Thanks Adam for being my pal. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/SneakyGuy/546688/ It's in a style called pantoum. pantoums are really alot of fun, and it amazes me how well they flow together in the end. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/SneakyGuy/541051/ I had been listening to the U2 song "Bad" at the time i wrote this. It's such a beautiful song, but it's about heroine addiction. I wanted a poem like that. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/SneakyGuy/540976/ When i wrote this, my primary focus was on the dialouge. I wanted it to sound natural, to sound like two average joes talking. I useually dont write about everyday settings like I do here. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/SneakyGuy/540605/ The image is a lone surrvivor of a war. i had been studying WWI at the time i wrote this, and the images of of a bombed out, desecrated europe stood out in my mind. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/SneakyGuy/540467/
