In "Bark Too" the poet delves deep into the essence of humanity, laying bare the raw and unvarnished truths of life. These verses are not just poems; they are the barks, growls, whines, and snuggles of the human experience. Just as a dog barks to capture your attention and growls in the face of danger, these poems demand your attention, whether they make you pause and reflect or rush to your fridge for a cucumber (we leave that up to your imagination). This collection is a visceral exploration of our shared human experiences and emotions. It's about the laughter and the tears, the joys and the sorrows, and the complex tapestry of our lives. "Bark Too" is a poetic journey that invites you to embrace the truth, unfiltered and unapologetic. So, take a chance, breeze through the samples, and immerse yourself in the symphony of words that make up our humanity. Woof! Excerpts: After the Club Empty-handed, empty-hearted, empty pocketed you go home Where is the love Where is the love your heart sings a sad sad song You drank and acted a fool, laughed when you wanted to cry Kept up appearances in the Ed Hardy rags you procured from Costco You flashed change, chain and eyes. One paid attention then Discounted your pennies and cheap gold-filled dreams You didn't matter naked or clothed in his eyes Your change and chains ain't enough To warm your bed. Young Bones maybe it's because you haven't traveled the path littered with broken glass and stepped over carcasses of despair, maybe it's because your eyes shine bright with moon dreams and maybe it's the silly things like running naked through parks and mooning old farmers riding ancient mechanical mules, dancing until your skin turns liquid, or doing that "flip" thing with your hair curled like fingers... I don't know... maybe it's just you calling me "poppi" that makes me love you, young bones. |
