    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 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 (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!

    • Now you mention it and so eloquently .. I think that many of us have been there and asked the same searching questions .. Write on brother Curt .. You do it so well .. Neville 😎⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐👍

    • Brilliant and sweet. Excellent.

    • This ones of those that is written in simple words yet because the feelings are real and genuine, it’s like the only way to reflect these feelings is by the simplicity. no big words, no complication, it is as it is. It reads for me as a song of love and life, a sweet sad love song.

      • Forgot to mention the word sentimental too, it’s a sentimental poem/song.

      • It’s always a pleasure to read your comments, Light. Thank you for dropping them. Some poems are meant to be stated straight up, like driving a fast moving car and eyes on the road ahead. While some poems are meant to said softly, with flowers strewn across the road and lots of detours to smell them. I like your take on this poem.

    • Thank you, Mary. But those dots at the end of your words, please continue!! ;0)

    I Walk Alone

    I Walk Alone   dusty, well-worn moccasins travel through mesa shadows, windblown arroyos, along dry river beds of delusions alone with myself.   steam from hot rocks surround naked skin attempting to cleanse the death that follows me; cleanse my wolf spirit so that I may run, alive, breathe in high mountain air, drink...

    • Favorite line: You cannot cleanse the loneliness, and the sun shines in rainbows, and clouds speak to grandmother moon. This is a wonderful piece of poetry
