that's new.
that fails. that makes mistakes. give me poetry that you don't know what in the world you need to name it. give me poetry that bleeds from the eyes and shouts at the world. give me poetry that stands naked and beaten, with its back against the wall, still screaming I AM NOW! —John Yamrus www.johnyamrus.com

To sit down & write
A book of poetry Keep in mind For most The process & End result is like Giving your heart To a beautiful Spanish whore And getting a job In a west Texas Slaughterhouse Where you give Your soul away Trying to support her Many bad habits Only to find Years from now When you're an old man Half drunk & mad From the scent Of fresh blood That's taken up residence In your nose From having worked A lifetime On the killing floor Where you spent Hours every day Cutting the jugular Of memories To bleed them dry She's taken Everything you own And in return left you With a rejection letter Describing all the virtues You'll never possess After which you Shove a shotgun In your mouth & Paint the ceiling A new shade of Hemingway Which in all likelihood Will be the only poetic Thing you accomplished —James Decay A writer doesn’t need talent
a writer doesn’t need fame a writer doesn’t need money a writer doesn’t need beautiful women, all that stuff has already crippled the world we live in with all the talented famous rich attractive fools that we look to as role models-- that do nothing but move our society closer to extinction: no a writer needs none of that crap; what a writer needs is the ability to look beyond the shortcomings of the world they were born into: and the heart and courage to do something about it with their words. —Brenton Dean Booth brentonbooth.weebly.com i've always
felt the function of poetry was to delay suicide that poems had to be simple straight talk for instance, like what you'd say to someone from an open window while they are on the ledge ten stories up from pavement anything else, according to this definition, is equivalent to pushing the fucker off —Rob Plath www.robplath.com  Poem by Wolfgang Carstens.
