Bad Poetry Bradley Wilson

BAD POETRY fifteen poems and three short stories includes: Second Dedication A literal (and literary) Easter egg primarily patterned on Dante's rhyme scheme, with minor alterations. Not mentioned in the Table of Contents. Dick or Nachos Short form delight from her mouth to your ears. A (metaphor) for Aphorism A poem composed of simple sayings. Forlorn Element In this ode, the humble material may be worth its weight in gold. The Most Fragile Stone The end of a poisonous relationship? Or the perpetuation? On Anonymity Every artist fears rejection. The Saint Valentine's Day Massacre In this wicked short story, Bernard lusts for his best friend's wife. But who lusts for Bernard? Dance Hall of the Moon Existential crisis. Yikes! Maybe a Few Regrets Sometimes relationships are lonelier than being alone. No it Isn't! Rage against an all too popular non-sequitur. The Good Part Loneliness refines us at an agonizing pace. The Marriage Counselor The real obstacle to fidelity is not a cheating heart! The Canyon of Many Hoodoos In this mystical short story, a weary traveler picks up the mantle of destiny by confronting his deadliest foe in the desert. Better Beatnik style free-form audacity addressed to a dear friend. A Thought Sensible rumination in tidy verse, to prove that the author is still capable of such after Better. To The Mathematicians We are too smug a society. Requiem In the same vein as the previous poem. Bitch, Please! Epistle to too self-absorbed a bitch. The Forbidden Place In this final short story, a curious night watchman enters a bare plywood shed at the back of a single acre property, never suspecting the consequence! Afterward: Text from Mom This is exactly what it sounds like.
