Tired by  paucity of life
I feel my soul turn yellow
the lack that weakens me so
it makes the pain even worse......

Hiding from each other 
your prosperity.
I wanted to remain a fakir.

        *

This was the faith 
in its truest sense. I wanted 
to live in childhood paucity.

        *

Like the first letter
I wrote to you, I am
sending you a poem.

Negative comments depict a lack of respect
PS Admin protects poets, and they object
By saying that's a no no
Don't be a cause of woe
Defiance shows a paucity of intellect

Others have offered this as a piece of advice
"If it's not your nature to write something nice,  
write nothing at all"
'Cause rude words appall
Don't make Poetry Soup a fool's paradise...

Every drop of water counts ... since there is a scarcity,
the world appears to be out of bounds and parity.
What if ... water and meals are at the verge of paucity?
suddenly ... the equilibrium steadiness is exhausted,
proceed to battle and let our kids starve comported.

The youthful beauty of an unlined face
Is like the crispness of an unturned page,
Unsullied by the use that lies ahead.
A book to show its worth must have been read.
That glowing youthful beauty so alive
Needs sustenance of virtue to survive.
The trials of life will leave a bitter trail
Where paucity of goodness does prevail.
Lovely the face where beauty dwells within,
Nor time, nor fate, can ere its radiance dim.
