A Basement Leak

An unusual smell in the air
Bright stains on the wall
Colour of the carpet
Dull, dull, dull darkness
Except for some dry areas
Further from the wall is
     untouched by water

Marc Acrich Date: 2/15/2018 10:19:00 AM Short but it conveys a feeling Are you aware that your profile picture is sideways? I'm sure it will not be too difficult to flip it around I had someone tell me that one of my poems, the dinosaur one,  He read it to his kid and he was giggling made my day more than any comment ever did, that's what I was going for. See yah Login to Reply Darlene De Beaulieu Date: 2/15/2018 12:09:00 PM Yes i am aware that my profile picture is sideways.It won't go straight up, I have tried many times and it still goes sideways.I am so glad to hear that your dinosaur poem made a child laugh. That makes my day as well. See yah!

James Horn Date: 2/14/2018 10:15:00 AM Homeless Miss The Most. I never have been a perfect host, Yet still do like homeless the most; Second Helpings Program existed; To participate more have enlisted. Food is available for all of them, Even if it has been a her or him; From local stores is contributed, And by our church is distributed. In church song had been humming, Those in need up we were summing, And no matter how many or why, We know God will always help us try. Login to Reply Darlene De Beaulieu Date: 2/14/2018 12:51:00 PM Hello James, homeless people have a hard life.Good to know that food is there for them. Yes God will always help you try. have a nice day my friend.
