Notes About The Poem

The quote I added from my poem CHILD ABUSE is: "Usually wants a super hero or anyone to save them "

Sitting In the Dark Corner Kinda People

Sitting in the dark corner kind of people
Sloshing their troubles over beer and ale
Rolling their eyes and making fun of pussies
Who drink mixed drinks and wine

Putting up their fingers and laughing
at those who think they are better
The idealists, the ones who have 
not been hurt enough by life yet

Usually wants a super hero or anyone to save them 
Each one hoping their children will 
somehow carve out a bigger chunk
of this awful world, and not curl up 
and die in it like they have.

Andrea Dietrich October 19, 2019 at 1:48 PM Caren, I really like your creativity with Richard's contest. Congrats. I hope you are doing well. I am unable to be as active as I used to be here. Just so much life going on!! Caren Krutsinger October 21, 2019 at 12:57 AM Andrea, I have not had illness like I have had this week, so I finally understand something I never understood before. Please do whatever you can, and nothing extra that you cannot. Preserve the health you have my friend!

Richard Lamoureux October 12, 2019 at 9:37 AM Hi Caren, this poem would have been closer to the top of my list. Unfortunately you didn’t list your poem that you chose a line from. Still I felt this piece should be recognized. Thanks for entering my contest. Hugs Rick. Caren Krutsinger October 21, 2019 at 12:58 AM Thank you Rick. I often do not notice the "little things".
