Tuesday poem #162 : Jamie Sharpe : Author Photo

            for M.H.

Drinking Yukon Red in the Pit,

beneath the painting of a chorus girl

pleasuring a Mountie.

            Jamie, Dude, for so many reasons

            that picture, while hilarious, won’t fly.

I explain the Mountie and chorus girl

are in a loving relationship and a canvas

of him down on her exists also.

            Something better lit and with significantly

            less blowjobbery would be appreciated.

Put that fellatio

in a poem.

Jamie Sharpe is the author of two poetry collections, Animal Husbandry Today (ECW, 2012) and Cut-up Apologetic (ECW, 2015). He lives in Whitehorse.
