neonlight on porcelain bowls
a busy district lined with dopeboys
making money swirl, and worlds change
just like a neonlight night
in downtown roppongi
what's a pretty face for,
a grace from god, if not for
making cash clink, and nights long
just like a screaming cinderella
in downtown roppongi
it doesn't matter it's all a fake
a make-uped reality flying high
making corruption legal, and virtue sin
just like in a B porn movie shot
in downtown roppongi
oh the tales that face could tell
a tale of rape and lethal injections
making a nice bedtime story, and listen carefully now
just like you did as a kid dreaming
in downtown roppongi
however bad it got, she had
a love (in a B porn movie) neverending
making her choke from the pleasure, and sing
just like the rest of the whinos out
in downtown roppongi
so left with a bun and a broken oven
a cinderella with a shattered glass-shoe
making amends, and confessing her soul
just like any good s/m playmate angel
in downtown roppongi
she sold the bun and got some fine cash
a last trip to over the heroi(n)c rainbow
making her only think happy thoughts, and take off
just like the perfect ending
in downtown roppongi

jag tappade orden.. tagande och vivid. sorgset samtidigt som man kan smila emellanåt. två sidor av allt.
jag kan inte förklara, men det är fint.
gillar verkligen slutet o "a last trip to over the heroi(n)c rainbow"
why a last trip?
Great O! :)
för att hon ville dö? :p
heroin överdos
efter att ha blivit lämnad av sin enda kärlek och sålt sin bebis kan hon inte ha mått så bra...
Håller med stina.. väldigt vivid. Man får verkligen upp en bild i huvudet. Jag gillar hur du koncentrerar dig på detaljerna och beskriver en bild med hjälp av det. Good job :)
I really enjoy your style of writing, O, it feels so full of life. A buzy, kind of dystopic picture of Japan.
I like that everyone has so different poetic styles (though most are depressing, true IB spirit). Hope we can inspire even more people to write, everyone does need that CAS =D
yes! and thankyou! =D and you post something David! =D
"a cinderella with a shattered glass-shoe"
That was really, really nice! I really liked how this told a story, the last stanza linked back to the rest really well and was very sad, and very well written!
