Paloma P Poet Burlesque

Hungover Ego

Tripped over your intoxication

of a darkly delivered potent punch

flowing in absurd contradictions,

wallowing mid drunkenly exhilarated

gulps of denial's cursed vintage,

swallowing elixir's exhales in a shot glass

engulfing reflection's accelerated fire,

bourgeois Machiavellianism slurs topped

off machinations' idiosyncratic delusions,

'twixt boozy sips of head game’s hungover ego

Freddie Robinson Jr. November 19, 2016 at 12:57 PM Wonderful irreverently funny poem, Paloma. I'll pass on imbibing anymore of the fermented frivolity packed in this peppermint peach schapps of a poem. Great word play in this one. Love and peace to you.

Chris Green November 17, 2016 at 7:17 AM I feel a bit woozy after reading this and the room is spinning, I'm thinking this poem far exceeds 100 proof. But, I can't help drinking it a little more. This is definitely intoxicating Paloma and one of your best in my opinion. Chris Green November 17, 2016 at 10:29 AM I can't believe you only got 4 comments on this poem. This is so good. I just don't get it. I really don't get it. I though a poetry site was to share poetry and thoughts and ideas. Let a poet know what you think about what they write but it doesn't seem that way. here it is post a poem and collect views, whatever the hell good they are for. Sorry to rant but it is disheartening. Loved your poem Paloma. Paloma P November 17, 2016 at 7:33 AM Take two aspirin and call me in the morning. :) Many thanks Chris, you made my day!
