Mick Talbot Poet Rhyme

Plastic Surgery - Inspired By Susan Ashley

PLASTIC SURGERY
~~~~~
The now senescent sands, lost beauty, 
suffering plastic surgery two tides a day. 
Back when, the tides revealed its beauty.
Man, so remiss, it hasn't stayed that way.

Metaphorically speaking, as sand can't age
Biologically speaking, but its density,
It increases, and quickly when storms rage
From rock to mud, ongoing, relentlessly.
~~~~~~~~~~~
