HANGOVER (updated)
It ain't fair that you're still on my mind
It ain't fair, though you don't try
Damn! Damn! Damn!...here you are again
I am what I am, and I ain't what I ain't…
And though I've put you down in music and I've put you down in paint
You know I've never really put you down at all
And though the words and music seem to be a little quaint,
It's rock 'n' roll, it's rock 'n' roll…

"a rhymester's life" by @Blue-eyed Bolla
"Enjoyed this little tongue-in-cheek piece about the woes of a poet whose muse seems to have left him. The comparisons you used made me smile. If i had a nit, it would be that SOME of the rhyme felt a little forced to my…" -

"everything's gone" by @fluffykona10
"This is a very dark piece overall, but i loved it. Read through it a couple of times. There is some amazing imagery here, such as in the lines: and your dreams of a better world come crashing back to a dying earth fille…" -

"Sensory Desperation" by @Johnny Two Birds
"Very visceral. Grabbed my attention from the opening lines: Taste like a smell, Sight like a sound... There is a sense of desperation... a blinding light of longing that I sense as i read this. Beautifully crafted!" -

"This one is a "textural tone" poem, in the sense that it needs to be RECITED to better understand the intended rhythm and texture of the piece." -
