Poets, like it or not, get it or not? CaptCliff
Jiminy Cricket

I found your Jiminy Cricket
Bound and Gagged
Hogtied to my weeping willow tree
Covered in your spider web silk
Wrapped up like a mummy Prince
Some stealthy sleuths
Some shadowy gang
Cut his heart out
With razor blades
Garroted him with piano wire lies
Finished him off with a single shot
Of ice cold self deception
I would rather have found a horse's head
In my fluffy white down covered king size bed
Such a noble conscience deserved
A far more conscious
And less bitter end

Telling the truth is usually the best start in writing. And I believe I've made my thoughts on this particular piece of yours clear *smile*

About time you jumped ship and joined us Captain.

oh yeah, one more thing...y'all know Chinese Emperor Qin's terra-cotta army....8000 beautifully detailed ceramic soldiers buried with him for his protection. If something happens to me...I want to be buried with 8000 clay figurines in the likeness of Katie, Denise, and Alicia. I mean it....smile2 waving winking

Well, I've always had a real aversion to being buried. Would you care to share ashes with us instead? :heart:

I have a question, I hope it doesn't sound silly, but I was wondering, when you said, its dark but real, did you mean kinda like maybe other poets on here aren't real with their writings, and if not, what do you mean by that, or are you saying, it is Real as in a hard subject?what flowerforyou

definitely the latter inkraven....i have come to know some of u and can only marvel at how real (truthful)the words/work is...in a world/society that appears to have become masters of superficiality...like reality tv. More personally, since u dont know me...I have only recently "crossed over" (nods to John Edwards) and left the safe confines of my therapy chair to attempt to tell MY truth versus nodding alot and saying, "I understand..oh it looks like our time is up..". Oh yeah, ask the other peeps...I'm sarcastic...but not mean. In fact, I bleed alot...and seek solace in a place with people of depth:cry: winking .

Yeah, and I believe it was the band New Radicals who sang (about Alice Cooper, Courtney Love,and Marilyn Manson, etc.)
You're all fakes
Run to your mansions
Come around, we'll kick your ass in!

Don't let go
One dance left
Don't give up
Can't forget (you Get What You Give)

Muchas gracias pkd, and dkowench dont worry...anybody with wench in their name is supercool with CaptCliff! ....and..I just realized I want to change the phrase noble conscience with "exquisite corpse", which has several layers of meaning, all very appropriate. I am so afraid that the reader wont "understand" that I make dull compromises (in wording)that are either too obvious or just wrong...hey, I'm learning!!
