Hauptbahnhof Berlin Blues

a song, nearly

Such an auditive roof

Like pots and pans escaping

So put a blues over it, maybe

cee eff or gee it

Worse than getting

Years ago, in the playground

Smacked in the gob

By Trudy with

Hair like a nautical cable

The parting ;

You explode like a bombed bouquet

And fall into the platform 

Down the silver stairs

And if this

Breaks me like a fallen cup

Then for Christ`s sake;

This is more than I need

Reviews

[Coyote Song]

There is so much that can leave us broken in life. We we can get up again, if we heal, then maybe we won't pass it on. A very impressive write.

[Tina Kline]

Nickey done. You have extraordinary writing skills and do create great poems. And this one stand there along with all your other fantastic writes!

[Pete Langley]

Ah...the let-downs, the put-downs, the leavings and the breakages.....stations have them all the world over. This seems like fragmented thought scars.....much like a blues. P.

[Leslie Philibert]

Hallo Pete, thanks as ever for the kind words, and my best wishes to my home country and you...

[John Alexander McFadyen]

This provoked the sound of Berlin Central Station and the cacophany of tin like noises which stations emit as you choose the blues as your escape Leslie.

[Leslie Philibert]

Thanks for the kind words, you always take time to look at my work, and I appreciate that,best wishes !

great personification of the blues..."a bombed bouquet exploding"
gob smacked...by this poem...

and especially love the last two lines...sometimes when i am already blue...i hear those chords...and it's overwhelming...(more than i need) as you express.

sometimes i think i can write....and then i read your work, and think how far i have to go...

[John Alexander McFadyen]

Jacob You, Leslie and my son are my favourite poets on WC. You all write excellent poetry. Different but excellent. Difference being James and Leslie cannot compete with your level of output.

[Leslie Philibert]

Dear Guys, thanks for the kind words, I try to write good poetry, but there are so many brillant poets working I get very little published, but there you go...

[jacob erin-cilberto]

it's so much editors' tastes Leslie..

I have known several really good poets, never published, and have seen many works in publications that are pretty nondescript as poetry goes...always hard to tell where the audience lies.
