Semmy Side of Life

[blackpepperhoney]

The seamy side is more real if you mean to compare it to beautiful like pristine b/c nothing here is... especially the longer we live. Well, nature is... but we aren't. Portrayals as such sort of gloss over (like the photo-shopped pic I love to display). For me at least, I can't immerse in the darker parts -it causes me to lose hope. For me, the best works show a balance -a realism between the variances within our humanity. IDK...BTW I like the poem -thanks for sharing. :)

What good is knowing beauty without the ugliness that stems forth from it?

Why not whores and booze AND love and flowers?

Good poem except you almost make it sound like drinking yourself to sleep might be a bad thing :p
