There was a wicked man
who had a wicked cock…

But I’m a wicked girl
who wants to rock your world

Nice rhythm ‘n flow, Fia 🎶

With a Poe-esque like ambiience, you’ve creatively darkened the page with both spot-on and soft rhymes, spilt blood-shivering imagery … ever-so pleasing to the poet’s ear and mind’s-eye.

Your perfect title and artwork choices set the stage well for what’s to come, and that classic intro couplet surely awakens even the most passive reader’s interest.

“Once Upon a Midnight sky
A rendezvous between you and I”

Good stuff, Lady-Poet …
you’re such a pleasure to share with! ⁓ Rascal🖌

Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Mary. So glad you connected with the lyrics my friend. You wouldn’t be the first that felt that way, my own mother wanted to slap him upside the head a couple of times. lol. Appreciate you.

Damian

Superb work.

Reminds me of a poem I wrote around the whole invasion of iraq. The poem is lost to me, but I remember some of the lines were.

“you can go ahead and die for your country
I value my life over everything
and if I’m gonna die
it’s not gonna be me wasted away
for a bunch of fucking creeps”

This poem has fire and I love that.

I’m gonna say I would love to throw a shoe at Joey G. If Adira doesn’t get him with her boot first. Ironically, I know a lot of musicians. All young & vibrant…& all in Nebraska. It would be amazing to see your words given the credit & voice they deserve. My partner wanted me to do songwriting for musicians but I shut it down because I “only write poetry.” 🤦‍♀️ I would write with you any day though. And I’m keeping my fingers crossed that your words are properly heard, my friend

Passionately penned, Brenda. Incredible write my friend. Appreciate you.

Damian

thank you beautiful Mary for such lovely comment 💕

Now this is the thunder I like…

Powerfully penned, Brenda. Monroe, knew some secrets for sure. So many people that had ties to Kennedy got killed. Even Mafia bosses. Fantastic write my friend. Appreciate you.
