Bet with your head, not over it
Neil Anblomi of Italy took a trip to Las Vegas and sent some letters back home in 1996. His letters telling loved ones his tales of American adventure. One letter told them he had a win of $2,500.00 on roulette. Another was about seeing Wayne Newton live, enjoying the performance immensely. In a postcard to his mother, he talked about how exhausting gambling could be, but told her not to worry. "I am sensible, so I won't blow my savings." He told her of his plans to see the Grand Canyon by helicopter and maybe buy a ticket to a magic show. On August 1st, 1996, Anblomi threw himself...

Strip For Me
I got me a lap dance.
Don't need to try,
To get in her pants.
They're gone.
And I'm just there,
For the big and brawn.
Sipping this martini,
Enjoying the porn.
Can't wait for this horny guy,
To come and join.
We'll gamble 'til the light of dawn.
Who gets the dance?
We'll flip a coin.
Ill mind fuck him,
While she gets him on.
He's distracted,
So I know I've won.
Now let's get going.
The sun is out.
Let's do a dance, at your house.
Id love to whip these titties out. ...

Malt Liquor Chiltlins
It's a Southern Black tradition to boil chitlins in a pot between Christmas and New Year's
We clean and let them simmer for damn near 2 days
But my sistah got frightened despite the holiday season
She thought her probation officer was near, so she poured all the alcohol we were sippin’ into the chitlins
Tossed the cans into a neighborhood trash bin
And then, let them marinate during the Bills game
If you eat pork then you know that it soaks in everything
I know the ancestors were pissed
And I was left questioning
Yo, you poured malt liquor...
We clean and let them simmer for damn near 2 days
But my sistah got frightened despite the holiday season
She thought her probation officer was near, so she poured all the alcohol we were sippin’ into the chitlins
Tossed the cans into a neighborhood trash bin
And then, let them marinate during the Bills game
If you eat pork then you know that it soaks in everything

Yo, you poured malt liquor...

August 31st 2019 (Big Camp)
Five days after performing at Hastings Pride
(My first performance on a stage!)
I was then transported to Lincolnshire
For a fabulous Big Camp
In a field surrounded by other fields
Containing sheep, and turnips!
I'd put myself down on an open mic
I was awaiting my turn
And was to follow a strong man act
Which was pretty impressive
But i was thinking, how does a poet follow that?
Whilst waiting, i went to get myself another cider
When i noticed they had something called mead
Never liked honey, but thought 'when in Rome'

Festive Solitude
The holidays were quiet
how it all changed
through the years
empty seats at the dinner table
less laughter
So much emphasis
on one day
And this year
as schedules
and timing dictated
I spent it alone
and survived
But I would be lying
if I said I didn't miss the company
Or those smells of the feast
I never thought as I got older
that connection would be farther away
but it is
and I hope that when it finally happens
it will be about...

A Merry Metal Xmas
Merry Christmas, to all the poets/poetesses here at DU. This year was only the beginning, folks. Seems arriving here has put some wind in the sails of my creative journey. That was my Christmas gift, I received from my fellow writers here at DU. You all helped me rise again like a glorious phoenix. Or some other town in Arizona. lol. What movie did I quote that line from? Anybody? I know who'll take a stab at it, and will probably get it right.

how these Traditions pale…
Ah, the many holiday traditions!
Little Elves & stockings
Trimmings on the tree
Festive yards & friends
Christmas village for kids to see
Dressing fine for Santa pics
then watching Holiday shows
Parades & glittering lights
Wrapping gifts with pretty bows
But
The only one I really long to do
Isn’t about the how or what
It’s all about the Who
I want but one ritual
To unwrap the present of you
how these Traditions pale
Midst longed-for visions of you!

Numb Misery
The drink calls for me
Whispering calming release
The bitter always present
An attempt to hide with sweet
The cravings will not cease
A desire for the turmoil to relent
Her voice, once strong in memory
Fading into my own, holding on
To the honeyed words spoken
Once to be light and feathery
Now to be labored and gone
My spirit feels so broken
Do you know what she would say?
Every holiday when asked
What gift she seeks?
"You" she'd convey
"In that dress" said at last ...

Silent Night, Holy Night
The Eastern Sun Kingdom
Twas Good Cheer
Oh, my King we are getting too old for this
Woman, we are melaninated, and created from the inhale and exhale of His nostrils, we are sacred cosmic dust upon the winds that drift
You still look the utopia of yesteryear, and sexy as Heaven’s twinkling stars
That’s only because you weakened me when I crossed your threshold bearing my presents, and after that night on your sleigh bed, looking back we’ve come so far
Gray haired after all these years, yet still giving humanity its much rewarded...

Ahh.. Cuddling Up To Some Chocolate During The Holidays
Whispers of seduction he plays upon the chorus of my mind
The absence of his love notes, his caresses blanketing in allocated moment of passion
My love, take upon my virginity in the hunger of your need
Look upon my eyes as you ease into, the Milky Way of my soul
Mm... yes, slip deeper into mysteries of my yoni, hold my waist
And make me the night of your desires as heart, minds blend
Bodies contoured in the kaleidoscope of the moment
Let me wear the unrehearsed scent of you
Raw, unchained,...
The absence of his love notes, his caresses blanketing in allocated moment of passion
My love, take upon my virginity in the hunger of your need
Look upon my eyes as you ease into, the Milky Way of my soul
Mm... yes, slip deeper into mysteries of my yoni, hold my waist
And make me the night of your desires as heart, minds blend
Bodies contoured in the kaleidoscope of the moment
Let me wear the unrehearsed scent of you

Loosening the White Knuckled Grip
I should be..
Nah.
I need to...
Who cares.
It's 7 AM! I overslept!
Pfffttt
Ugh! Ruth smashed a cupcake in Gustavo's face at the Christmas party and I didn't do anything about it.
Yawn. He lived.
Why did all my teacher gifts from parents have to be sweets?
Because they're effing good, even the Ferrero Rochers, and yes, I will have another.
How many times have I watched the David Lee Roth Just a Gigolo video since Friday evening?
Who's counting? It's cute and funny and I love...
Nah.

Krampus is coming
Kringle found him on the edge of Hell
This bringer of the last Noel
Enforcer for Father Christmas
Discipline delivered by Krampus
Angels we have heard on high
Das Punisher will come this night
Big and hairy, black as pitch
A serpents young and a wooden switch
He's the lord of coal
Yes he does have a black soul
All the naughty children want to change
Be nice to others, stop the misery and pain
Star if wonder, star of light
There will be no silent night
Krampus, ancient god of Yule ...
