This is a poem form called Landay and it utilizes couplets! The theme is supposed to revolve around harsh truths through wit… but I’ll probably skip the wit part.
People Wish There Was More
People seem to be a lonely, sad bunch
Humans have one kind though we lie and talk to our dogs.
They can hear us but we can’t hear them.
We grow wary of each others constant babble.
Because no matter how much we try
To love our neighbor, to listen for every word
We falter and the threads start to drop
We wish instead we could talk to the family cat.
