Pretty Man

I'm a dog
A simple dog
A dog like any other you'd meet
But this dog has a secret
So please try and be discreet

I wish I were a pretty man
For they have it oh so sweet
I wish I were a pretty man
Because they never get beat

I believe the expression goes
"He was beaten like dog"
And that statement makes me weep
I'd much rather be the victim of the expression

"This pretty man has them at their feet."

I'm a dog
A simple dog
A dog like any other you'd meet
But hopefully Fate will be kind
And after I die

A pretty man I will be

Genius might be the ability to say a profound thing in a simple

 

I want preface this by admitting that poetry criticism needs to be defined separately than ordinary criticism because it serves a very different function.

And I am not being critical at least not with a purpose.

All poetry should find an essence of context and then the author should push limits of the readers sensibilities.

Genius might be the ability to say a profound thing in a simple way.”

Charles Bukowski


 

This is a perfect example of juxtaposition, a simple expression

"he was beaten like a dog"

it bridges the gap between poetry and a social world that creates an assurance of the illusion that there is relevance to assume that human life is larger than the universe and my little dog that knows nothing of life or the universe.

For all the beat up dogs

I say

yelp!


 

Peace

Dylan
