Orphan In the Dock

The part that breaks my heart is the "voice without love." Appreciate this succinct message..my mother was an orphan.. :) gwendolen

A native alien, is how I came to say it. Someone who's home was meant to roam. With nobody to share it. Maybe you would like to read my native alien.

well scribed, harry..so thought provoking and deep!...:) huggs

Hello Harry, loving your tanka, stopping by to wish you a Happy Halloween ;-).~hugs xox hugs~ Please have a happy, fun and safe Halloween. Trick or treat~ Love:-) PD

a true person. thanks for letting me know.

A superb Tanka. No doubt orphans are victims of life's promise. Thanks for your admiration of my poem Prayers Answered. You are so right. Faith is surely the binding factor of the virtuous people of the world. However, there are a few supporters of evil that are the prime cause of creating prejudice and divide. Our job is to frustrate their evil design. Regards

Harry, this makes me want to know more of him. It sounds like he was unfairly sentenced. Is it based on a true story? Good to see a new poem from you today!

Good poem, Harry! Our 'humanity' has its limits, unfortunately... Terry (& thanks for your kind words)
