soul-numb nights in red light glaze-gaze vodka hazed streetlights spill blood beads of a loveless life a heart scarlet scarred

This poem made me feel some type of way. Love the alliteration, love the image your words form in my mind all the more. Emotional masochism is my brand, what can I say? You hit all the right spots, beautifully. Wishing you contentment and happiness, Hiba :)

What a treat, love the word play, it tickled me just right. I just realized I loved the words so much, I reacted with glee and called this a treat while 'blood beads of a loveless life. How callous of me. You caused it - with your near-rhymes and word choices! Be well and please, forgive my behavior ... CayCay

Dear Charlotte, your striking imagery and use of language, even in such few words as this, never fails to deliver the potent impact I've come to expect from your amazing poetry. Great last line too, with potent sound play and poignant emotion. Congratulations for your success in Nette's contest. Warmest wishes, my inspiring poet friend.. ~Susan

Bad booze, bad sex, shit life. You can see why it never sells. Like your cheery poems.

I found you. I think I'll try it. But this piece, when you read it a second time you see much more. You know the Harlot they speak of. Combine her with todays world and she fits.

Ahhh I did one on this too. I remember you did one a while back on the life of a prostitute. Yours is nice and bleak, as it should be. Short poems are not my thing generally speaking. I like wordy stuff
