Help Me Tonight

Help Me Tonight

A Poem by Shelby Baker

 

 

Hello there
 your my friend tonight aint cha?
Already taken some shots of you
Feeling my spirits heighten
memory puzzled a little like old age
Nice flame burning in my stomach
but my heart still squeezes
I thought you help with drowning
pain and sorrow
That's what I've heard
Why aint you helping me?
Please help me
I don't want to feel pain anymore
Please help me..
Jack Daniels..
please..help me..

Good piece.

images of desperation are overflowing in this piece...the emotions for help are strong here....you have captured this moment very well...

Good piece, sounds like a plea for help, not just from good ol' Jack either. It's painful to read, when one really thinks of it.

sweet in a way, but there's a real pain underlying there. Nice work.

"Please Help me Jack Daniels" A beautiful, yet realistic line. I don't care what anyone says, I love this! Great Work.

Smiles... an impish piece of writing... spirited, one might say :-)

Poetry-lite.
You write well but I seemed to feel the influence of too much Willie Nelson rather than Jack Nelson.
My poor wit.
There is a lack of depth to the poem and it deals with a matter that has been dealt with by so many poets. Try a more unique aspect of your life or reflections and let the world have them.
In short, it's fine, but it does show a fledgling poet searching for an original 'voice'.
Keep searching, I'll keep reading.
