The Madrid Pub Storytellers Club – “My Poem”

My Poem More and more each day I see, You're becoming a poem to me. Arm in arm we walk around, A happier couple cannot be found. One by one our friends do sigh, With joy or envy, some do cry. Minute by minute with you is love, Your caring heart is like heaven above. … Continue reading The Madrid Pub Storytellers Club – “My Poem”

The Madrid Pub Storytellers Club – “Unique”

Preamble: My notes indicate that on this evening, following some joyous laughter, we challenged each other to bastardize tribute the great poem "Trees" by Joyce Kilmer. Here's my attempt. Unique It would be too obvious to compare you to a flower, Though to me, you are as beautiful and sweet. It would be too simple to … Continue reading The Madrid Pub Storytellers Club – “Unique”

The Madrid Pub Storytellers Club – Flies

Flies Flies crawl over my table and rain-soaked jacket Dismal, dirty bugs Dropping shit and disease on everything They crawl closer to me Proboscis probing As if they want proof, I'm writing about them only I imagine them as great, opportunistic hunters, And I, the only prey of opportunity All this far more romantic a notion than that … Continue reading The Madrid Pub Storytellers Club – Flies

Others lovelies enter the room, Searching for seats. Why do the pretty ones always have their backs to the room? Maybe it's my imagination Or my stare, … Continue reading The Madrid Pub Storytellers Club – “Untitled”

The Madrid Pub Storytellers Club – Love Is Lost

Love Is Lost Across the chasm of misunderstandings Buried under the rubble of events One believes love is lost. Is it faith or fear that prevents me from looking there? Or should I question the air? Is there better for me? Or often a whatever and what's next? A struggle with blame Fighting, ignoring, not wanting to … Continue reading The Madrid Pub Storytellers Club – Love Is Lost
