I’ve been through most of what lulu.com has to offer in French poetry. I was surprised of the low proportion of free verse poetry I found. Probably less than 10%. As I’m mostly into free verse poetry, this is kind of deceiving. Anyway, I prefer English poetry. I just hope I’ll find more free verses in that language.

 

Also deceiving, the slow start of my book of French poetry. As I didn’t do much to promote it, that’s not a surprise. Anyway, it’s only available since Monday…

 

 

Boldness has so many faces. Like this woman looking like Mao Zedong who told herself she would impersonate Mao Zedong. A woman impersonating a dictator who raised a communist regime still active and repressing countless people. Wow. THAT is bold.

 

My French poetry book is finally ready ! All right !

If you can’t read French, don’t despair. An English version is undergoing and at least some poems will be accessible in the process.

From which side

the dawn is

preferable.

Vincent Lacroix, on trial for stealing millions from small investors had a 30 000$ payment (French article, didn’t find an English one sorry) on one of his credit cards for strippers.

I can’t visualize 30 000$ of strippers.

A 40-something woman comes out from a small pizzeria and violently throws a penny behind her shoulder.

At the dentist, a short and chubby man with glasses and wild teeth waits angrily for the late dentist. When someone asks him how he is going today, he answer he’s going home. Later on, the dentist provides him an expensive teeth-whitening product. Why do you want to have white teeth when they are wild, with some missing, and when you’re a short and chubby man with glasses?

The young and tiny woman cleaning my teeth frequently presses his breasts against my head. I can’t believe she isn’t aware of that. And that I’m not aware of that. And that I’m not aware she’s aware I’m aware of that. Greatest moment at the dentist ever.

A woman with a hijab is limping.

 

How long a couple should wait before living together? The best compromise between too soon and too late?

 

It was already known that the owners of Ben’s, the famous daily of downtown Montreal, would close the restaurant and sell it. Now, we know the new owners will destroy the landmark building and build something else.

When they kill my city, they kill me…

Last year, Chilean-born artist Marco Evaristti mixed fat removed from his body by liposuction with ground beef to make meatballs, which he fried in olive oil and displayed in a public gallery.

The least I can say, this is bold…

Like

a flower

handles

the world

She.

Mental stimulation and drug treatment may help people with brain ailments such as Alzheimer’s disease regain seemingly lost memories, according to research published on Sunday.

Does it mean I’ll have to give their money back to all these old people I stole?

Drinking coffee can help ward off type 2 diabetes and may even help prevent certain cancers, according to panelists discussing the benefits — and risks — of the beverage at a scientific meeting.

Wow now I feel like kissing a random Colombian.

Most suns

are too shy to

shine

but still

enlighten me.

A chocolate suicide isn’t workable.

 

If even I think there is too much poetry on this blog, well many readers must have been pissed off for a while. So I decided to channel my poetic verve in a poetic blog and channel my uhh the rest here. I might still post a poem here weekly but not more than that. And I will still speak about writing and creativity. Enjoy !
