Of Petals and Smell

The rose by the window


Belongs to the widow


The man died


Sick of mind and soul


Years of marital solitude


Faded the roses petals


Color has vanished


With smell


And withered leaves to show


With prurient smell to spread


Life smells like ore


Not pleasant


But necessary


Live on…

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.
