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. © 2007 Dayvid Graybill

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.
