Current mood:creatively malevolent
Category: Writing and Poetry
I have just watched a 2 hour documentary about Bukowski, am currently watching the DVD of Leonard Cohen"s 2008 concert in London, have spliffed up, finished the Jameson ate chocolate and continue to smoke the cigars like it was my job... too much sensory input?  I'll let you be the judge... just wrote this wee small poem

THEN SHE WINKED

Mrs. Death laughs… deep-throated with
an expected soupçon  of depraved enjoyment
a knowing twist in the tail of the peal
makes even Death himself; peer over his shoulder

I'm loving that.

Concentrated and cutting.  Delicious use of language.

You can feel those influences rubbing shoulders with your own style.
