Bleeding V2 (Free verse) by INTRANSIT

Hoooweee! What a scam. What a deal! The line smoothes his Armani necktie pointing to the fine printed showroom billboard. "And there'll never be another deal like this one"! Meanwhile, his cronies finesse our finances as he leads us to the sinker pencils freshly leadened to carry us to the bottom. And let's not forget the hook, teeth shiney clean, who showed us the little guy across the street and what kind of junk he was selling. What an opening gambit. What happens when this contract goes full term? Oh, we'll still be here. A fish, strung up with all the others attracting bears.

I think in this case you're better sticking with capitalism, launch in on Bush etc in something new. As for reading - well, the people who got me writing were T.S. Eliot, Robert Frost, Edward Thomas, a modern Brit called Simon Armitage, Philip Larkin, and Wordsworth, Keats, Coleridge etc. Read some Shakespeare, esp. the sonnets, because he will tell you everything you need to know about handling forms and rhymes and ideas in a small space. Read Yeats for the manic highs and lows. And follow your nose - if you find a good side route from one of these chaps, follow it. Of course, these are just my faves - other people will give you other names.
