Notes About The Poem

Locksmith

Unlock the mind
Let insanity caress reality
The explosion
May create a poet
Of sorts

Key West lime
Running out of time
Kissing strangers while moonshine
Tumbles inside the livered soul
Unlock the horrors and let me go

The last good kiss
Ran amiss

The title made me think it might have been a write about one of my relatives, oh well, I still enjoyed the read. Well done Arthur...

Very clever, Arthur! Love the way you have the insanity caressing reality to create a poet. Guess we writers are all a bit loony. If we avoid "moonshine," perhaps we'll never suffer from a "livered soul." But what can we do when our "last good kiss" runs amiss? Quite a thought-provoking write. 7 of course.

Such a creative and masterful piece of writing. Somewhat abstract in form but more than pleasant to the eye and the mind. So many well crafted lines in this one. Really nice Arthur

Well this brings to mind a few things Arthur, the first is freeing a trapped mind and the second in regards to Key West is "Fantasy Fest" which is a week long event where the masses dress in mostly just body paint turning reality into fantasy. Love your poem.

Cancers tight grip can be overwhelming. It certainly unlocks so many emotions. This is very deep and a darn good write.
