F**k Poetry

I’ve been told
ladies are supposed to
cover themselves
in flowers
fine wines
for men

F**k poetry
ladies don’t
have time

But lately
Bukowski sits
upon a bar-stool
in my head
laughing

He’s telling me
to f**k her and him poetically
emotionally physically
figuratively speaking

I can’t decide to which
he is referring to
the new or the old
when jealousy
on both ends
has me
by the
throat

Why do I attract
broken things
like abandoned
puzzle pieces

Why do my words
not sit right in my mouth
when I can’t even stand up
and speak for myself

I don’t deserve
to be a
poet

I canp't tell you how much I like the "Why do I attract the broken things?" How many women have asked that question? How delightfully creative! I loved it!

[Eagle Cruagh]

I did`nt do it Samantha....
But, somebody sure did it to you
and you gotta be a little forgiving.
Why ? Because somebody said , " you just gotta
take a lot of crap and smile.
Thanks for a good write.

You deserve to be a poet because you are a very good poet. You speak without beating around the bush, and get straight to the point, you do it in poetic fashion.

[Trace]

Oh yes you do.
and you do it well.

lol thanks for all your reviews ... Last year when my "virginpoet" name was true yes I was a virgin til I was 33 anyway I use to compare writing poetry to having sex because it was more reveling than flesh and even now after having sex it still holds true on a lot of levels. Most of my poetry is erotic and I have over 500 posted here so my words have a lot of sex haha and yep I do have a poem about the alphabet having sex

[Trace]

I need to go do my research of your naughty stuff

[Samantha ~virginpoet]

lol I would recommend doing it in private cause um you know haha if poetry effects you the way it does me

[Trace]

Have you read my naughty stuff? It will curl your toes....

[Samantha ~virginpoet]

Several of my desires series poems get naughty
but my novel that is posted here is called: A LUST FILLED ESCAPE.

I love the painful beauty within these lines...and this stanza is awesome!

"Why do I attract
broken things
like abandoned
puzzle pieces."

Love this! O' and the image as a finale was perfect.

"Why do I attract broken things"--these words resonate with me on a profoundly deep level. This piece is an excellent example of how one can be moved through poetic expression. Thank you for sharing.

This is an amazing kick a*s write -- I just dig your stuff so much. There is so much in here to like I can't pick out one thing. Write on sister.

But you better slap a MATURE on it before it gets slapped on you.
