You've made my golden Dreams come true..' For He took my rags and gave back Riches, now my destiny is up to you.' My clothes may...

The call came when the clock struck at midnight Cinder's ran quickly as she could, in fright Before her best dress Became repossessed As her fairy godmother said it might. It...

Rags and Riches
"On the right is the poor, on the left the rich, in between a road to nowhere" When they said that you haven't truly lived life It's true if you've been only on one part of the divide While the divide is small, it's also big For how can you explain the huge disparity One wakes up with...

From Rags To Riches
A pauper begs at the town gate and sets, each day, a date with fate. He harbours dreams where riches flow but morning finds him on skid row. ------------------------------------------ Killing With an Epigram Poetry Contest Sponsored by Margarita Lillico Placed 2nd 28th April, 2022...

From Rags To Riches
"From rags to riches " From rages to riches. I used to be Lazarus, they threw bread crumbs at me like a church mouse, l had no choice but to take what l could.... As l begged for pennies, some would laugh at me, spit at me and ridicule me. Getting satisfaction at the pain and suffering of...

Rags and Riches
Deep blue, almost black, sadness. Being, my ache of existence. Eyes, no body in focus. A grey cloud rowing the moon amidst red stars. Bronzed tongue digs the spirit out of flesh behind the shadows. Alone me in unlived house of rags, looking beyond the walls other side of tomorrow. SATISH VERMA...
