A dog sat
down on
an old
skateboard left
resting beside a hydrant
and made
a philosopher

We often slap labels on things and limit ourselves from seeing other possibilities. The more I consider this poem the more I like it!

To pee or not to pee on the hydrant. Had to sit down to think about it. Then, skateboarded to the Art House.

Maybe I'm too old and out of touch, but I just don't understand this poem at all. Somebody please explain it to an old codger.

Well, this one isn't about plot....literary devices suggest possibilities rather than just one meaning..

From one old codger to another, I don't get it either, Cowboy.

I read this poem an allegorical writing and slapstick commentary on the present world as such.
