What is "ninja poetry?"
I could tell you, but I'd have to kill you.

No...seriously. What is "ninja poetry?"
Poetry for ninjas.

So if I'm not a ninja, I shouldn't be watching your videos?
What? That's preposterous. Of course you should watch them.

So wait...what is "ninja poetry" then?
Exactly.

Blurbs:
"Chesko's poetry turns your eyes into crayons and then use them to scribble. It dizzies and devours and remains unpredictable until you realize that he's been making you see what he's been getting at the entire time; drawing out beautiful truths from your own vision."
-- Danny Sherrard
2007 Individual National Poetry Slam Champion

"Chesko is a mix between wise and wacky, like Willie Wonka with no midgets to help him. Or Candy - with an arrest record. He's a seriously funny man. Like Fatty Arbuckle before the bottle incident."
-- Jamie Dewolf
The Suicide Kings

"Beware of Chesko! He lures you with simple, beautiful tales about our most precious human moments. While his observations are always accessible, do not be deceived: his attention to detail is as remarkable as the stories he describes."
-- Corbet Dean

"Sometimes it's easy to say why a particular poet resonates with me. I can usually pick out something about the writing or aspects of the performance that makes a particular poet stand out in my mind. But with Chesko, it's really the gestalt. It's the way every piece of his work stands together so seamlessly. This guy is simply rock solid, and whatever it is that he's doing, he always grabs me right from the first syllable."
