Read MoreDangerous Advice from a Poet Playing a Doctor freckles are little poems on the face of literature they frolic about cute? doubtful blemishes? not really and on the nose of inspiration they look good but the melanoma words that mix themselves in may be cancerous so perhaps stick to short stories they may present less...

You sense correctly. But a light-hearted slant to something that can be a really big problem in America.

A cancer among the freckles…now that is an interesting take. As a poet, you are saying they heal..Are short story writers considered a placebo?
Being that I write both, would I be considered a test subject? Hmm
I like this.-

And by the way….I envy those who can write Short Stories….I do not have the attention span. Started four different novels…got through 40, 60, 40 and 60 pages in each and lost my momentum.
But then our current person in charge of health would just ignore the freckle as nothing to worry about or a Democratic hoax.

This poem is so clever and darkly funny. The metaphors are brilliant, especially the idea of freckles as little poems and “melanoma words” as a threat. It makes the piece feel both whimsical and sharp, a tone perfectly captured by its fantastic title, “Dangerous Advice from a Poet Playing a Doctor.” Great Write, j.

hmmm let’s see, I don’t write short stories, I don’t have freckles, so all I can do is read your poem Jacob. And if you don’t mind my saying, it’s one fukin’ freckley good poem. The kind of freckle poem that gets under the skin of those who think they know art but understand nothing at all. Why do such people run our society, create cultural wars, and are a menace to humanity?!
So here goes a reading: once upon a time in Frecklesville….. LOL

Kind of a spotty town.

Love the feel of this. Reminds me of this song by S&G…..https://video.search.yahoo.com/search/video?fr=mcafee&p=poem+on+the+underground+simon+and+garfunkel&type=E210US752G0#id=2&vid=6df47f303922526d0faa70e1eaeed172&action=click

Thank you J. Flattered. Song is universal.
Work this out. I’m Welsh first, British second and my beautiful Dad was English. We’re a complicated bunch across the Atlantic. I stand against the heinous Empire and her jingoistic bs. Other than that, I’m very easy going. Lol. This song / anthem is central to my poetic heart. Subtitles are provided!

This poem is beautifully vivid and cinematic. I love how you blend the quiet of the night, the train platform, and motion with personal reflection. The imagery of film and landscape creates a strong, lingering atmosphere – really well done.

Thank you – or ‘Diolch’ as some say in my homeland. I’m just a metaphor whore really, who finds catharsis on the release of life onto keyboard.

Kind of an ironic ending. I sense a kind of lightheartedness in this. Nice one, J.
