Masturbating to Your Photograph

Alone on a Saturday night,
I am stark naked in squalor
Melting in my lonely chair,
I am a Vaseline coated penis

Oo=====0

Staring at your photograph,
I masturbate with glee
Believing the last time I saw you,
But did you – see me?

!_______________!
“Mi Novia, La Puta.”
!_______________!

How I kick- I kick-
Upon a frozen star
Now I lick- I lick-
Upon a bloody scar

!_____________________!
„Mi Puta, Dia Los Muertos.“
!!____________________!!

Strapping on sweetly shit-stained safety goggles groggily,
Pumping purple chainsaws into the fetus of every freezer,
Pissing merrily pedantic out of this thirtieth-story window,
I can now dip deposit my hand into a gracious garbage disposal
And flippantly I’ll flip the seventeenth symbiotic sacrilegious switch,
For paltry pastel resources of giggling malice DO indeed wish,

and wish_______________________________________________________________WISH

I love this and everything else

ART is YOU!
possessed by the spirit to share

Thanks, Klonopin, for

Thanks, Klonopin, for viewing and commenting. I've been reading a book about the DaDa art movement of the early 20th century, and it's got me influenced to try some different things in my writing. I'm glad you've enjoyed it. Peace, NSF

need to lay off whatever drugs your doing. In the land where we all share in the freedom of speech I see some use it more than others.I like to use that freedom also as you can plainly read by my lack of appreciation of this nonsense you call poetry. But this is just my feelings and thought I'd share it with you, Have a great day you jerk off hahaha just kidding.

Ronald, Ronald, Ronald, do

Ronald, Ronald, Ronald, do we really need another slapfight? I thought you wanted to "go our separate ways?" What happened to that? I guess the same thing that happened when you threw a temper tantrum in my anti-McCain piece after McCain lost. You might not like this poem and think it's nonesense, but Klonopin liked it, and I value his opinion more than yours. This poem was my way of conveying a feeling. If you don't like it, that's your problem. I have 17 buddies now on this site who enjoy my art, and I don't plan to stop what I'm doing because YOU disapprove. I suggest you be more open mided and simply ignore stuff you don't like rather than making these sorts of comments. I hope you also have a nice day, whether you jerk off or not. Oh, and please don't comment on my blog anymore if you're just going to leave these sorts of remarks. Thanks. Peace, NSF

You See

Ronald J. Edwards

there are two sides to freedom of speech that what you want to hear and that what you don't like.It is not a problem for me not to like your nonsense and that's OK. Seems you like to speak your mind, but you don't like to hear people speak theirs, that's a shame.

Passive Aggressive, aren't we?

I call BULLSHIT on that, Ronald. You never offered creative criticism, all you did was come on and say that my poem was "nonesense" and that I should "stop taking whatever drug I'm taking." How do think people will react when you attack them like that? You don't seem to know the difference between constructive criticism and personal attacks and THAT is a shame. You also have a very passive aggressive way of trying to turn everything around and make it anyone else's fault other than yours. You attack people and call them names and then act like "hey, what's your problem?"

You can clearly see from amount of response my blog has gotten that a lot of people on this site and on the internet in general like my work and it has been very flattering. If you don't like my poems, fine. But I honestly don't care much of what you think. If you DO have some sort of criticism that would help me improve as an artist, please share. But judging from your comments, you don't. And I'd like to point out that I've enjoyed pushing your buttons and pissing you off. The fact that I've made you go apeshit on these comment threads tells me that my work has a powerful effect on readers and THAT is the best compliment any artist can get. Thank you for reading and commenting, Ronald. But please, save the insults and attacks for someone else because I'm tired of calling you out on it and constantly having to send you into the corner wearing a dunce cap. GIVE IT A REST. Happy Holidays! Peace, NSF

Expressive

Wow. I felt this one. Some of it flew right over my head but some of it hit me right between the eyes. I can see the influences you were talking about in some of your responses to the comments below. I am not a huge fan of modern art but I do see its value and appreciate some of it. Part of my response to this piece is based on the timeliness of my reading of it - in five days I am going to go to an open mike night and put some of my poetry out there for the responses of total strangers. I realize that the venue is very different but I wanted you to know that I am going to be thinking of your courage, the courage to put something so deep from within yourself on display, when I take the stage. I appreciate your poetry but I also appreciate your willingness to "rock the house" and let the shingles hit you. Immense. Fair winds and a slow galleon to ye!

Thanks, Blackbead. Yeah, I

Thanks, Blackbead. Yeah, I was heavily influenced by this modern art movement, dadaism, that I read a book on late last year. I'd always been more into impressionism but started getting into modern art and surrealism recently. I think we should all try to look at different things and try different things every once in a while. That's what I was trying to do with this poem. I had a feeling of loneliness and tried to express it in an alternative way. Glad you felt it and appreciated this piece.

As for doing the open mic, just go out there and do your thing. We as poets or artists of any sort shouldn't be afraid to express ourselves. Write what you feel, and say what you feel, no matter how crazy or weird. That is true art! If you're going to do some pirate poems, I'd suggest dressing up as a pirate. I've never seen anyone do that at a poetry reading. That would be wild! Good luck to you. I'm sure you'll do well. Thanks for reading and commenting.

snuggly bug .x.x.

Thanks, Snuggles, for your

Thanks, Snuggles, for your comments. This is one of my more bizarre pieces. I'd just read a book on modern art and wanted to try something different in my poetry. I'd been feeling lonely and missing a girl I had a relationship with recently and decided to write about my feelings. Instead of the usual, "I miss you so much" type stuff many poets write, I thought of expressing how empty I was and how all I could do now was jerk off to her photo. Yeah, it's weird, but I'm just a weird person.

I'm always glad to bring some different stuff to this site; I agree that many people here, whilst they write some good stuff, get too serious. Most of my favorites on this site aren't afraid to get a little wacky at times. I'm back in school/work this week, so I won't be able to write as much or spend as much time here for a while, but I am putting together a piece I think you'll like. Thanks again for reading! Your pal, Neo

loving it

neocon I really enjoy your poetry, keep it coming

take care

Thanks, ms.casual284. I'll

Thanks, ms.casual284. I'll try to keep writing. As long as the epileptic vampire doesn't find me, I'll be OK.
