The Good Turmoil

Inspired by a line by Christine Anne Shaw

The bad turmoil is the worst,

it breaks yer brain

and snaps yer bones

and hunts you down

like a dirty dog

the bad stuff is

the black stuff,

smothering, killing hope,

euthanasia of the soul,

Ah, but the good stuff ...

the passion and madness

carousing through techno coloured

flashing strobes, buzzing

immortal,

A euphoric dance of synapses

shouting, ecstatic naked

in the rain

adrenalin coursing and surfing,

all hail the good turmoil...

maybe both kinds of turmoil are good...because it makes us write...those dancing synapses get ecstatic when running naked...and the only way to do that is risk the bad as well as the good...
but i am not fond of getting my bones broken...so i hope for the good turmoil more.

Well gram, I got a mention and I am thinking, "Now what line was that?" Turmoil is turmoil. My brain tells me that neither are to be welcomed, but if I had a choice, give me the passion and the madness it brings. Thank you kind sir for the mention.

Hey Chris, think it was a line in one of your great reviews, you mentioned good turmoil and it got me thinking, thanks for the inspiration,

[Chris Shaw]

Ya know I can't even remember it gram, but happy to inspire you. Who would have thought it :)))

[gram linski]

It's like Henry Rollins and Stevie Smith having afternoon tea together, lol,

[Chris Shaw]

Well you know what they say about opposites :))

the one could not exist as it currently exists without the other.... an interesting and enjoyable juxtapositioning if ever there was.....

I did indeed...

Did you just steal my dog? Hell you can spill fast flowing, brittle, spittle filled verse with such ease. I have to say though your good stuff, in my 'professional' opinion makes you subject to detention under the 1982 Mental Health Act as it appears you are a danger to others and yourself!

[gram linski]

My mates call me grammy danger, the women call me grammy no danger, the only danger are the subliminal messages seeping into your brain, as for your dog I borrowed it and it broke,

[John Alexander McFadyen]

You broke my f*****g dog! You sure they aint saying gammy?
