Morning newspaper
the world's depression in print;
a dog cocks his leg.

    I agree with Rania - there is much here, as there usually are in your short forms.

    I personally liked the visual humour; the dog, a poodle, I muse, looking disdainfully at the headline: Dementia rates 'higher near busy roads' whilst releasing his waste on wasted news; on 'a waste of tree'

    Super job.

    Take care - I am sure you live far away from any busy roads, right?

    Hellon, this is excellent and a very smart piece. Definitely a waste of a tree.

    This is a very smart piece, I might be understanding this the way I want to, but the way I did shows me a very deep connotation between the dog's do, the tree, the paper coming from the tree, the awful news printed in it.

    Such a weird poem, it provoked so many thoughts; excellent piece.
