Bucket

thank you as always, for considering my writing.

I have climbed 300 steps 

and sat beside the butchers pets.

I have etched in marble stone

and rose in blankets made of bones.

I have danced with withered w****s

and laughed with sinning pirate bores

I have taken flights of mind

marched in armies of mankind.

I have burned the church yard down

danced on every hot red mound

and dug out wells with pales of red

and to the children gave stoned bread.

I watched the sea swell with delight

Gave hope to those with endless night

I grieve by every paupers grave

like lovers tears for the newly saved.

I have sold off squares of skies

to melt off in poisoned pies.

I have squander endless gold

from rich men's purse where I've cajoled

And I will drink my whiskey straight

and make a list of what I hate.

I will jump off areoplanes

crashing through cathedral panes

And I will topple endless trees

upset the nest of surly bees.

And if you don't contain my spill

keep your promise in good will

For I am simply lost at sea

waiting that you come for me.

For I am simply biding time

waiting for that love of mine.

Fantastic impetus and so so much dizzying and wonderful music before your sweet coda. I love this one- adding it to my favourites.

I wish I could add this review to my library AW - its class !!

[Shannon April Alice]

Loll. I might frame that review. I've no idea what must of it means (I'm going to google it now) but I'm fairly sure this review is way better then the poem itself. Thank you Adam, you've made me incredibly puffed up with pride.

An you shall wait in a swell of impatience until that love ventures the deep to find you. Then you will know that he will be worth it:

And I will drink my whiskey straight
and make a list of what I hate.
I will jump off areoplanes
crashing through cathedral panes
And I will topple endless trees
upset the nest of surly bees.

I enjoyed this immensely!

[Pitta S Dev]

yes, you have taken flights of mind
marched in armies of mankind
every poet's thought you depict
portrayed their heart in ink perfect
Sahn, you scribbled right

[The Rock And Roll Cowbo..]

Taking chances in life is not only the way to truly live but to learn about ourselves, cause if we don't understand how can we expect another to,

[Shannon April Alice]

hmm very true.one shot on the merry go round.
