    The Taste of Synonym

    THE TASTE OF SYNONYM     The odor of stale beer danced with the steel blue smoke, while Ska beats filled the air with electricity.   As the room filled, a thousand words spoke all at once, loudly, making it seem like a small riot. Amidst the noise of confusion and polemical...

    • Very clever, for starters. And you carried the story theme along so well. It’s a read for creative thinkers who wanna frolic. LOL
      It isn’t so trippy that I couldn’t stay with it. Great write.

      • Frolic away, my friend! I am glad you enjoyed the read, Styxian, it is always good to see you on one of my poems.

    • Hi ValuptasUnholyWhisper!!! If that is you in the avatar (photo), it is nice to see your smiling face, and welcome to my poetic garden. And it is my pleasure to have “captivated” you.

      perhaps you might also like Deep Forest, and Enya? These are some of my “trippy” musical treats from the 90’s. I’m listening to Enya’s “Watermark” as I type this reply.

      Anyway, I love when you visit, thank you for time and words.

    • The places this one took me…You held this one on the crest of wave after wave of poetic brilliance. It was the faded tight jeans that locked me in and kept me rolling with it

      • Hi Willow! This poem, its internal mix of emotion is one of the poems I am most proud of. While it is a play on words, it is also the way “faded jeans and flannel shirt”, makes it more real, more conversational. I am glad you noticed this and more that you got hooked by it and brought you deeper into the poem. Thank you!

    I lose Control

    I JUST LOSE CONTROL (It amazes me. Take a song from a long time ago, add a conversation with a close friend, and kiss your Muse. Here is what happens.)     “ooh ooh baby when you’re near me, I just lose control. I feel the earth...

    • so very lovely and refreshingly romantic ❤️

      • Crimsin! So nice of you to visit and leave me such wonderful words on this poem. I hope you don’t mind, I sent you a friends request and will visit your page to read some of your works.

        Thanks again.

    • Mary, Mary, HI and Hello and I am out of control seeing that you are here, leaving me an “amazing”. Okay Curt, calm down, behave, it’s your friend Mary. Stay in control, she likes your poem, everything is okay! Hi Mary, this is the “nice” redzone. I come once in a while cause Curt is excitable, especially when Valuptas is visiting and “whispers” at one of his poems. If his excitement bothers you, just bop him upside his head. 🌹

    • WHEEEE, redzone is excited and dancing around… UPSIDE DOWN!!!! er.. ;0)

    No Diggity

    No Diggity (revolution is real and will be televised)   Damn girl, work it with them beats moving your sway and the jazz is sweet.   The beat drops into California rockin’, Tupac lays down the rifs; west coast east coast, shakin’, shakin’, there’s an uprisin’ in the clubs tonight.   Damn people, rockin’ east coast west coast worldwide...

    • I know, I know. I need to do this, make an audio. I’m kind of scared it will sound like shit. Maybe I should do an AI version. And Canva is a good app to use for this?!

      Thanks Mary.

    • I can feel the movement in this! It’s got some heat on the burner!

    Till Death

    Wind rushing through the opened window. My mouth still covered by his digits. I see the airflow rattle the leaves of the petty flowers he got me in the kitchen. “I’mma make you a widow if you don’t quit your...

    • Thank you so much 🙏🏻💕

    • SHIT!! FUCK!! It’s hard to know what to say. I wish I had the words, but anger gets in the way.

      The only thing I can think is: Drieks, you know that you are a human being, a woman, and nothing he says is true. You know this right? Deep down inside you, you know, and believe, not just the words but the reality of being, of being you, whole, wonderful, and worth being alive.

      This poem will stay with me for a long time
      Curt

    • Powerfully penned, Drieks. Excellent write my friend, thank you for sharing your truth. Appreciate you.

      Damian

    • The title says it all till death.
      It sounds romantic in wedding vows. It clarifies your commitment to each other but sometimes things change.
      Not for the better. This write is a clear example of how it can manifest into a nightmare except it’s real.
      This is a great scene to build on. In the back of my mind I was hoping she would find the mace!

    • That was very difficult to read, my friend. I am so glad you wrote this years ago. I am certain you are no longer in that situation nor any other like it. You are too, too strong now to ever again allow that.
      There is so much power in your writing, Drieks. I’ve been listening to your work and re-reading the words and constantly amazed; I keep turning other people on to you. Keep up the good work; you are one of our best — and I do not mean just here. I mean anywhere, everywhere.
