Margaret Street

by The Poetess (SRP)

 

Here I am

In the middle of a city

Living in something

That sure ain't pretty.

A tarp on the roof

Dents on the hood-

No, it isn’t very much

But I did the best I could.

Oh, how they gossip -

Assuming what they don’t know!

And I just keep on looking

For Heart that doesn’t show.

Many turn up a nose.

Some just sneer on by.

And I keep squaring my shoulders.

But, when they laugh. . .I cry.

It is true that some people can be utterly insensitive and thus, very cruel. I can empathize with what you have expressed via your verses here. Love, peace, and best wishes,

Regis

In the Whirlwind by Tichaona Chinyelu

In the Whirlwind is a poetic storm that frees history from the cages of corruption and puts it in the hands of everyday people. Words are weaved into a new fashion statement that has nothing to do with runways but everything to do with projects!
