The Wind Is Blowing, and Something Smells

Yes, I know fetid air has been filtering in  
Everyone around chokes on the stench, 
sour gin disguised as sweet words 
from the mouth of the depraved, loving sin
one can never smother foul barnyard scents  

It would take a thousand fragrant candles  
to burn the donkey's ass 
and get rid of the offensive odor and smelly gas
I sincerely wish this community  
could become a site with more class  

Will the rancid winds change direction  
so the fumes of cow dung  
stink up another pasture?  
Something needs a serious correction
so, the sweet scent of roses once more  

permeates the garden of poetry
poets dancing in harmony galore

Love the animal references having grown up on a farm I am fully familiar with poop and stink and flies. Thoroughly enjoyed, Kelli

I guess I am out of the loop and don't have a clue about anything. LOL..Creative writing. The title caught my attention since people are burning woodlands area after having timber cut and some of those burnings are including old tires (which is illegal) but it is happening anyway. It is making me sick when it happens night after night. They do the burning at night to try to avoid getting caught. Thanks for sharing this one with us. Sara K

Lol Art, I am worried you are after my poop crown . To quote Bob Dylan's lyrics "How many roads must a man walk down Before you call him a man? How many seas must a white dove sail Before she sleeps in the sand? Yes, and how many times must the cannonballs fly Before they're forever banned?" After 7/8 accounts the forever ban aint gonna happen! hugs jan xx
