Comment from For better for verse
I'm sure I knew a girl like this once.
Great piece of writing, and very perceptive and true to life.
Have a night out in Manchester, you'll see what I mean.
Well done.

Comment from Barb Hensongispsaca
I never understood why people thought they were so appealing and continued every night so desperate for anything. But then I have never been there yet. Very good descriptons in short strong phrases.

I enjoyed reading your rather descriptive poem "Bar stool Babe". You rhymed it well and you chose a good sketch.
All the best

Comment from Thesis
Hmmm, without looking, I know the type. I see her sitting there when I walk in and go to the other side of the bar. Unfortunate that she has such low self esteem that she waits for someone to either buy drinks or tell her sad tale to, but I have no patience. I want to drink hard, then go home to crash. Not prepared for drama.

Gramma for reading.
Comment from robyn corum
Wow. Sounds like the kind of cool girl I'd wanna hang with -- oh, wait. Not.
*smile* Although that's not quite fair. She might be the salt of the earth and just had a few hard breaks. Sad how we have a tendency to judge people by looks, eh? I'll give her a second chance, I think. *smile* Thanks for sharing and good luck!

A very well-written poem and character study. The girl on the bar stool.night after night waiting for someone who need to take her away for a while she makes a lonely picture while waiting.

Thank you so much for your comments.I think we've all seen her.
Comment from Bill Schott
This character study poem, Bar Stool Babe, has the classic tells of a lounge lizard trying too hard to remain whatever age she skipped over between princess and everybody's-next-one.
Sun bed brown.... tattooed backside...fag-stained fingers
All great phrasing for this poem.
