Ain't life a bitch?
Well ain’t life a bitch? Amy arrested!
Amy Winehouse, fine outstanding singer!
I watched a documentary, with some red
Chilean last night. She’s a dead ringer
For Dusty Springfield, but darker; finger
And foot bloody, tattooed with grave excess.
Well, next day she’s banged up in the clink, her
Befuddled stagger and her soiled dress.
She makes a cracking story. What a mess
That crack pipe’s made of her windpipes! She’s fled
From tours, from the James Bond theme tune. Minger
To some, pin-up to others. Caused distress
To dad Mitch, whose black cab’s sadly headed
To North London to bury him or her.

she destroyed her body. and she mutilated it.
she has the most amazing voice and talent I have heard in a long time, if ever.
superb poem
the poem has a great, clean rythm, its very easy to vocalise, I read it aloud and as a performance piece it worked for me too. I can take it and read it confidently.
its not complex or heavy going.
Its the kind of poetry I enjoy
thank you
