Dodo



Water water everywhere
Not a drop on its wing
Golden dodo soars high
In dark gray sky
Worry not give time
Damp patch to dry
On the ceiling
And on the lung
May it sound funny, honey
But what really matters
Is money

  1. It DOES sound funny! Why should we exchange little bits of paper, hard to obtain, for what we need? The exchange is between items not similar at all.

  4. Does the poet really believe the ending of the poem? Just curious...

    1. I don't think poets have to believe what they write or even tell the truth for that matter, e.g. dodos couldn't fly as they had no need living on an island with no predators until we came along, but by then it was too late to learn. Bye bye dodo!

    2. @MMT: No, he doesn't! It's a satire as has been said earlier. Thank you for reading:)
      @Robin: That dodos were anatomically unable to fly is a known fact but this a 'Golden' one soars high figuratively and the sarcastic end justifies its flight.. Thank you sir for your interest in my work:)

  6. Ha! Such an amusing take on all the fuss accorded to this thing called money. I like this kind of sarcasm, doling out extreme premises with a self-indulgent humor. :-)
