A Modern Song

I see heaps of 
rotten garbage
with flies and 
mosquitoes,
I hear noisy 
sexy songs,
I smell stinking 
odour,
I eat latrine-
worms,
I touch broken 
rusty 
machines,
I think of 
profusely 
urinating
on basils, lifting
a leg like a dog
and I tear 
sunflowers to 
pieces.

Mandal, wow... This is cool, and so expressive. , Stopping by with a nice, sweet Welcome to Poetry Soup. I will find much delight, in reading and in time become familiar with your way of writing. But, for the mean time, I will greet you with the same smile, other poets passed when I first join the soup 4 years ago. I wish you the best when it comes to your poems. I hope you get to meet all the nice poets around here. Starting with me. SKAT :-) Please drop a hello and tell me a little about yourself if you like. I would like to be your newest poetry soup "FRIEND". Hugs* SKAT

I am in laughter how you are a new poet, and already block have me. Shame on you. Is this the kind of spirit you have. I don't understand, I don't know who you are, nor do I want to anymore. Do you really think you have the right to judge others, before getting to know them. Oh is it the name, or cause someone sent you. Have a nice life, I will block you too as well. As a reminder, not to come near your work. I will have others block you too. Let's see how you like getting blocked by poets you've done nothing to
