And the poem doesn’t need to be pretty, you know.
my venom grows
every night, every morning
chokevine murderthoughts
thorn and strangle me:
the freedom to be kind, to forgive
to live and let live
all flayed away
I am a criminal in my own mind
I deserve my chains
Anthropomorphizing your research subjects are you?
@numerobis: I think Mike Pence is actually the one being anthropomorphized here.
Charles Bukowski

a poem expresses in words feelings and places and times and the experience of the poet
C.S.E. Cooney is a true voice boldly speaking

Dear Unglefrogy, could you please leave out the unglefrogy at the end of each unglefrogy contribution? They have unglefrogy at the top, so there is no need to unglefrogy another unclefrogy at the bottom.
unclefrogyI apologize for the g–c mixup. I keep hearing a voiced glottal occlusive when reading “un?le frogy”.

Everyone in the world should read that ,and weep .The snatch snatcher praising armed moronic cretins
who have invaded The Michigan State House ,in any other Country they would have been regarded as traitors .
If they had been black instead of white ,i bet most of them would now be dead .
America ,you are well and truly fucked
Seen today:
A mob of the MAGA persuasion.
Conducted a statehouse invasion.
Though heavily armed,
They departed unharmed,
And that’s how you know they’re caucasian.
Someone is depressed, though it’s poorly expressed.
