the dead walk

since it's so popular these days

She said "walker"
and my thoughts immediately went there,
the living dead rising in my mind --

it is much easier
to immerse oneself
in ridiculous fantasy
than face the day.

and thus we turn from reality
to face the gauntlet
of vampires and zombies
trolling the Cafe'

I love the show. At work. This is what we talk about. I agree better than real life conversation. Nice poem. I'm waiting and ready for the next season. Thank you for discussion my favorite TV show.

You are welcome. I am hooked.

[Coyote Poetry]

Me too. Sunday night need the Walking dead.

[MsJewel]

So true, so true...
Hey...but welcome back!

[Lyn Anderson]

Yes, an interesting saga to return to I must say. Thank you.

[NoelHC]

How true it is! Much a*s clownery on the Cafe as of late.

One thing that I looked at in this:
it is so easy
to immerse oneself
in ridiculous fantasy
than face the day.

Maybe:

Your mileage may vary, but that seems more appropriate to me.

[Lyn Anderson]

Yes I think that sounds better, thanks.

[Matching Socks]

Indeed. Well said.
Now, where are you hiding Daryll Dixon.
I want a piece of that. :)

[Lyn Anderson]

No kidding. I was slow to hop on the dead bandwagon but now I am hooked like everyone else.

Hey, anyone seen my leather vest with the wings on the back?

[Matching Socks]

Lol! :)
I jumped on at season two but I downloaded season one first.
You need a crossbow too Will

[willweb]

The crossbow is down in my barging in on MOMz's review. Oh, I haven't washed my hair in weeks. Just saying...

[Lyn Anderson]

Oh, I'd wash Darryl's hair (just saying ...)

[Matching Socks]

Lol! Yeah. :)
I'd shower him with _____ (fill in blank as appropriate)

[MomzillaNC]

Very well stated. And, there's a sure-fire cure for both vampires and zombies…

Where's my ax?

[Lyn Anderson]

Thank you and yes, a cure is in order.

[MomzillaNC]

Grab your axe! (yes, I meant to write the verb form)

[willweb]

I prefer a crossbow...just saying. :)

[MomzillaNC]

Well, you can fell them with your crossbow. I'll cure (axe) them with the ax!

[Lydia Shutter]

Vampires and zombies OH MY! It does seem that they live among us. Reality is a reflection of fantasy....or is it? I liked this. Lydi**

[Lyn Anderson]

[Fran Marie]

they live among us...seems to be everywhere ..an everyday topic at the café ..well stated

[Lyn Anderson]

Thanks, I appreciate it.

sucking life's blood out of poets, sinking teeth into poetic bones.

[Lyn Anderson]

Yes, very much so. Depressing, to say the least. I know you feel it.
