Always wanted to say: /'/Make mine a scotch on the rocks, Mac. Set /'/em up . Joe. Give me one for ma baby, and one more for the road./'/ But, that is from civvy street, not where bullets fly. x

I really like this conversational style...
I also like how one might not perceive
the angle or exactly what it means ( i confess, i do not)
you put it under the category of friendship, and it made me think of someone I used to help via phone who was from Egypt and said he was an ex fighter pilot
He was an old man and I was helping him with his diabetes test kit and he thanked me by sending me a medal he used to wear on his uniform.

we are all about some place, perhaps where we come from, or where our people, or culture comes from, or perhaps a place we visited once that stays with us forever.
so i truly enjoyed how you style this as a bar scene
or conversational piece.
then, there/'/s...
"Now, don/'/t you go and weep."
this mixed with the style of the poem that
already contained clever prose, stuck.

kind of like hemingway would write it
standing up I kind of think.

Peace!

You remind me of Rakerman on here.

While every care is taken to ensure the general sites content is family safe, our moderators cannot be in all places; all the time.

Parents also please ensure that you supervise your children well when they are on the internet; regardless of what a site says about being, or being considered, child-safe.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. Â©
