This poem was the first of my series of "Closet" poems of which made part of the title of the poetry collection, Coming Out of the Closet and Breaking the Chains: Poetic views from the other side of a special education classroom.

 Toys in the attic.

Toys on the shelf.

Toys in the closet

Needing help;

Tossed on the floor,

Wanted no more.

 

Where are the children?

Out the door.

 

Gathering dust.

Losing trust.

Losing hope.

Hard to cope.

Is this just a cruel joke?

 

You’re one of the children.

Don’t you care?

Lack of compassion

Makes life hard

For your toys

To bear.

From my wonderful childhood, it's hard for me to imagine what some children have to go through. Your poetry begins to tell us how terrible it is for some.

You Look FatCalgary by RickthePoetWarrior

Using Calgary as a backdrop the author satirizes the self-serving nature of the public as it continues to fatten itself, not only physically, but egotistically as well.
