Yes,

It’s true. Everyone needs a little poetry in their lives especially still for some good writing to take place.

I like writing and hope you do too. I especially love great poetry whether in fiction or nonfiction I like all the same my friend. A treasure trove of delight for the mind. Tell me if you’ve been in this moment.

You’re reading a biography about a memorable time in history, a autographical book or fictional fantasy and your eyes land on a sentence that just makes you smile or laugh out loud at the blunt truth or stark honesty.

A minor example of sorts:

“I knew what I was doing was wrong but I honestly say it wasn’t the devil talking to me that night Jack Daniels sang me to my doom and a pair of size D breasts didn’t help matters. My divorce that followed was a confirmation. But what can I tell you, I was a practicing alcoholic and a veteran idiot at the time and it seemed like a good idea to celebrate my first best-seller with a drink at my publisher’s house. It was just bad luck her husband wasn’t there at the time and she was almost a clone of my cheer leader Highschool sweet heart that rejected me for my baby brother.”

Fiction or otherwise it happens. It just rings of a poetic blunt comedy of our modern western republic times.
