Doggy Style
Satire

What is poetry?
itāsĀ when Iām inspired to reflect
on things I see around me
observation of sorts
let me give you an example,
Ā
Why does this beautiful lady
that's sitting next to me on the bus have a Prada bag?
Ā
Ā if she has a Prada bag doesnāt she own a car?
Ā
is her Porsche in her garage, broken down?
maybe she doesnāt have a car?
Ā
those posh bags cost a fortune
maybe she had to choose between the bag and the car?
Ā
Ā
then I start questioningā¦
why donāt I have a posh bag?Ā Ā
well, poets donāt need material objects or, are all poetās poor?
Ā Ā
It doesnāt matter what a bag is called right?
Ā
so just when I'm answering my own questionsĀ
Ā
the ugliest little dog pokes his head out
from under the loose diamond zip
Ā
my mind is now in overdriveā¦
so then I find myself reflecting on this point...
Ā
why on earth, would any woman in the world
spend that much money on a handbag
Ā
just to have it filled up with dog shit?

Ah the first line. What is poetry? I agree with your answer. It is observation. It is taking something mundane and ordinary and letting it take you where it will. I love the way you let your imagination make assumptions about this person. As for the poet not needing material possessions, yes I agree and I don't know a rich poet. I hope the dog was well trained. š¹
Good morning dear Bernie, I find the world we live in is far too materialistic, I find that maybe if society realised that having the best
I phone and the largest flat screen TV doesn't do any good for our environment we may all live better, after all when the latest addition leaps into the shops the older stuff gets thrown away, I'm not so convinced we live in such a recycling world as we are taught to believe. A lot of it gets thrown in the ocean. Sorry my friend just having a rant, and I've never had any sort of posh bag either but even the wrapping is a giant mass of waste. Happy Tuesday my dear Bernie.Thank you so much for taking the time to come by dear friend. Ps, dogs aren't meant to live in anyone's bag nor be dressed up š š¹
Hey my friend, rant away. You are saying exactly what I feel. Built in obsolescence is the modern catchphrase. Plus our kids are reluctant to have anything passed down to them though my daughter is the proud possessor of some hand me downs. I agree that recycling can sometimes be a myth.Ā
Have a great day my dear friend. Sunny and 18 degrees here today. But it won't last. š¹
I live a very simple life dear Bernie, I live in the country,Ā I have hand me downs and they truly are like treasure. š¹Ā
Good on ya my dear friend. Somehow I knew that would be the case. š¹
I'm 17. My dad's Dad asks me What do I want to be? At 17 I know. I say, I'll be a Poet! He replies, 'So you take an oath of Poverty, then?'Ā
dear Rory, but we are so much richer without the sauce aren't we. I'd rather be a poor poet rather than someone who spends money on ridiculous things, ps I'm writing this from my yaught lol. Thank you so much and your dad was very wise but you even more so as at 17 you knew and here you are, reading my scribbles and indeed writing your own . š¤£ š¹Ā PPS my mother always told me i was a poet.Ā
I'd rather have the doggo without the handbag truth be told haha...and I think many poets have less monetary wealth, its where the depth of experience is from
great write gave me lots to ponder
xx
hello dear Lorna, lovely to see you, people can sometimes become a slave to top labels and other truly useless stuff like the Lamborghini lol I'm so glad you have enjoyed this, I feel incredibly rich just being here sharing my thoughts with other lovely poets like your self. Thank you š¹
