Andrea Dietrich Poet Tanka

Change Those Dirty Diapers

an adult whose mind

has been soiled by the filth

he daily ingests

has no parent to change him

no cute child - he disgusts us

John Lawless May 4, 2018 at 7:28 AM ...as the T-shirt says..."Politicians, like diapers, should be changed frequently....and for the same reason". Thanks for participating in the contest Andrea..

Honesty Oimbo April 24, 2018 at 3:40 AM I like the title. It makes remember Moses of the old testament when God told him, "remove those sandals.."

Kim Rodrigues April 23, 2018 at 5:44 PM This has veracity! Small children are cute...an adult child perverse. Nicely said! Top notch!

Cheryl Hoffman April 22, 2018 at 9:36 PM An awesome write for the contest Andrea; so true about the mind which can become soiled and needs a changing! Good luck in the contest!~Che :)

Line Gauthier April 22, 2018 at 2:32 PM Well done, Andrea. Yep that wraps it up. There are disgusting people out there who would do well to change the dirty diaper they walk around in while arrogantly and noxiously polluting everyone's environment.

Janice Canerdy April 22, 2018 at 1:18 PM Strong, realistic statement, Andrea! Well-done. Janice

John Gondolf April 21, 2018 at 10:55 AM It is sometimes a difficult challenge to avoid the filth that surrounds us; I think whether it affects our mind depends on how we were brought up. I do worry about the next generation. Nicely written, Andrea, best of luck. John

Matthew Anish April 20, 2018 at 9:13 PM Pretty harsh sounding words! Wish you would explain this ode to me! I just put out a new chapbook "Of Other Things". Peace & Love Matthew Anish

Arturo Michael April 20, 2018 at 4:38 AM Difficult for many indeed...I change my diapers as often as possible...fresh and clean...

Tom Cunningham April 20, 2018 at 2:28 AM How true Andrea, there does not seem to be any constraints anymore, filth everywhere, and comedy full of bad language that's supposed to be funny , I dont think so . Good luck. Tom.
