Poet's Perspective

Keepin it real

I'm a redneck with a smartphone
So no I don't bleed ink
Cut myself when i was shaving
Blood poured into the sink

I write because I think it's fun
A fine way to unwind
Before I go to pound the weights
or tap my girl's behind

There is no writer in my soul
All that's just so Cliched
and if you truly feel that way
you need to go get laid

And though hot sex cures everything
From beauty to the beast
There are those who dive for cover
when libido is unleashed

Perhaps erotica is your flair
and you can do this trick
Write your way to orgasm
That would be just sick

Climax allover hot stanzas
With keys greasy and worn
It would bring another meaning
to good old cyber porn

So writing's in your heart and soul
and ink flows through your veins
Learn to keep it in perspective
or else you'll go insane

I love the poetic yet reverent way you swung a 2x4 at the lost in the morose poetic nerd. I think poetry is a beautiful gift but I also see it as a expression and not a butterfly emotional soul trip. LOL You are a poet and a redneck! Where they meet is your poetic voice! I am writing way to deep! Bottom line is: Man keep cracking me up!

Thank you Eddie

That is a really fun poem to read. It is amazing how you are able to convey that humor in a poem that is so frank. It is quite creative, and keep it up. I like this style, and I look forward to more.

Thank you sara

An interesting, unique, and humorously delivered message, Mark. Everyone has different feelings about writing, and yours are certainly special. You deliver this idea in a very fluid and direct way, and I like it. Well done

[Baby Ricochet]

Yes I'm short bus special alright. Thank you Will

I am calling bullshit on you not having a writer in your soul. You prove you do every time you write something and you do it very well. (And even improve!) The thing is that you are more of a writer than the repulsive poets who spew pseudo-deep declarations and you know that. Nice reminder at the end.
Sex makes me paint pictures, though, just saying...
Reading your stuff pleases me, because it really is a breath of fresh air. There are all sorts of writers, but I enjoy your touch of manliness. Thank god you don't wear cardigans and you are actually a dude, not some wussy wispy thing.
I like this poem, you are so mean. I like that you are mean!

[Baby Ricochet]

Lol! Thank you Ees. It's good to hear from you.

You are a hoot, Mark. You have your unique way with words. There is talent in all forms of writing whether it elicits a laugh or gets the juices flowing. Your perspective is your own, but you do a great job of presenting it too.

[Baby Ricochet]

Thank you Sarah

I enjoyed this, as I completely agree that animalistically copulating is the highest form of art, and indeed the meaning of life. Verily, they should proscribe it at pharmacies to cure that base and cliche desire to produce 'art', which we all know doesn't exist.
Excellent poem my friend, you hit it right on the nose. Everyone just needs to get laid, that is the highest form of art and the ultimate expression, for if baboons do it, it must be transcendent.

[Baby Ricochet]

That's for sure. Thank you Sam

[SquinklaPsyOps]

This part is priceless "It would bring another meaning to good old cyber porn"

[Baby Ricochet]

Thank you ops

[Inda]

I agree with Jacob on this one, you are a fine writer, but i get what you mean, it is a talent not a gift.

[Baby Ricochet]

Thank you inda

[jacob erin-cilberto]

as much as you refuse to admit, you are a writer and a damn smart one...

and ink flows through your veins...

and flows, and flows.

[Baby Ricochet]

Lol! Thank you Jacob

too late! already gone, Rico. Well not really - I'm just a dork with a PC and a bad attitude but this poem made me nod and smile. I agree with blue. You're deep and I admire that - but you're also light and that is just as amazing.

[Baby Ricochet]

Thank you TL
