Phil Kaye has been my favorite poet since he released Repetition
Same here. That performance made me cry.
Me too!
Phil Kaye strikes again 🥺❤️
not my COVID puppy being the pickiest eater for the first 2 years of her life and having crippling anxiety lol. then rescuing an adult COVID puppy who's also needy and picky... Really felt like he was speaking for my sweet COVID rescues and for me. All of us are doing alright now, but the three of us had a rough couple years.
the amount of emotions he made me feel in under 2 minutes… wow
Pissed off, Confused and ....Grateful 🙏
this reminds me so much of my dog that passed last September. she would like to go on hunger strikes, as we called them, and the line about hand feeding individual pieces of kibble hit hard. miss her all the time. I hope she's somewhere she can eat as many cheez-its and apple slices as she wants, as she was always willing to break her strike for those.
Sometimes they just get sore tummies and need a couple of days to settle them. And sometimes they know you'll panic and give them yummy treats if they turn their noses up at their regular food. Dogs can be very manipulative.
Its annoying how good he is! Jesus Christ 👏
I too have had that feeling =)
Goddamn it, Phil, this made me stand up and feed my puppy Cookies again!!
The way he ends his poems tho.
He's the poetry imposter
he ain't the real deal
how the hell would he know what proper poets feel
Where's the death and suffering
the misery and greiving
What kind of light weight light verse is this imposter reading?
A calamitous lack of alliteration
he writes disposable prose
It's threadbare shallow and painfully obvious he's the Emperors new clothes
and the most heinous of all his crimes
is writing poetry that rhymes
He knows all about death and he's no stranger to the dark
He doesn't like to show them but the scars have left their mark
He doesn't like to let on but he knows just how it feels when the black dog comes snap snapping at his heels
He's learned to recognise it and contain the breaking strain
now the black dog's tightly muzzled on an even tighter chain
He thinks he's oh so clever and so
wonderfully witty....
you know anger is an energy more productive than self pity
Our world is on it's death bed
and he gives us twee light verse
It's true
but please for just a few short minutes
let's not make things any worse
Covid puppies .......REALLY???????
Is this the best you can do??????
What kind of schmaltz is this?????
Wake up and smell the doggerel
Get real
I love your poem and agree with all your thoughts except for the bit about rhyming poetry being a heinous crime .. why is that?. A poem that rhymes is very difficult to write and if constructed correctly without appearing forced is beautiful - more so than prose poetry which oftentimes is just angst filled warblings imo❤️ or did I miss the point?
@@debndogs2208 irony darling irony !
Thanks for your thoughts and your reply
I wrote the poem after a horrible open mic night full of self indulgent navel gazing crap
Pass the sick bag Alice
Existentially yours ....

@@christhepostmanpoet6618 got it ! You are a “proper poet “- beautiful poem - not only did I see the little black dog snapping and snarling literally it also reminded me of a very black hole I once fell into and remained there for quite some time in the fetal position rocking !!!!
@@debndogs2208 PS I don't know why the word Don't appears at the end of my last message
I'm not very good at texting - more of a pen and paper man!
No you don't have a bad memory too.
Anthropomorphising dogs like this is daft. There's really no need to project your insecurities onto your innocent little canine companions. You cause these problems by doing so.
Wow, almost like its poetry or something. Shocking world.
@@liucarr9764 yeah, it's a poetry channel. Very observant of you. What do you think your point is?
Ugh. Pets are such a burden.
