Hell

HELL Well this is hell isn't it? Tolerating a throbbing screen and pounding a stationery keyboard blazes at the screen and says, "Jesus Wept there's got to be more to life than this, surely". Writers Block. Flosses teeth. Gazes in the mirror and says, "What are you looking at now?" "What's behind me", she answers the reflection, peering at the mirror. Turns away, walks out of the room.

I do enjoyed reading this. Its a bit uncanny that our writing styles are somewhat similar,something I havent come across in Soup yet.

Anyone who doesn't follow the rules is a Goddess/God in my book. I like poems that make you think, deliver intelligent humour and are delectable, colourful...or deliver real images about real issues. Love your writing. You've got your own style. x

Do you get your inspiration from David Lynch? You have great taste if you do and your poems I've read so far do have a little of his flavor. You are a very talented writer with a very creative mind.

Thanks James. I'm really no poet, but I do love to write. David Lynch is fantastic, but no, I wouldn't say a great influence. I pull things out from nowhere, they sometimes fit and stick together, other times not. I shall go read your creations now. Thanks for the compliment, I've a long way to go, if that at all. Leanne
