So I definitely don't have a background in English or lit but I do enjoy writing to relieve stress which of course includes work related stress. I don't usually share my poetry but I feel like you all might be able to relate and I was inspired by the stripper and webcam haiku threads. Post yours too if you have any
Stand by, you're up in one
i make my way through the men slick with beer and sweat
and take my seat by the stage
our eyes meet
brown mirrors
sister eyes
I don't smile
her laugh shows the valleys of her dimples
she grabs my hand, both of us less lonely
i get her a water because she is drunk
a breast hangs out, lopsided, from a green mesh bra
a sequin hangs by a thread
i step onto the stage, clicking shoes and sharp lights
she leaves with three of the slick men
$500
If i see her again I will tell her she could've gotten more
