Loss Leader Poems | Examples


Dog Years


Man, it’s been four long dog years!
Forlorn doggone tears
of toil 
and trouble

It’s a flee collar fact,
this feels like forty years
of Sirius jaw smack:

Loss leader of the pack
has got a Cujo shifty,
barf shuffle

Spit pissing 
constant doggie poo 
puff bubbles

It’s bad to the bone,
contentious err

Listening to those vulgar [s]wag tales,
has pup aged 
my schnauzer soul ten-fold

That’s howl long it’s been,
four dog-eared years!

All of them dog whistle tweets,
mutter sounds belch indiscreet
Vomit noise spilt in the streets,
by deputy dawgs on gag delete:
A Pluto soundbyte loop repeat

Those pilfer pooches
was gon be 
the Scooby-Doo death of me
But I didn’t wanna wait-see

Woe, man! It’s been four long dog years,
of carny bark
not subtle

Every wrinkled nose ballot spoke,
grey stubble

Too many me 
were simply dog tired 
Of seeing Lady Tramp Liberty
lip muffled

Her trashed democracy hope
getting Lassie tear-tossed
in the rubble

I truly dream-fear
those rabid dog years
(four centuries of snarl jeers)
will runt-of-the-litter reappear

Leader

A leader's demise,
shook the hearts of millions.
Who made others realize,
power is seldom from victorious elections,
but in building a righteous nation!!.
With knowledge as vast as Kaveri,
eloquence of his Tamil speech delivery,
his absence making citizens question,
the plight of the nation,
who is to replace his position ?
The struggles he had endeavored,
millions of lives he inspired.
A Tamil patriot...
A True Dravidian...
Most of all, a humble human!!
