Four Line Blues Poems

Woman leaving.
I gambled on our feelings and
My misled past.
Got her aching goodbye on Sunday.

-K-

I know this liquor prison
Would never fool nobody.
Aching, hurting, looking.
Trying mind going to pay.

-K-

Walking shoes broke Monday.
Need to empty your lonesome 
Goodbye.  Aching trouble come Friday. 
Going to put the sad worry down.

-K-

I got sad lying money.  Woman 
Playing sorrow hearted about 
Leaving home.  I'm going back when
Baby and liquor need me.

-K-

Dollar letter, lonely suitcase,
Mercy cry. Now I'm
Blaming time. Walking goodbye,
Runnig sorrow, aching nobody.

-K-

Them walking feet never 
Blame shoes.  Lonesome cryin' 
Drink lookin' empty worriedDespair. Hang hearted morning.

-K-

Gambled Sunday, leaving Monday. 
No prison train or hurting shoes. 
Highway driving tomorrow. 
Goodbye trying.

-K-

Crying woman walking out. 
Suitcase, station, town, gone. 
Lying luck, sad heart. 
Half tired nobody blues.

-K-

Your mercy letter satisfied my sorry. 
Forget the love.  Lost any 
Crying blind rain.  Take back all 
She put on a name.

-K-

Going back?  Why?
Old town. Lost woman.
Shoes, suitcase, pistol.
Hollow hearted blues.

-K-
