Unfiltered refusal
You want that filter...
The one that's gone,back in place?
You want this intensity,buried.
You want it outta' your face?
Not a chance,princess.
I'm not hangin' kisses on boots,anymore.
You threaten me?
There's the door.
I don't want you gone,
I just want you out of my way.
Don't step in front of a train,
barreling down...
Spittin' smoke,and flame.
That's a good way to get hurt.
You can't blame the train.
That's just how they work.
Stand aside.
Enjoy being spectator for awhile.
I've spun my wheels for so long.
It's time to start gathering miles.

Good work. We weren't born to be hamsters in a cage. Been there done that and sent my t-shirts to charity.
Because you have asked for honest critique, again, the form disrupts the flow of the piece. Not that there
are any conclusive rules to form or writing that can't be broken, it's important to know them so you know
HOW to break them. I don't know what you're writing on - a phone, perhaps? Maybe my screen is off.

Heehee..
I'm so glad you enjoyed.. I think my style is going to drive you crazy,though... Lol!
I just ain't lookin' to change.
It's me...on a plate.
All art is.
I just never cared for definitions..or rules.
Again,so glad you enjoyed.

Okay! You just said you needed an editor in your former answer!
I personally don't think it's your style. I don't think you've developed your style yet.
I think that's just happening. Anyway, this isn't about you. I'm not seeing you;
I'm seeing the poem. Poetry becomes its own entity once born from a poet.
It grows up, walks the streets in a nomadic state, finding shelter in every heart
that reads. Some kick it out for no want or room; others take it in for admiration
or love, feed it, help it grow. Either way, it's made an impact.
What I see is how much more powerfully effective it can become without all the
road blocks of form and punctuation. I see you like Bukowski. He is one of my
poetry gods. If you like Bukowski, then you've read Bukowski enough to know
he knew how to break the rules, and did it well.
Welcome to DUP, where sometimes our answers are just as raw as the poems
posted.

I love it,thank you so much.
I agree completely. I recently started this dream back up. I'm just blurtin out the stuff spontaneously, as inspiration occurs. Not really considering form,or approach. Just belting it out. But,yeah an editor could really help. Maybe someday. But,for now enjoy the train wreck..lol.
I'm having too much fun with it to adjust,although I do very much value the input.

Keep going; the content is fantastic. Don't stop for form or broken tracks. Plow through them. When your season of spontaneity has past, you will have time for edits.

We're all in the same boat rowing toward our island with words.
You're very welcome.
