Nature's Mink Coat

Nature created
A white mink coat
For herself
That not even
PETA could complain
About
No animals were
Hurt while writing
This poem
True to form
Under a frozen
Moon
She danced
To her own
Tune
As an audience
Of stars
Were amazed
As they gazed
Upon her
In her mink coat
That was not
Made of fur
Nor touched
By human
Hands
So for now
She lays on the
Ground perfect
Until someone's
Pet
Ruins something
So perfect
All because he
Has to pee
Now the reality
Is that her beauty
Is now stained

Forever lost
Frozen under
Yellow frost and
Brown s**t
I have to admit
The dog ruined
It 
As this hurts
Me so 
That I will have to
Wait for the next
Snow
To see another
One grow
All because
Some pet
Got her coat
Wet
Staining us all
With regrets

Author's Note

I am not an animal lover so you could imagine my disdain when someone walked their dog out onto the untouched snow and the dog pissed and defecated on the snow and then left. It ruined such a beautiful scene.

LOL,
I do Love animals, yet I agree that it should be cleaned up.
I do feel sorry for the dog though.
My dog has his own huge yard.
Animals normally like cleanliness too.
My dog always goes on the outskirts of his yard
He knows better, But what is a dog to do without his own yard?
The owner should be as smart and clean.

I hope your Awesome poem helps others awaken with sensitivity toward others.

growing up my father was a harsh and stern man...when I asked for a pet he said," if it poops and pees than it needs to have a job and help pay some of the bills in this house" So I not had that opportunity to have a pet... I often wondered how he felt about babies but he stood 6'6 and I thought it was not best to ask that question.

I really can relate to that feeling and situation. All the more I say break that Spell.
You will be a wonderful Pet owner. All you have to do is remember how you felt and Do the Hokey Pokey.. Yup. Change it around ;-)

Yellow snow yellow snow you know the song?I love seeing a fresh snow fall not walked on a pure white covering its beautiful.I didn't know if I should chuckle cry or be ticked off you definitely took our emotions for a ride with this good work

[Jerome F Knox III pseudonym Nefarious J. Dorsey]

it is funny because I had no idea the range of emotions had in this piece. I was just venting that here was a snapshot inn time that was beautiful until it was contaminated by a dog. I guess the beauty in poetry is that the readers see and express things that you don't see...thanks for the review......

your quite welcome Rico

Well, before we had indoor plumbing we used to do that too, so I wouldn't be pissed at the animal just because God made them that way. There's always litter, though, but you have to walk your dog. I think you're over-exaggerating. We all live in one planet and we have to get along. Anyway, the poem was simple and easy to understand, and you delivered your point and opinion in a successful manner, so I applaud you for that. Thanks for sharing.

"I think you're over-exaggerating"....you should have been where I was sitting and I am sure that your opinion would have changed. It was so beautiful, untouched a snapshot of God's beauty and perfection was so majestic and to have that ruined by an made me angry...The question is who is at fault, the dog or the ignorance of its owner?

[Shane Mohamed]

The owner!

[Shane Mohamed]

It's not the dog's fault.

[Jerome F Knox III pseudonym Nefarious J. Dorsey]

well there you have it....I often say this.."don't make your ignorance my problem!"

[Shane Mohamed]

What about dogs and cats that stray without owners in most countries throughout the world. Not all nations all civilized Rico.

Rico, again I applaud your presentation as well as the wording. Freestyle hip-hop type writing is captivating. We live sort of on the edge of some woods and have lots of feral cats roaming around...you would definitely not like how they decorate the landscape (ha ha). Really great you found your voice...keep writing, here's to ya! take care...dan

thanks for the kind words and support....Your words keep me sane when I am feeling insane...Being born in Washington D.C. there were a lot of influences in music and dialects, Go-Go in D.C. House and Techno from Baltimore and Hip Hop from New York. These are the bones that are deep in my soul that I write from....edgy, fast and quick delivery....

If this is the style that suits you, then go with it. Anyone that thinks that makes you a one-trick pony can kiss your pony's a*s. Keep writing! take care...dan
