Arthur Vaso Poet Light Verse

Notes About The Poem

 

I know I know, Tom and me look alike!!!

Poetry Is a Risky Business

Poetry is a Risky Business

The Recipe for Poetry

Open stereo
Turn volume medium high
Poor 3 shots of whiskey
Add 2 bottles of wine
Open 1 bag of chips
Add one box of Oreos
Listen to Alice Cooper
Then Abba
Then Dance of the knights
Then listen to all 3 at the same time
Stick pins into the doll of your ex
For added drama add some ketchup
Open up 2 brands of cheese
Because that shows some class that you have 2 types on hand
Do this
Before opening second bottle of wine
This way you’re not an alcoholic
Turn on some Paul McCartney and Uriah Heep
During moments the stereo is on high volume
Sing along
Down to the skivvies it is, if you have a hockey stick
A little air guitar for some added inspiration
Cut up some Edgar Allen Poe poems
To put between the Oreos and cheese
Eat till the feeling of darkness overcomes you
Let your thoughts simmer 5 hours
Voila done


When you wake up
You should have 1 or 2 poems facing you

Lindsay Laurie January 23, 2016 at 6:53 PM Crikey Arthur, I know where I'm going wrong now. A whole new life change coming up - thank you Arthur - Lindsay Arthur Vaso January 23, 2016 at 7:09 PM well by golly I swear it works now and then! :) Thanks mate!

Robert Lindley June 1, 2015 at 9:42 PM I just found this amazing poem my friend. You never cease to amaze me with your creativity and sense of humor too. We dearly love Oreos in this house but not big on wine at all. Poe is great and dancing with me wife is as well. Music soothes the soul and opens the mind as your writings always do! A7 Arthur Vaso January 23, 2016 at 7:12 PM Robert, your words always make me smile, you are always so kind and generous! Thank you!

Andrea Dietrich June 1, 2015 at 3:38 PM you are a HOOT. I love the allusion to risky business because Tom Cruise was awesome in that movie. Love how you connected all of this to writing poetry! freakin' clever! Arthur Vaso January 23, 2016 at 7:11 PM Thank you Andrea , I also connected it to Whiskey, to Rum, to wine, and oh yes even HOCKEY!!!! :) Hugs This late reply to your wonderful comment is only to show you I am the king of procrastination, and getting around to thinks way later than I should!!! Hugs

Harry Horsman June 1, 2015 at 8:55 AM wow i welcome this, love the music bits, although more 50's rock 'n' roll for me, but everything else i dine upon, especially waking up with poetry, as good as this is. Arthur Vaso June 19, 2015 at 10:25 PM Not much I do not like, so......... tell me a good 50's song you think I may not know!

Skat A June 1, 2015 at 6:54 AM a fun read, really enjoyed this one ~Luv S.K.A.T.

Darlene Gifford June 1, 2015 at 6:23 AM Wow! Very Funny. But would you have any energy left to write a poem? As for me, I'll just take a walk and play hop scotch on the sidewalk with the neighbor's kid. Arthur Vaso June 19, 2015 at 10:24 PM :) I think that sounds like more fun!

Nette Onclaud June 1, 2015 at 4:03 AM groovin' along with this upbeat piece, arthur... i'm toasting here with ya!... love the contemporary feel of this piece.. huggs Arthur Vaso June 19, 2015 at 10:17 PM Thank you Nette, well them I will mix some more martinis!

Jan Allison June 1, 2015 at 2:13 AM I read Vienna's poem then had to come and read this - sounds like one hell of a party - careful sticking in the pins with your ex - she may deflate lol Hugs jan xx - your creativity knows no bounds my friend you are awesome:-) x Arthur Vaso June 19, 2015 at 10:16 PM LOL Jan, oh I would never hurt my dear Inflatable Lucy! She never argues with me!

Tim Smith May 31, 2015 at 11:43 PM Lol....I like the pin sticking part Arthur Vaso June 19, 2015 at 10:14 PM LOL so did I!

Robert Johnson May 31, 2015 at 10:45 PM It's understandable why you wrote a poem like this with a diet like that. :) Fun read arthur. Arthur Vaso May 31, 2015 at 10:49 PM Thanks and to be honest I didn't really eat and drink all that, I only had a 1/2 box of Oreo's, not the whole box!!!!

Eve Roper May 31, 2015 at 9:16 PM Haha.. This is what I do when I paint.... I did read your blog and the poem of "Suicide Doll", you did a wonderful job on the write. It was heartbreaking that the following sequence of event happened. I love the internet a place you can find out anything you want. Arthur Vaso May 31, 2015 at 10:51 PM My dream is that one day you will paint 2 paintings for me, one for one of my poems and one for my memory of your sister. Your paintings are amazing brilliant works of art!!!!!
