... Table for One - Rebirth and Redux
I went into the restaurant
Requested a booth for one
I'll be here for awhile I said
Flipped the owner a $20
He set me up with a great table
My afternoon began with this write
Even in good company
The best days are a float
Weaving in and out of people traffic
I need dialog and can be open
Yet writing verse is my voice
Somber and reflective at twilight
Quiet and ominous at dusk
Keep the chemicals away from me
I've danced and twisted fate
Piecing myself back together again
Going it alone
All I know

Those last five lines are like looking in a mirror…
Keep posting pics of those lips and you won’t be alone for long. My God, PS. You should take out insurance on those - V-A-L-U-L-A-B-L-E.

Those lips have done some wild things.
Sometimes I hang out with Mick Jagger.
We compare notes.
You’re too kind Mary
Appreciate
Thx

That is very good. Can hear dishes clanging and silverware scraping. What a place to write I bet.

The atmosphere and description you created is stellar. Real, live and in your face. (well at least in your chin & lips!!!) Great write!

Use your best attributes as it has been said..
So those are mine
My wife dubbed me as a loner with a boner when we first met.
Not much has changed
Thanks Keith

"Somber and reflective at twilight

This resonates with me. Well said.

We New Yorkers are like that I think.
After the mad rush of the day we seek some tranquility before the next adventure in vibe and energy ...
Thanks Fia

Nice one, PS. Sometimes poets have a tendency to talk in the written words better.

I'm always talking
I was quiet until my mid teens and then found a voice. Some people wish I would would clam up buy that's not going to happen.
Pen and paper and electric delivery

To just sit and write in the theater of a table for one. Sounds perfect. Great vibe. Yo.

"Somber and reflective at twilight
Quiet and ominous at dusk" > gotta love those times.
At night the creative juices seem to flow best here. Never wrote in a restaurant or bar, probably way too much distractions and stimuli for me, though it sounds romantic in a weird way. Great piece, PoetSpeak.

I've always got a notebook with me for work purposes so in the beginning of my writing journey that's how I wrote poems. All that hustle and bustle inside the restaurant brought some writable thoughts. Soon after the phone and tablet took the place of pen and paper...

I could almost see the images, the booth, the drink, the paper and pen (or whatever writing device).
