Contest Noir by Rembrandt Clarke

I want noir


Think Hammett
Think Chandler
Think Big Mask

Think super glorious fog soaked
pulp fiction breakup scenes

give me your Gotham Dreams
give me the dark underbelly of our hardboiled lives



-----------------------------------------------------


All Rhyming poems should be submitted with full bio including your ten years experience either as a poet laureate or a similiar poet in residence post.

(for those that did not understand the irony or sarcasm in the above phrase, NO rhyming unless you are really shit hot and you DO know if you are or not)


People, actually read what i am asking for

    excellent

    why does it seem more romantic in black and white?

  • I can rhyme, I know I can. Do dislike it just because it rhymes.
