85 Syllables


hope

when hope is explained
it takes away the magic
in expectancy
--------------------------------------------

money

ever notice change
when money becomes part of
the conversation
-------------------------------------------

advice

listen not to those
offering advice without
knowing a tinker's
-------------------------------------------

reliance

input and brain work
allow decision making
in self reliance
-------------------------------------------

violla

just when things get dull
you show a hidden brilliance
in thought and action
--------------------------------------------

You Look FatCalgary by RickthePoetWarrior

Using Calgary as a backdrop the author satirizes the self-serving nature of the public as it continues to fatten itself, not only physically, but egotistically as well.
