More Poetry Reviews

Go figure, I released a poetry book 5 years ago (Seasons Come, People Grow), have been trying to spread word about that and my most recent books (The Kind-Hearted Smartass and The Kind-Hearted Smart Aleck) and the former has drawn more attention than the latter. In any case, I've received quite a number of positive reviews in the past couple days:

"A Hollywood Fantasy"

A Hollywood fantasy,
How I wish it were true,
Instead I'm stuck in reality,
Not knowing what to do.

Commentator: "LOVE this part. This one rocks. Like this poem. Wonderful, amazing and beautiful."


"A Hypnotic State"

Uncertain if I'm dreaming,
Or am wide awake,
If she's real or a figment of my imagination,
As I remain in a hypnotic state.

Commentator: "Love this part. This is wonderful and beautiful."


"The Shield"

Protection from ignorance and lies,
Protection from dishonesty and bitterness,
Protection from insults and pain,
Protection from the breaking of my heart,

Commentator: "I know part of this feeling here. This is so amazing. I like these writes I'm reading."


"A Rat in a Cage"

I hit the bar repeatedly,
Get fed bits and pieces at a time,
Until I get sore and tired,
And don't have any more stamina left inside,

Commentator: "Love this part. This is wonderful."


"Alien"

Alien are my surroundings,
Alien are the faces,
Constant tests and experiments,
Constant adaptations and changes.

Commentator: "These words are amazing. I love this."


"One"

Commentator: "I feel that this is the truth. I like this write so much. I love it when the truth is told. So amazingly done!"


"Fantasyland"

Commentator: "I like this write. So nicely written."


"Oblivious to the Obvious"

Commentator: "Oh my. There is such truth in this. Others should read this write. There is a lot in this to realize. Some people will never see. Nice write."


"Puppets"

Commentator: "What a wonderful image this calls forth. 'Our heads and arms dangling'. Freedom from our strings and the people who pull them, such a powerful message. I really enjoyed your poem."

Boycotting jukeboxes because of TouchTunes

I love music and enjoy hitting the bar(s) over the weekend, so naturally, when the mood strikes me, I've never been coy about playing some songs on the jukebox. This past Thursday, a friend of mine turned 50, so several friends of her's, including myself, all met up to celebrate the occasion. At around 9:30, a friend of mine and I both chipped in $5 to play some songs on the jukebox. Four hours and 231 skips later, we gave up on hearing the songs we had selected, and went home knowing we had just wasted $5. This wasn't the first time such a thing had happened to me (and many others), and due to that, I'll be boycotting jukeboxes. Why? The scam known as TouchTunes. You see, here's how the plot typically breaks down. A person (or group of people) downloads the TouchTunes app on his/her phone, consumes one too many adult beverages, and due to this, has less care for spending extra money to hear the songs of their choosing right NOW. That's the thing with TouchTun...

Trump's Lie Tally at the CNN Debate

1) "We had the greatest economy in the history of our country. We had never done so well. Every – everybody was amazed by it. Other countries were copying us." 2) "But the thing we never got the credit for, and we should have, is getting us out of that COVID mess." 3) "The only jobs he created are for illegal immigrants and bounceback jobs; they’re bounced back from the COVID." 4) "Not going to drive them higher. It’s just going to cause countries that have been ripping us off for years, like China and many others, in all fairness to China – it’s going to just force them to pay us a lot of money, reduce our deficit tremendously, and give us a lot of power for other things." (tariffs) 5) "He also said he inherited 9 percent inflation." 6) "No, he inherited almost no inflation and it stayed that way for 14 months. And then it blew up under his leadership, because they spent money like a bunch of people that didn’t know what t...
