puppy dogs and flowers


Recommended Posts

puppy dogs

get shaved by

the blind man with razor scars

 

they bleed from the inside

 

they get in the plastic bag to die

all over the sidewalk

 

fragile petals flounder in the wind

throwing up on the baby in the stroller

to hold one, dying, in your hand

 

sharp needles go too deep

merging with the backdrop

 

bruised and shattered

the woman walks alone

 

the children cry in the night

for the lost souls the darkness keeps

pay them no heed

 

the end is coming

the end is coming

the end is coming

Damn good poem there, love the imagery. It's the sort of poem that dares you to read it and go further. And if you have a dark sense of humor, it's hilarious AND you can see the point behind it. It's definitely awesome, especially how it practically spits in the face of every poetic cliche we know of. It's starkly original and very unique to the poet. Good job, man.
