    Puppet Master

    I was carved from    the oldest tree   by strange things   in the beginning    ancient things that   dance and spill blood  The music was sharp   and cut deep into   my creation of stings...

    • I’ve honestly have only watched the first episode of Stranger Things. but your poem stands powerfully on its own. The imagery is so vivid and eerie, it feels like a story in itself.

      • In the fourth season there is a character that plays the song from Metallica. So epic!!!! I put the link below in case you’re curious. I haven’t been writing the past year. I’ve been busy trying new things so your comment means the world.

        Thanks for stopping by:)

    • Wow this is dark. I remember the show. Nicely written.

      • Hey Fia. Thank you!
        I wrote this yesterday trying to find my mojo. lol
        It’s been a while since I’ve sat down and written anything.
        I’m going to post more often but it might be some older stuff from DUP.
        Im still simmering on my other write about wildflowers.
        Fingers crossed I will write something this weekend.

        Thanks for the support:)

    • What! Of course you should’ve been made! All of my bad luck, you are my salvation!
      You don’t write “dark” much. But obviously you can when it hits ya. The plethora of details within the write make it full, like a bag of candy when trick or treating. (That black cat I saw a few weeks ago was right outside my front door this evening!).
      Haunting write, my Morticia,LOL.

    • Hahahaha. There’s your word plethora!! You crack me up up.
      Me a good luck charm? I feel a pandora charm coming on hehehehe
      And you can’t take it back. I’m still your salvation but you have to take me shopping for girl stuff!
      Thank you lover !!

    • Powerfully penned, Adel. Excellent write my friend, this one has darker tones. I dig it. Appreciate you.

    • Hey there amigo. It’s the month of Halloween!
      Now is the time for darker writes:)
      I’m going to indulge in my dark side for a minute. lol

      Thanks for the snaps on this write!

    Dead Muse

    Dead MuseBy FlatDaddyMy baby's all black and blue and broken,  lying on the bed beneath me  inside me,Done in by ice  and eight years of morphine  that never ends the pain --  but dulls the mind  slays the will ...

    • I feel the muse here is the dead one for eight years now.
      Painful loss…she is no longer inside him. Either she forced him into the drugs or he forced her out because of them.
      I think your poetry screams about the underside of life…the side many may not want to see because it mirrors them.
      The unwanted sides.
      This is really good, FD.

      • Thank you so much, J. All true, of course; however, in poetry, all readers can see only what they can interpret from their particular viewpoints, their own life experiences, and thus, their “interpretation” is valid only as possible truth, their truth — but actual truth can be diametrically opposite: The muse is the hero: eight years gone, killed by pain, and now, with the HELP of the morphine, is finally the resurrector. Then, of course, the morphine itself must be, and was, vanquished, and the man is back. For now, at least. In a situation like this, nothing is permanent. Try it from that viewpoint.

      • I already replied, but I keep getting a notification that takes me back to here. So I don’t know if you got what I replied last night, above this.

        • I sure did get it….the poem is universal when readers might get something different from the poem than what exactly inspired it.
          j.

          • I figured the notification number would change once the reply had been read and answered. Guess not. That’s confusing.

    Rat Revelation

          There it was!There it was, right there in theAustin American Statesman,page E11, Sunday, April 9th, 1989:incontrovertible scientific proof!At first I thought it wasn't important,just another filler,relegated to deep burial on page E11 --and then the revelation swept...

    • Now that is interesting. That tiny brain was in control all that time. So we have the same tiny brain and respond just the same way as a man would. Was that article in the Times? Nice read

      • See the 1st verse: Austin-American Statesman, April 9th, 1989. A real study. And boy, did I get a lot of flack from the “gentle sex.” Just reporting what I read — in my own words, of course. Isn’t that what good reporters do?

    • I was intrigued the whole time reading this.
      Informative and entertaining!
      With a side of “it wasn’t my fault”. Hahaha
      Enjoyed the read.

    • I’m glad you enjoyed it. It is a fun one to perform, though it’s been a good while since I have done that.
