I'm rather amazed that some reviewers critique content as if first person writes are personal experiences. This was not the case here, nor in much of the poetry I write.

The Devil and Me

 

Down to the crossroad

With a guitar in my hand.

Robert Johnson in my pocket

On the corner I will stand.

 

But the crossroad was crowded

There were guitars everywhere

Robert Johnson whispered,

“The devil’s over there.”

 

I was up on Wall Street

Donald Trump by my side

Money falling from the sky

I was looking for a ride.

 

The street was full of beggars

Dressed in suits and ties

Donald held the door,

“The devil’s just inside.”

 

Red eye into Vegas

Long legs and nails painted red

Dark brown eyes wide

Smiling from her bed.

 

Hundred dollars in her hand

Lights flashing across her skin

Devil watching from the closet

She made my world twist and spin.

I love tempting the Devil...he has no hold on me, and I keep him close by to keep an eye on him...Charlie Daniels told me so..."he was lookin' for a soul to steal." Blackjack poker and slots, the Devil's in Cripple Creek where I play, whiskey's in my flask...writing about Old-Day prostitutes is my task, Dayvid...the painted ladies glamorize the Old West and they were a necessity as they and Madam is a necessity in my writing...

Indeed he is a very devious person who knows how to get our attention and join him in sin.

Dayvid,

Very interesting write. The devil is everywhere, even when you don't see him.

Wow!! Dayvid, I greatly enjoyed this one. I think the rhyme and the meters are perfect because this reads very well. Interesting indeed!!!
