Kim Stone Poet Rhyme

Homeless

   Missed the ones
   Not seen
   Sleeping in the culvert
   By the stream

   Sounds carrying
   Rodents scurrying
   The ones not seen
   Furry

   Measuring each tiny step
   Silence thundering on
   Quietly rising
   Carrying on

   Doing what must
   To fit in
   Belong
   Surviving

   The multitude reaching out
   Missing the ones
   Not seen
   Unheard in a silent scream

Zyrool Gifford March 5, 2025 at 5:39 AM Hello Kim, this is beautiful piece on a homelessness, beautifully put. I feel very sad when I see it. It frightens me that it could get worse. Have a great day, my friend. Kim Stone March 5, 2025 at 4:35 PM You our expressing the fear I see coming. Thank you for your comment. There is an old child's story called Stone Soup which I am continuing to encourage people to read. This would be at least a way to help people get fed.
