Sunday Whirl (Wordle #161) presents a list of words
that we must incorporate in a writing piece.
The words this week are:
altitude, disaster, force, chaos, why, people,
plastic, alabaster, bread, mine, any, graphic.
The Skin Mine
What do people see in the porn
That fills the internet?
Watched from a discrete altitude,
To see but not to get?
Alabaster skin, with little worn,
Brazilians, t-shirts wet,
And plastic breasts that protrude
Unlike any natural set.
The actors do it for their bread,
Their willingness is sold.
But why do others interact
With something they can’t hold?
They’re not forced to put this in their head,
No disasters will unfold,
Just graphic images of a chaotic act.
Or so I have been told.

... or so I have been told... Yeah, right! *grin* This was such a fun write! And I see how we went in a similar direction. Yours was far better though!
ReplyDeleteIt must fulfil some need..for the viewer..a hollow one probably like much of today's world..you question this most insightfully..
ReplyDeletelike what you've done with the words...the poem asks a pertinent question...which I guess many have asked, and the rhythm is good. An all around interesting and fun poem.
ReplyDeleteAll in the name of education...
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely spot on. Well wordled.
ReplyDeleteSoo you've told.. very well done
ReplyDeleteUse your imagination....example. Now we know. :)
ReplyDeleteWell, it certainly is popular enough, J. I really have never understood-why? Well done.
ReplyDeletePamela
Are we truly to believe that last line? ;)
ReplyDeleteWe all know people have sex. It's a wonderful part of life, but watching a degraded version of it over and over would be boring, I think. You did a great job with the topic!
