Call A Spade Poem by Douglas Scotney
Call A Spade
What symbols once a poet got away with
without the hint of an audience laugh.
What tragedy he could convey
with what he now must with a spade portray.
Symbolism's dead when life is tragedy.
A poet even questions the use of dexterity.
New ways to convey the language seems to sweep away the old and we poor poets have to bend or we will break It is a shame the world has become so literal and the symbolic not understood. A thoughtful poem BB ! 0/10

Times have changed you must know And now you can call a spade an axe This is what the world has come to show That honesty and integrity is now a bit lax But to be practical we must go The way the winds do blow..... Great work sir and I welcome you to my page too
