Me as a Cartoon Wolf

LOW PRICE LEADER

Plus what is enough? (a collaborative poem written by Juliet Cook and Charles Cicirella)

Plus what is enough? 

I didn't realize this fruit had fangs
until I bit in and swallowed.
I guess they're technically prickly spines
carved out of someone else's brain.
The x ray tech told me my veins were okay
but they only checked one part of my body.
I mean I can't even organize my own photos,
so let's not talk about the insides
of my screwed up head trying to coalesce
with the insides of someone else's.
Plus which your head can just fuck itself
if you're going to make fun of my other friends.
***
The Me Too Movement left me on the sidelinessomewhere between Hell and High-water.And I’m not okay with that because I have a storyeven though I choose not to tell it unless the lights are out and I’m wearing my favorite pair of jammies.There’s something to be said for discretionary spending.
I’m so tired of taking the higher ground and listening to my better angels.The better devils inside of me are kicking up a tumbleweedtsunami and refuse to settle for their own Broadway musical.I’ve listened long enough to the voices inside my headand am pretty sure they don’t have my best interest at heart.

***

Sometimes I think pinking shears live inside my bodyand I want to pull them out and cut off some of you guy's dicks.Sometimes I think there's a lawnmower living inside my bodyand I want to yank it out and cut off someone's eggplant shaped head.In my dream a doll house is filled with tiny chainsaws aiming towards doll eyes.In my nightmare I am the doll house filled with tiny dolls with chainsaws for mouths.

A NEW mini-review of my NEW poetry book, "Malformed Confetti"!

"All hail the Queen of Grotesque, Juliet Cook! Her imagery is monstrous, distorted and unnatural — an unmistakably unstable mixture of estranged dollcanos and blood."the beginning of a mini-review (that also appears as a back cover blurb) by the wonderful Susan Yount, of my NEW poetry book, "Malformed Confetti (published by Crisis Chronicles Press,October 2018)read the rest here - https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/2565048716?book_show_action=false&from_review_page=1

Another NEW Review of an old book, "Horrific Confection" (AND a link to a new book,"Malformed Confetti")

"This is a dark collection of poetry focusing on childhood fears, eating disorders, body dysmorphia and…..cake. Well that is the feeling I get from reading this, it leaves a lot to the reader’s imagination, how you read certain lines in each poem can change the whole poem completely, it’s all very clever.The book seems to span a great distance, with early poems showing childhood fears and being in awe of her mum, and then in later poems the poet has grown up and is writing about sex and her own baby (which I think may or may not have flippers)."part of another new review of my ten tear old first full-length poetry book, "Horrific Confection"read the rest by clicking the link here - https://felcherman.wordpress.com/2018/09/16/horrific-confection-by-juliet-cook/***Ten years later (October 2018), my second full-length poetry book, Malformed Confetti, has finally come to life - and you might be interested in investigating that collection too!HERE is its goodreads link - https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/42378555-malformed-confettiYours, Juliet Cook
