Oh, Fix it please.
This is the new
Born to succeed
Editing it as we speak
Dark Creature of habit..
Words that scream
Front page, it seems
Listen to me
Bold type
Not backing off, right..
Invisible pen
Leaks and leaks
Onto the flat white
Mysterious.. as it can be
A black, an orange, a square piece
All but a note that sticks
To the cold but dreaded
Cover that crime scene…
With all my blessed ink..
This is my chapter.. on a roll
Nothing will be forgotten
Truly satisfying, call it my written masterpiece
With love from the deepest of oceans
A solid Blue, it’s all for you.

Always leading right up to…? Nicely done.🌼
Thanks. It means a lot.
You must have got hooked, judging by your curiosity. x
I think Rosie C., this journalist’s pen is filled with blood which leaves dark red blotches across the page, and makes the paper sticky with dread. What I think is even more terrifying is that my weird imagination has you smiling, then laughing, as the last word drops and you place the “X’.
While you use the photo from “Silence of the Lambs” to frame this poem, I was also reminded of the ‘journalist” from “Interview With the Vampire” (Ann Rice’s book, not the Cruise movie). Lestat, now there was a bloodsucker for ya!! LOL ;0)
I hope I didn’t tread too heavily wandering in your poem Rosie, it was a delight to read.

Hi Curt,
Thank you for reading this piece. You have a vivid imagination, rather than a weird one. I can see myself smiling, but I often chuckle rather than full on laughter.
The Silence of lambs photo is a symbol of my criminology background coming into play. I had to closely study that film a lot during my university degree.
I’ve never watched the Interview with a Vampire but I have seen certain clips of it online. I prefer a tv series called True Blood, the first season really got me hooked.
Thanks again for your visit on my piece.
Powerfully penned, Rosie. Excellent write with amazing depth and lots of layers my friend. You truly know how to paint a picture. Nicely done. Appreciate you.

Wowzers! This shook me yummy. It’s pert’near remarkable.
It’s great to hear from you.
Thank you for reading and taking it all in. x
There’s a restless ink-stained energy here—like you’re chasing the truth across the page before it slips away.
I like the grit in the process… messy, obsessive, but real enough to leave a mark that won’t wash out.
