

A few months after I arrived in Florida, I attended an open mic in Port St. Lucie. The host was Christelle Francois & the event was called “Step2themic.” Recently, I moved to Stuart, which is a short drive from Port St. Lucie. When I first relocated, the event was postponed for a few months. Now that all is well with Christelle, the event resumed on August 1, 2025. I was in attendance with my wife.

The 1st poem I decided to perform was a storytelling poem about Real Estate. I wrote the poem “She’s Going To See Her Agent” in 2019, shortly after I passed my state test to become a licensed New York Real Estate Agent.
Being in Real Estate & working with family has its ups & downs. I will be taking my Florida Real Estate Test soon.

The poem was about how a Real Estate Agent performing the regular duties of the position can be such a positive catalyst in the life of an individual in need of dire change. Was I able to properly capture the nuance of the situation?

After the conclusion of the event, I was made aware of the other poetry open mics, and I’ll be working on refining new pieces, writing new pieces, and relentless monetization efforts.
