One Single Impression - passioante

Vincent Van Gogh’s severed ear
listens to the cry to arm
Holy Wars and unholy ones;
the warlock Charlie Sheen
with his winning tiger’s blood,
waking up in an unknown bed,
not waking up at all;
children without parents
doing their own thing, disconnect;
Freud’s ID lit up like a cigar
put out on a prisoner’s arm;
blowing up people for God
in the certainty of belief,
beyond all reason, come passion,
burning, all Hell’s broken loose
in the world of wanting, lust.




Write a poem on this week’s theme.







Merry Meet and Blessed Be

  3. Nessa, I like your PASSION! You did a nice take on our word.
    Also your pi-ku's were clever. It was a neat idea leaving them with the OSI comments.
    Thanks too, for peeking in on mine.

  4. I cannot add to what's already been said except to maybe say that you have made a tremendous statement of tantamount importance in your choice of words for this prose. Standing O.

  5. That children's disconnect thing gets to me.

  6. Good fun, glad to see you back.
    I, by the way, am the living embodiment of the blurry line between genius and mental illness. Though I likely exude more of the latter than the former.
