Poem Artwork


Well meaning.
He gives the writer
Advice.

Slow it down!
Sit outside,
in front of your house.
So to speak.
Just do it.
Find the middle ground.
Stay there.
Write what you see.

Your prose are poetic.

Write as if the world
will not come to an end
if you don't get all
the words out by lunch.

Slow it down.

Nobody!
is going to shut you up.
Not ever again.

Oh, she thinks.
I get it.

Slow the f**k down!
Wear pink.
Hair that kinks.
Lipstick,
"Wine by design."
Swim away from that
blank inky cloud
into the pastel sunsets.

Whine by design.

It's okay to uyse any word tht fits what you need to get across. Hey even the greats made history with adjectives and verbs that fouled others. W.C.Fields said "Don't drink the water...fish fuck in it". How else would anyone recall that phrase without its punctual verb? Great write here!
Love and peace,
Susan

Youy poetry is not too bad., at least it looks like you put some effort into it. As for Charles Mc Kenzie he is a foul mouth idiot with a small vocabulary. this type think they are cool but they are actually air-heads.

silly you guys ... i can say it, but if i don't quite say it, you can read it faster (an f' word) without having to prove you are 18 and futzing (another f' word) with the "i agree" or "disagree" buttons! :)

I agree with all: say fuck, write fuck, eat fuck and sleep fuck...FUCK censorship, especially the self-fucking kind...

fuck, fuck, fuck, more advice: there is no room in poetry for censorship, especially from the poet herself. stanza 6 a bit dramatic, but the rest of poem quite enjoyable.

Anne, this poem is a marvellous presentation. What a great idea and how smoothly it flows from beginning to end.
