WELCOME

This is my blog (now there is a surprise!). I will be sticking in it poetry, prose, random musings, things that take my fancy and more than likely lots of pictures of cats. I hope you find something to amuse and/or interest you here.

Accept the Picture Prompt Challenge!

In response to: Fee Easton & Poetry Challenge

 

 
You call me addict,
Shun me, shame me, hound me.
Under interdict
You have tied and bound me.
One thing you predict
That my death has found me.

You took my money
Manufacturers won,
Pictures like honey
A subtle trap they spun,
Isn’t it funny?
Holding this smoking gun.

Now you laugh at me
When I stand in the rain
Smoking desperately
Nicotine craving brain
Leading fatally
To death’s dark last domain.

Freedom beckons now
The end is in my sight
For I know just how
I will spend my last night
For you must allow
There’s no point in more fight.

Thanks to Fee Easton for this challenging image.

  4. Haunting especially because she foresees the end, and it seems around the corner. '
    "Now you laugh at me
    When I stand in the rain"
    Great lines to imagine; also like the lines of manufacturers holding smoking guns. Fine poem
