Poem -
Ham Heels
Stay in school kids
Honey glased ham heels
stripped raw stinging flesh
abusive abrasive
work boots
grate like wire mesh
Stiff cardboard overalls
a rigor mortis boiler suit
a persperated saturated
jaundiced look
piercing pain acute
Electric arcs
strip flesh like bark
nostrils lined with
metalic soot
Queasiness uneasiness
radiating from
the gut...
Bone sinew
connective tissue
raw thoughts
botulism
mincemeat
Marinade
in Roja
rinse then
repeat

Wow! I think raw when I read this, your words created the visual lesson! enjoyed.....................Jim
Thank you so much Jim. That was what I was hoping for.
I really appreciate your kind comment - Syd
Whenever you post Syd, your writes are inspiring. This one is so very clever. Kind regard. TFOTS
Thank you for your kind comment Fish. It is only with the kind comments of others that I keep writing (even when my writes were just simple rhymes three years ago).. .and there's nothing wrong with that.. I feel I was taken in and nurtured. I've a few great poets and good people to thank for that.
Your poems are really good. With me it's pot luck. Sometimes I can write...other times the latch is on and stuck in limbo.
Take care - Syd xo
Awww no Fuss Syd, everyone says that the Comos used to be an amazing place filled with heaps of bubbly people who loved to comment and post. The VIPs that I have met seem to say that things have quietened down these days... such a shame
Thanks for saying that though, it means so much, but I could never make the connections you do. Feel like I'm a little self-centred in my writes a bit too much, but I guess that's what happens when you get your inspiration mostly from music...
I always really enjoy your writes and heaps others do too.
Best wishes to you Syd!
TFOTS / Max - Take your pick ;)
90% of my writes are self centred Max. I write whatever I can when I can. You kind of get what you're given with my poetry. My head is like a septic tank...when it's full then the shit flows freely from the overflow spout lol.

Haha, that's a hilarious analogy, your poetry is far from fecal material though XD! Kind regards. Max
Well now, Syd, this is very different to your normal style. Wow! You've stripped the words down to the barest of essentials and it not only works but it makes this poem all the stronger for it. Great writing, my friend. Fabulous work 👏👏👏👏 x
Thank you so much for your kind comment Being Me. I've just edited slightly so it flows better. I always appreciate you reading and leaving feedback.
Take care - Syd xo
I do love the smell of melting steel.
Great poetry Syd, I love it.
