Invitation to a Cocktail Waitress

Another poem poked at and fiddled with. Imagine it read in TW's bar-room growl while he smokes a cigarette. Image made by me at canva.com a collage of PD images

Totentanz

image is PD source wiki commons. Now that Netanyahu is intent on his own Crime of the Century. I thought I'd put all my Guignol, Teutonic Mediaeval, Holocaust, Apocalyptic (basically anything that mentions Totentanz) in the same collection. Don't wait up, it may take some time.

Mono Log

First of all, let's call it prosetry. Well, I've been playing with this one for well over 10 years. My normal mode of working is give the keyboard a bash and then dash.

I've spotted two typos.

You have "coffee's" vice "coffees" at line 2.

You have "I look like my mother had been conversing". Do you mean "...

Marvellous.

This reminds me of the kitchen sink drama* so prevalent in British film, TV and stage drama in the 60s. The narrative voice is utterly convincing. The milieu, the circumstances of the narrator and the locale are all outwith my life experiences,...

I think my imaginary Bert's attitude is acceptable. A black armband and do what you would normally do. Maybe turn on the TV for the actual funeral, if you're not emptying bins, or "a dinner lady or a steelworker".  (Look that up, see why it's...

I do love this one. Lots to admire here.

"His face is the waves of shipwreck
