poetry that makes you smile

in a sad kinda truth way …

Church Street #25

A little drunk man

screamed several times

into the night,

I need a woman!

After a brief pause

the night

screamed back,

So do I!

Exploring more of Hallid’s blog i found more great writing … a lovely sense of humour through those sad truths that is everyday life.

“The Artist is a luxury”provides a bigger bite of words than some of the shorter, pithy ones. Nicely crafted words that create an environment filled with tension, colour and personalities (just like a painting).  I love the wrap-up.

“Church Street #23″ is hilarious …

Church Street #22 is so interesting … an exploration of words that run horizontally for a bit and then move down the page for meaning … and with each of Hallid’s pieces the punchline is very satisfying.

Church Street #22

The drunk raged at the three brats

with dragon’s breath knights on a crusade

punching

kicking

laughing

the kids traffic slowed

toyed some faces smiled

with others curtsied

him and fled

spinning him around

until he collapsed in the middle of the street.

A police van came along carried the dragon back to his cage.

In moving down his blog i notice the pictures…. so interesting … little collages filled with imagery and little stories of their own.  I shall return to explore.
