NAPOWRIMO 2013 #19

Based on Day 19 prompt from Miz Quickly

In the 'Flamethrower' form as devised by
Sweet Talking Guy


UNDERESTIMATED


Under repair, tear track tide mark, the norm
Normal service will be resumed some day
Daily dose, designed to entertain
Enter train, and we’ll take her for a ride
Rid her mind of all unwanted extras
Extrovert behaviour displayed sometimes
Sum total of her time amounts to trash
True clash of personality insight
Incited by action bordering madness
Made mess difficult to clean up after
At her own home she can seem more tidy
Tidy tailor made bespoke emotions
Emulsion painted on and taken down
Drowning in her tears she’s going under














MARINE TEST DUDE


Made mess difficult to clean up after
At her own home she can seem more tidy
Rid her mind of all unwanted extras
Incited by action bordering madness
Normal service will be resumed some day
Emulsion painted on and taken down

True clash of personality insight

Sum total of her time amounts to trash
Tidy tailor made bespoke emotions

Daily dose, designed to entertain

DEMAND TRUE SITE


Drowning in her tears she’s going under

Sum total of her time amounts to trash
Incited by action bordering madness
True clash of personality insight
Extrovert behaviour displayed sometimes

  3. Nicely Stan, I underestimated you, (only joking). You could try 'Duet Tames Diner' or 'I'm Stan - Tree Dude'. or perhaps 'Red Diet Sun Mate'. Phew, I feel a book coming on.

    Finally - 'Steam Tired Nude' or 'Nude Tried Steam'.

  6. I an dying to kbow - who is "she"? This seems like an angry set but I've probably misunderstood. Long postcards!

  7. Thanks Viv... 'She' is the is 'tourist attractions' in general, and the piece(s) reflect the affect that tourism has on places... how they lose their identity, either through neglect or popularity, and seem to become very schizophrenic...

  8. I can see this particularly in some spots that were created just for tourism and have either thrived or nose dived depending on location.
