bullets never get lonely

I love the imagery, the 40s and Bette Davis eyes. I don't know, sir, but you've got my weaknesses on your poems spot on recently. Perhaps just add Jimmy Dean? ;) This is so beautiful...

Chills

beat up from the grime & the crime on the streets.
pursued between jobs by a scandalous muse; he
holsters his Beretta & picks up a ball point, to deal
in hard-boiled poetics. conjures up an ode to love,
his beautiful, heartless mistress, written on the back
of an unpaid bill…

Classic only you could pen, I love this good god your talented man!

You changed Your delivery for this Write (rhythm-style-wise I mean)
a rolling along Pen-this captures the energy perfect for movie-style setting
Excellence John-This was Nitrate stock eh? :)

Love the tone of this. Classic, macho, undertones of humour that cut though the broodiness of it (In classic Bogart style). This piece made me smile with the love of old b&w's.

classic! as always u paint such pretty pictures...

I really enjoyed this read. The visuals took me right to the outside of an old office window where I stood watching the character at his desk, in the fedora with his gun holster and pen as the film noir voice told more of the story..
Made me feel like a bit of Hitchcock..as always, a wonderful work
Thanks

Ah, JohnFeddeler, luv :-* ~

You make me want to work with you, luv... ;-*

Sometimes, I want to read what you write... Your mood strikes me so. :-*

You're always good for a black and white detour into the past. The perfect 'poem noir', written in a captivating way revealing memories of the dusty past, elegantly phrased, as always.

you always manage to capture a certain "feel" with eloquent expertise... this flowed so smoothly!! Well Done John :)

Dis won iz sueper john

whenever i read you poems JF, you take me on a journey....
i love it....don't ever stop.... :)

“she walked into my office on a pair o’ legs
that could burn down Hitler’s heart.”

well good lord, Mister Feddeler... like stepping into one of those TCM movies i love so much

I like the subtle, dark tones in this piece. Enjoyed!

Marvelous shimmers of cold steel in the Moonlight. He never turns down soft shoulder's even when he know the fire burns too hot for lingering in its wake. Nostalgic Noir. I've got one coming soon. :)

I love how your writing will take you right into another era. Always lovely imagery :)... You consistently keep building it up too. Love it.

Enjoyed this immensely takes you right back to that glamour, intrigue, and life ripe for anything even danger.

Loved this so it's on to my reading list.

"Sin City" would be so honored.  This piece would have been an excellent entry to Pinstripe Fedora but they are no longer around.  I'll keep an eye out for you, John.  Enjoyed!  xo, Devlin.

I love the imagery

Ohhh, look at that...
Such a fine work of noir;
Bette Davis eyes, dame with the long legs, and love poems
on the back of an unpaid bill.
Damn that's good...
