Alexis McAfee Biography

Undergrad in Psychology, seeker of knowledge, corporate underdog, aspired poet; my name is Alexis. People ask where I'm from and I can't explain how I moved my entire life and never created a 'home town'. Simple questions like these are answered with lengthy summaries. My biography wouldn't be appropriate here. Regarding my poetic interests: Writing began at fifteen. At that time, I played music everyday and developed a knack for improvisation. Jazz flows like a deep current and always enabled me to attempt something never practiced. Still in my teens, instrumental works were blended with my first lyrics. I worked with my musical styles to develop different limericks. Throughout the past decade, these experimentations were converted to a love affair with poetry. I work to progressing daily with surrealist and symbolist techniques, infused with my style, to create something NEW! The number of poets agreeing that poetry needs to be reinvented is endless. I agree and want to continue producing original literary works. To occupy my poetic needs, I started PoetryMill.com because I need an outlet. I hope to reach other poets and find a community of inspiration and growth someday. So, I started to write about the different aspects of poetry. Please visit and comment on PoetryMill.com. Please remember, its new!)

The Best Poem Of Alexis McAfee

Just Another Number In The Deck

just another number in the deck
competing with suits
monopolizing the game of love
King of Clubs conquers intoxicated women
while the Ace of Diamonds
makes Jokers of men
who don't know Jack
inhibiting the Queen of Hearts
from winning hands steadily
instead of standing for one night only
