Nine Inch Nails, Ten Pins and the Purl Stitch

"Nine Inch Nails, Ten Pins and the Purl Stitch" She takes the cake they offer, chewing too rapidly, she Shrews when she speaks I’ll beat warpath drums, she says, no mistake I’m a groper ... goody two shoes she says mouth wide open songs problematic she's done and she's gone a stitch loose in the weave drop one pearl one dropped gone for kissing small bait in the shallows she circles her quarry bites their backs she sits astride the legs of a hot gripping story sits like a monkey begging for peanuts she spits in comments I'm thoroughly congruent in moments of questionable torrent I am all here dear boy dear girl knit one drop one pearl hooray I am all here, here hearing all seeing, all knowing I throw it back and I’ll give you the crux of the crutch all knowing make no mistake. my good god I don’t care I don’t care do we care? I don’t care. truly I eat their sour pears, place more wax in my ears she throws pearls decorously adorning the minds of sows’ rears left wing molting a mouth full of feathers right wing feeding them she’s all knowing bling bling bling bling bling bling bowling ball glowing Ten pins preparing minds sharp needles and yarns Purl Stitch knit one, drop one knit one drop one win (LadyLabyrinth / 2021) “Ram” – Paul, Linda Mcartney https://youtu.be/dQwdanGKILI We're so sorry, uncle Albert But we haven't done a bloody thing all day We're so sorry, uncle Albert But the kettle's on the boil And we're so easily called away Hands across the water, water Heads across the sky Hands across the water, water Heads across the sky "Sit by my side, and let the world slip: we shall ne'er be younger." "There's small choice in wrotten apples". "If I be waspish, best beware my sting.”

And the title sets the stage for a journey into creativity, and wondrous poetry with an immensely talented poet! If only I could even even approach such a level of creativity, imagery and truly magical inking. A fav- God bless..

calibrating collaboration through unique channels. AKA who gives a jot what the Piranha trolls are swimming in, let them eat each other, while the true poet writes his escape. Let's be honest, I'm no laureate, but you just might be. ;) x Thanks fo the kind words and thoughts. Never give up your writing Lindley, it is the truest essence of you.

My dear friend, I have only ever read a few poets that strike me as magnificently creative, blessed with keenest eyesight into the heart of poetry- and all of those were golden poets of poetry's golden age- until there came YOU! This gem so truly floors me. A fav- a magnificent beauty it tis..

if only the damn artwork didn't drop out all the flaming time...I cannot write without art or music...musicians are poets and poets feel music when they write - you cannot tell me this isn't true. I might do something unique one day and write a poem without the art or music...and leave it to the reader's take on it all to form their own art and music from the words.

Too Many People...music is the best medicine, truly, and a little honey for after reads and burning The Feral Times.

"Catch up (catch up) Super fury Don't get left behind (get left behind)...When a rattle of rats had awoken The sinews, the nerves and the veins My piano was boldly outspoken In attempts to repeat this refrain..." catch up cats and kittens, don't get left behind.

hmmm, how shall I state this, like many writers in this chicken coup, I become heartily sickened of reading the vitriolic comments directed at others, who many spit their poison at, with very little personal knowledge of who they're unloading their diatribe of dross on - they become the trolls themselves. It then astounds me, verbal diarrhea such as that, wins, it would seem the much covetted potd. I understand the cathartic process of it all, but if one has to cast acid-full nasturtiums at people, best to write about the people you know personally, not ficitionally....and then flush it down the .....

One has to hold their shrewness in check and understand it is not winning a poetic claim that brings forward the goldstars in life, it is certainly getting off the porch and going leftfield to build your own character. You make a valid point, Pops ....get off my porch, not get-off on my porch. I am holding a loaded gun. Trolls begone....wave of magic wand, and they still sit on the porch with nothing better to do. Regards, from the GoodyTwoShoes Pool - Tinker Bell...she was good in a bad way. actually a good title. I leave the porch daily to study humanity ... and I will continue to write...;)
