Trappings

Trappings

Smoky bars
are my den of iniquity
not social
filled glasses
with conversational 
immunity.

Stinky fumes
as my frequent
rolled papers
with cancer
And desperation
lament.

These smoky bars
are just the bees
in fact
you can walk right through them
if you please
but never passed
least not with ease.

Wonderful vivid imagery with your very descriptive words...creatively written with meaning that is most enjoyable to read :-) I really like this one...I am way too wordy..lol so I appreciate the impact that few words have. Terrific writing :-) blessings, lynn

Fiona, Welcome to Poetry soup, I hope you enjoy the community. Here, you will find friendly poets who enjoy supporting one another. I myself, enjoy reading and commenting those who want to be read. The only time I give constructive criticism is when a poet desires it. However, if for some reason the poem is not my field I will guide you to someone who is more qualified than I. Stop by and read one of my poems if you like. My poems are not perfect, but I have a feeling you might like one. I encourage you to check out the contest page and read to receive comments. Tell me a little about your poetic skills if you like. It will be my pleasure to follow and read every poem you post from here on :) We are Lucky To Have you. Your New Poet Friend @-> LINDA <-@

Linda I've been having a look through your work - what a wonderful collection, I'll be a while getting through them all! I only started writing poetry at the beginning of this year and still have so much to learn so any feedback from a poet such as yourself will be of great value and greatly appreciated. I'm not sure how to initiate a conversation on here without replying through comments? I look forward to learning and sharing with you. Fiona
