Dr.Ram Mehta Poet Pantoum

Still Life

In my area there’re no children with diapers      
No young people in their formative years             
There are no young people married or singles 
People call it “ a place of aged and aging couples"  

No young people in their formative years     
To regenerate no people returning home  
People call it “ a place of aged and aging couples" 
To the past or future they have no eyes       

To regenerate no people returning home  
No young people in their formative years 
To the past or the future they have no eyes  
In my area there’re no children with diapers

Dr.Ram Mehta May 16, 2010 at 7:11 AM I wish, Katherine, you re-read the poem. I want to say that there are no grown-ups and children in the area. In fact, they don't funds to raise the children. I hope you will read it again

Sara Kendrick May 7, 2010 at 3:16 PM The Pantoum itself is good but kinda a sad topic but it seems that it has become that way that the elderly are to themselves somewhere and children are in nurseries and school age children are off to themselves..different from one age....Keep the creative pen flowing.. Thanks for stopping by and commenting on my work..Sara
