My newest poem...
The opening line was spoken by someone Tuesday night at the open mic I went to...

And I thought, "What a great line! I see a poem emerging from this!"

This is not my usual work...

I do hope you like it...


Never piss off a woman poet

She has powers you cannot imagine

Worse than a voodoo doll

She will

Incarcerate your soul

In an Iron Maiden

And strut away laughing

While your soul screams

As it thrashes against the spikes


:scared:

3. My dear DarkTirade!
Wow!

You just made my day!

Do you realize that I am sixty-four years old?

Hey, this old dame has a kick in her yet!

Thank you!

:woohoo: :woohoo:

Oh my god!

I am truly honored...never has anyone used my lyrics for a song!

Thank you so much!

21. Sometimes I just pick up the guitar and stuff flows out. :)
But not so much with words, unfortunately. So a lot of my stuff ends up getting lost because I don't have anything to put it to, so I forget what I came up with. :P

4. My dear vixengrl!
I'm so glad you like it!

It is far, far removed from my normal romantic, mushy, sentimental stuff...

Thank you!

5. Wow.
:wow:

My dear California Peggy, that is much more intense that just dropping an "f"-bomb.

I promise to never say anything negative about you... not that i could.

Oh, thanks, sweetie!

And, even better: DarkTirade has set it to music in #19...have a listen!

I don't know where my poetry comes from...

And maybe it's just as well that I don't! :scared:

28. My dear Blue...
Everybody has a dark side, sweetie...

Even me...

Don't be scared, though...

It's not a major part of me...

Just a tiny bit...

I'm really the way you normally see me here...
