Inherent Grace

Welcome to the show

At the start this may seem odd

But the donkey doesn't mind change

It powers on through the gelatinous mud

During Spring downpours

Endures the humiliation

Of the legendary shows

In seedy bars across Tijuana

Displays its mastery of patience

As innumerable breeds of insects insist

On invading its anal aerospace

The donkey truly knows how to take it all in stride 

Author's Note

Another old piece.

All reviews and criticisms welcome.

I like this as it challenges my ideas of what most people might write about. Creative write!

I love donkeys they're beautiful creatures. Nice write.

Interesting poem! Unusual topic, that challenges the typical associations with a donkey.

I love it!

Thanks for checking it out. Been in a rut lately. Haven't been able to write anything new in over a month. Probably due to my new sobriety... Anyway, I figured something old would inspire something new. We'll see how it turns out. Once again, thanks for reading! Look forward to some new stuff from you!

Enjoyed the whole poem, loved the line, 'The donkey truly knows how to take it all in stride.' Reminds me of how Jesus rode into Jerusalem on a donkey.

Beccy.
