I don't want to write a poem

Post by the mingo » February 20th, 2017, 11:13 pm

I don't want to write a poem
I want to write something as real as the screams
any baby bird makes again & again & again
being torn apart by a crow
something you can hear
in your mother humping bones
something you will jam your fingers
in your ears over & will run run away from
but won't forget
Doll, you may have found a place of rest but I'm still on the trail.

8) cool-
reason is over rated, as is logic and common sense-i much prefer the passions of a crazy old woman, cats and dogs and jungle foliage- tropic rain-and a defined sense of who brings the stars up at night and the sun up in the morning---

That's not what I said. You suck as a reader for sure. I said I wanted to write something "as real as" -

No, you suck as a writer.

You said: "I don't want to write a poem."

And then you wrote one.

I merely pointed this simple misstep out, that's all.

I thank you for all your gracious efforts on my behalf. I'm always trying to reduce the number of my faults but I have yet to come to the end of them.
