47 Monkeys

Hi Tim!

Dude - I was unsure about posting. LOL
Thanks for the encouragement. I soo need it
when I get out of my comfort zone. Gotta keep this one around.
I think it would make a great horror film if I ever decide to
write one. LOL

Thanks for the RL love buddy and your encouraging comment!!!
Woop Woop

Nice dark diversion... a legendary haunt feel to it... well done my dear...

Hi LilD

Thank you. I wanted to create something new and original like
a heavy curse hanging on your back. Made me think of monkeys. LOL
Looking at some Aztec ruins in Mexico for some inspiration.

Thanks for the RL and commenting amiga:)

Karma is good and bad.  Keep on writing.

Hi Sisco,

Yes - this is true. It comes when it comes.
Good and bad.

thanks for commenting amigo:)

Hahaha, look at Little Dark You, we love it. It's like you can hear conk shells and drum beats through out. Tight One

Hi Me.

Haha. Just trying some different stuff.
It's fun getting in touch with darker elements
and really diving into it. God will still love me. LOL

Thanks for commenting amigo.

Dark looks good on you Pink Maiden

BIG LIKE

Hi PS

Well you would know about rules
wouldn't you. LOL
Was wanting the tails (caught my tale typo!!!) to seem like rope.
Wonder where I got that idea. LOL huummmm??
Ughh. Don't know if it looks good but I'm going for it. LOL

thanks for the RL and commenting.
woop woop!!

Not exactly on subject, but relevant to this write of yours;

When two foreigners that don't speak the same language meet, there is a need for a translator.  And hopefully that translator knows how and when to temper the dialog, and not translate everything verbatim.  It can literally prevent war.
They speak three languages.  Two spoken and one of insight.  

"Insidious weight" -awesome add!  I can't help but think of a pale, bloated tourist smirking at the "poor natives".  Who at any time, could rip their heads off and take their hot dog.  Civilized world; Gain things, lose wisdom.

Fortunately, writers protect the ignorant of the world.  Good to see you doing your part!  

Hey Styx,

So true. Reading between the lines can be tricky.
Preventing a war should always come first.
Translating isn't always so cut and dry. Talk about
pressure. LOL
My mom was a translator at school - a parent liaison.
She had to get involved translating in Spanish. She would come home emotionally exhausted and a lot of stuff she couldn't repeat.
Took a toll on her mentally. Finally retired but she did help a lot of people in our school.

Thanks for your snaps on this write. Might rearrange a few lines here and there. Still playing with it.

hahaha  - Off with their heads!!  Roll them down the temple!!!
Wait - save the hot dog for dinner!!
Too funny

Thanks for the RL and commenting:)

Dark and compelling!  A thought provoking read!  (BTW, have you cut your hair?  It suits you!)   :-)

Hey PW,

Thank you. Trying out different subject matter.
A little darker for me but it's pretty fun. Just going where the mind
takes you in writing. Never know where you will end up til you're finished.

No I didn't cut my hair. LOL
I have it in a bun.
When younger though - I used to grow it our and donate to
Locks of Love all the time. My hair grows pretty fast.

Thanks for stopping by and commenting:)

I thought you may have been talking about COVID for a while & then it seemed to drift towards ancient Mexico (however did they lose so much land, right?). May you find the strength! The art of the Aztecs looks fantastic, btw!

Hey Billy:)

It's the month of Halloween and trying out darker material for
a moment. Just expanding in my writing for a minute. LOL
Love all of that Aztec stuff. All of the ruins - which I'm sure
have a lot of ghosts hanging around. heheheh
Just thought I would try and create a curse or two.
No biggie. LOL

Thanks for stopping by commenting amigo

We...we must, I mean you must show me around some of these art galleries one day. Someone needs to explain it all to me, lol. Bring everyone! ;-) Yep, it's Halloween soon. Getting bigger in the UK every year too!

Austin has really great art galleries.
Haven't been in a while though.
When I do I will snap some pics and
send you some. LOL

Ok, that'd be great. I went to Austin once but only to the Greyhound terminal. I stayed overnight at the hotel opposite, The Ramada, for one night only.

i love watching you stretch yourself

Hey James:)

Well I'm glad you enjoyed amigo. LOL

Thanks for stopping by
and encouraging my stretching.

You made my list. Keep em comin!  Im nobody by the way, so my list doesnt mean shit. <3

Well, it means something to me:)

And thanks for commenting!!

Youre welcome. <3

I'm really digging the hauntingly creepy almost horror type feel. I am a huge horror fan and love the way you get the hair on the back of my neck to stand up a bit.... A telltale sign of really cool and immersive written eeriness!

Fantastic ink, A  
🙊  
🥀🖤🥀

Awhh - I'm smiling a huge horrific smile right now. haha
Just trying out different things from my normal
happy happy joy joy. LOL

Love that I made you feel something - best compliment ever when
it comes to my writing.
Thanks for the RL and commenting amiga:)

Wow, those are surely some pretty scary monkeys! This great poem could work as a representation of an obsession, or maybe mental illness. It's fantastic even if I'm way off. Well done!

Mundus

Hey Mundus:)

Monkeys are kinda creepy to me. LOL
Obsession and metal illness go hand in hand don't ya think?
Was trying to create my own curse in a way. Conjuring
up some monkey business. hahaha

Thanks for checking this out amigo:)

Hi Adelphine!

Well, the curse worked! I've always thought of monkeys as funny animals, not the ones in your poem, though, those are definitely creepy LOL!

Mundus

When you go in new and uncharted direction the miracle of dark poetry is born like a star deep in the galaxy. You write like an artist whose brush takes the reader into exquisitely different realms like the fire of the big bang when all we know came into being. There is nothing more invigorating than following you into these dark alleys of art and poetry. I am thrilled by what you find.

Hi John,

It was Halloween and wanted to write about curses. Right now
there is so much unoriginal content in the media. How many Halloween remakes can you make? Or Friday the 13th?
Wanted to try something different and thought of monkeys
and curses.
Thanks for checking this out and the RL buddy!!
