 okay this I have understood poetry does not have to be all sweet smelling and flowery babbling brooks or snow white clouds against brilliant blue skies poetry can be cold and hungry hitchhiker on the road thumb out guns and roses (they were good for awhile) bills stacked up on the kitchen table ladies of the night displaying their wares poetry can be chewed, stubby pencils mean streets overdue bills, screaming babies the inner fire of a polished diamond smell of coffee perking most of all poetry can be whatever the scribe sees it as war, bloodshed rape carnage can be put to poetry dark poetry but poetry nonetheless ©February 27, 2014 / Jerry Pat Bolton ~*~ There was a sign on the lawn at a drug re-hab center that said 'Keep off the Grass'. ~*~ |

A solid, comprehensive list alright Jerry. Now I'd like to see the "more" that ER mentioned. I'm quite fond of lists. Touch, but don't look |

Haven't written much lately because the poetry that rolls off my tongue is still quite dark, even though I have been in a far brighter place for some time... not sure if I'm afraid it will have the power to drag me back down, or if I'm truthfully just sick of it. If it is all poetry nonetheless, mayhap I will see what the muses are saying. Michael |

Good to see you here, Michael. I went through what you are going through when I began to venture away from my own dark writes. I have pretty much figured it out now, although I still touch base with the dark every so often. You are a master of the dark, but I am happy you have been in a better place these days. You'll figure it out. ~*~ There was a sign on the lawn at a drug re-hab center that said 'Keep off the Grass'. ~*~ |
