The Homeless Man and Other Poems


The Homeless Man

By Angela C.

A homeless man
Scavenges
In trash barrels
And envies
People who look down on him
With scorn
As they hurry home
To their evening meals.

He crouches
In a rat infested corner,
Content to be with creatures
That don't cringe
At the sight of him.

Angel

by Erin C.

Although I was young I remember. . .
Memories shared,
Games played,
Times spent talking,
All in the distant past now
That you are gone away,
Watching from above,
Loving,caring,
An angel in the heavens
My grandpa

The Clock

by Kevin G.

The Clock
Ticks,
Counting out bits of time.
Monotonous and never ceasing,
making minutes seem eternities
or a day of fun only a minute long.
It is our master, we its slaves.
From its place on the wall
the clock rules our modern world,
counting the seconds toward eternity.
