This Is What It Feels Like

a stranger in familiar land     
                                          my blood
too sings from the cracks 
of cobbled

Dreams beyond home

She walks the streets she’s always known,
But feels a longing deep, alone.
A fire burns inside her chest,
To leave, to grow, to find what’s best.

Her heart beats fast when she thinks of far,
Of distant lights and shining stars.
A thousand questions fill her mind—
Will she be lost? Will she be kind?

She dreams of skies she’s never seen,
Of

From abroad

They brought us 20 dollars
so we could live better

we spent 100
on feeding them

A Cook Abroad

The best moment 
When you heard appreciation 
With your boss and see their happiness
But it's a saddest moment 
Deep inside thinking of your children 
And hoping you can cook for them too
Hoping that you make them happy 
As you did for them
Of course there's always be a reason 
That you’re doing it for them 
Working

A Letter From Abroad

My heart is happy
A letter came from abroad
From a name Pappy.

It is bruited abroad

There is rumour..Speculation? that old clause 
Has left this station..? And an earthly king is sickening
Is there poision.? Or just nothing? the world stage plays
Seem deserted?? Are their fortunes being introverted?
How about gatesy?  Heard of him lately.?? Is scoros on
The way out.?? I'll like to beleive.' I'td be one good shout!
Are they picking off

Businesses Abroad

Entrepreneurship
Businesses abroad
A family legacy
Children are called.

Real Estate, Restaurants
Commercial Investing, stores 
Employees in the thousands
Much more.

Growth, Faith, a vision is planned.
New, coming soon in this beautiful land.

Emily

I feel cut off
from the world I wish 
to reside in.

No walks 
in the park with my sister 
discussing literature 
and men. No romanticism 

from my mother.
The books my father read 
were standard American 
true crime.

I say not
Hogmanay, but when 
I'm here, I imagine 

walking like the others
with their fathers 
or their brothers.

Does warmth

Studying Abroad - a 'Groaner'

My 20-year-old-son told me
    he had chosen a new 'Study Abroad' program for next semester

  He left me wondering ~
    What was wrong with the broad he'd been studying this past semester?



                

Home Thoughts From Abroad

The half moon shimmered wanly as she wrote
“Dearest, do you realize how much I miss you?
How long will your trip abroad take?
Here I am in empty rich, luxury mansion.
A hovel with you would have been better.
Or perhaps you do not love me anymore?”

Thus the letter arrived in my posh Rome hotel.
I could not help but

Dreams Abroad

Dreams run wild 
Can reach outside your home 
Your view and your heart
Anything outside your home 
May be full of expectations 
And possibilities
Anything not in view 
May be full of hopes
Anything outside your heart 
May be more heartening
So you travel with your dreams
And your knapsack on your back
One day you may be back home
With extra

An Alien Abroad

An Alien abroad.             Another pondering by Michele Angell

I see you have made more changes, wherever I seem to roam,
To this beautifully landscaped  place you lovingly  call home,
It is certainly more efficient, with countless new inventions,
And I know you want the best,

Living Abroad

I saw a boy lost between worries and screams
His Thoughts running like water in streams
Said home he had Cupboards full of dreams
He sighed and said in loneliness I have always cried 
I wondered why, I asked why. 
He said he grew alone meeting his dad once a year 
He said I met him 5 to

Trump Abroad

At first, when he sidestepped the Queen,
A slight that the world had not seen,
We hung our heads low,
Embarrassed, although
Such faux pas have become quite routine.

But the meeting with Putin was worse
For it seemed, when the two would converse,
Someone looked like a chump
And, of course, it was Trump
Who makes things go from bad right to verse!

Nightmare Abroad

Three years have been a lifetime, 
In a place unfathomable-

Met with a gun barrel to the scalp,
Scars cover his back, tortured for freedom,
  Punished for a woman he loves who stands proud with her flame to the sky
        signaling opportunity…

Starved with aching intestines, dreams of Mother’s cornbread,
