Love Poems, Hate Poems

Thirty-six poems composed over seventeen years, spinning tales of teenage angst, love, lust, bitterness, joy, and regret. An examination of a life through the lens of an unreliable narrator, there and back again and all places between. Coffee shop: Microphone Stand, Barstool, Bongos Any real-gone daddy worth his salt In rolled tea and hand jive knows that A good poet paints a thick picture With his words, He makes you horny as he Describes the softness of his lover’s lips, Or your eyes sting and well with clear wet tears As he describes the simple elegance Of one red rose Or sunlight on an upturned face. A good poem is like good advice: plain, short and Sweet, simple, like common sense.
