A Disillusioned Angel

I walked out of heaven
disappointed to hell,

I shook paradisal dust
loose from my sole,

poured myself a large
double tequila sunrise,

put on my pink leather looks
and hit the bars down town,

for heaven is always best
viewed from the bottom up.

John, I love this - not only a whole vivid scenario but a philosophy in only fifty words! I'd love to have a go but not sure I could after reading yours.

Nell.

Hi John. This is excellent in its conciseness and seeming simplicity. It made me smile at the end!

Georgeous, witty, and I particularly enjoyed the line about shaking dust from your sole, in that context. Love the end lines, too.
