I love the vague references and allusions, the metaphorical array of madness and symbolism. You can certainly feel the missteps and empathize with the devastation. As with all good poetry, I can read this in several different ways.
It’s a piece that keeps calling you back, Thomas… like a final glance behind you at a beautiful woman passing by.

Read MoreIn this cafe, with dirt for wallpaper. The heat is a bitch, and the fan in the ceiling is the worst— turning counter-clockwise. Sipping on my cup of coffee and milk. Too many flies, buzzing, fighting over throne, fighting over food, fighting over fly-chicks. Whatever they are fighting for— only that...

Don’t want to be there but you forced me in this place with your detailed writing. DAMN GOOD! If you want an ice cream cone, go to Dampkitten’s poem “Poetspeak Sweet”. There you’ll find an ice cream cone and a whole lot more.

Yeah, they have bubble gum ice cream, and it’s gross. Also, have you tried the cotton candy green seedless grapes? My God, they taste just like it. Weird.

Bubble gum flavour id gross! I disagree. But hearing of cotton candy green seedless grapes, I think you are right about the bubble gum flavour in there. Hahaha.

LOL… I thought you were referencing my poem from the beginning. And now, I find out you like strawberry ice cream. OMG. By the way, is this ‘mosquito wing’ phrase an allusion to Smells Like Teen Spirit?
You do realize that you could enter this poem in the ‘coffee’ poem contest don’t you?
You will find this extremely weird, but the imagery in your piece is very reminiscent of the hotel scene early in the movie, Apocalypse Now.

Lol. I saw your poem after our fellow poet: visions_of_insanity’s recommendation for ice cream. It ended up another type of ice cream. Lol
No. But I liked the reference. I had another poem that I have lost, where I referenced Nirvana’s Smells like teen spirit.
Mosquito’s wings here symbolize inferiority. For their tiny wings comparing with flies. Idk why it came to my mind. But I used it.I didn’t know about the contest. The setting of this poem is in a cafe but the themes has nothing to do with coffee.
I don’t remember this scene. I think I’ll rewatch it one day.
Thank you for reading and for the comments, DK. “)

Mosquito wings comes with mosquito responsiblities. The limitless ability of sucking. Hahaha
Thank you, DK! “)

Damn mosquito…no chance with all those flies, just keep them off my ice cream cone.
This is so powerful in its imagery…and such a disgusting place…I think I will get my cone to go.j.

You’re going to seduce all the women on this site if you keep it up, Richard. What the hell are you going to do with all of us? We can’t all fit in your fucking shower.
I love a man who can write a Sonnet.

Hmmm, Dear Lady-Poet 🤔
A conundrum, M’Dear, if ever there was … but, as vibrantly imaginable as that cozy scenario is, imagination compels a creative bard to queue them all and admit 2-3 at a time; or, spend the coin for a bigger shower. I mean, anything to avoid leaving anyone out … LOL! I do like that title, though … “fucking” shower – ohhh-MY!
To be loved by You for any reason extends far beyond any response my humble words could justly reach.
Bless your darling heart … I’m thinking, “More sonnets!” ⁓ Rascal🖌

Oh-MY, right back at you, Sweet Adira!🤗
What better for a hopeful Bard than to receive the glowingly sensual approval of such a lusty femme fatale? This, I cannot answer. ; )
Aw, give those guys a chance … they feel the same, I’m sure, with You there to compel their fervorous blood to flow … even if the caresses of their words might not as vibrantly kiss your yearnings’ ache.
Ohhh-YES, Dear Poetess, repeats are always warmly welcome! ⁓ Rascal🖌

Oh, there you go, Richard. The Kyrielle volley. I don’t know that I can crank these out like you can! Wow. Very beautiful.

Thank you most warmly, Dear DK, for your gracious praise. 🥂
It is so deeply satisfying to please such a talented poetess as yourself.
There’s not a scintilla of doubt you can compose Kyrielles every bit as masterfully (if not moreso) than I ever dreamed of being able to.Give me your best shot … I’ll love it! ⁓ Richard🖌
