Poetree

poetry saved me

corrupted me

spanked me

like a 

supplicant w***e

taught me

abused me

amused me

let me 

write ...

whatever the f**k

            I like

and did not care ...

I like the idea of being able to express yourself on paper in exactly the manner you wish. I find myself in real life being so careful when I speak to people to ensure I don't cause offence. You certainly splash freedom across the page with your ink. I am not brave enough to do that. Poetry has certainly been a constant friend to you.

certainly has Chris,but you do get some strange looks sitting in biker bars reading Lorca, as for bravery, I have read some of your personal emotional heart poetry with a tear in eye,

[Robert Trakofler]

This is so much more to me than what’s on the surface of your lines!!! It is for me so easy in getting trapped in what I want to express and what I feel I can express that many a poem gets lost in the translation I need to learn to not care more Gram:) this is in fact genius oh yeah and I like it too

[gram linski]

Thanks man, high praise from a writer of your calibre, your poems, reviews and comments always bring a smile, a rare thing in these dark times, is any of your music available on-line, would like to hear some,

Read this the other day. Have been thinking about it. I feel like poets need their own charge into battle kind of thing. I mean, the battle is usually solo, but we do have each other in places like this. And I think it’s great the ways we come to identify with one another and recognize that we have similar thoughts and ideas as others. Even if we have to go outside our regular lives to find that out.

The ending is where you get me. Poetry does let me write whatever the f**k I like, and that’s why I adore it. It also lets me write what I need and then magically. Yeah. It’s just good. That whole thing where you don’t know what you need to say until you say it. The mystery of the process.

Poetry always has a place in my jumbled head. Even when I let it slip a little and it corrupts me. I get that too.

Once more unto the breach, yo. Or, I’ll go with a variation of your charge at the end. Poetry does not care. Those are good words to fight by. Yes.

Go Eilis, we will fight them with language, in bars at open mic nights, in hand typed pamphlets, on the beaches in sand,

Nice bit of Churchill there gram:))

I truly admire the frank, nonconformist attitude expressed here. It's refreshing... because it's so damn true for so many.

[gram linski]

thanks R.E. just write what the f**k you like disregarding social media/stereotype, let the poetree free sending tendrils and seeds to be reborn some sunny day

An interesting, kind of aggressively defiant take on the 'art' of pasting ink to paper, but never-the-less one that hold a sentiment many of us lesser poets who suffer dolops of imposter syndrome feel!

[gram linski]

lesser poets who suffer dolops of imposter syndrome, what the f**k you on about, fool, lol, always appreciate you're enlightened reviews, John, cheers
