Homeless

In old rags
Biting cold winter night
Sleeping in footpath
Under open sky
Uncared for
Abandoned
No emotions ~
Only Silence

Vulture

You have shown me
Truly
What it means 
To be a vulture amongst mourning doves
To witness pain, 
Absolute and final,
And feel only hunger 
Gnawing with merciless lust, are we 
On the skin
On delicacies uncared for
With no regard for what once was 
Only what can now be

Premium Member Disingenuous

  
     The stale residue of words 
        unlinked, unloved, uncared for

     Like crackers on parched tongues
        do no service to literature 

    Image-less, rotting in place 
        in letter segregation disintegrate

    No one to protest their abuse
        their ashes fit no urn

Door To Love

What lies behind it, Dare I take a look and see. Looks very old, uncared for, What secrets does it hide, Nothing here but a broken heart Left bruised and broken Lonely without hope and love Now firmly locked and bolted Key thrown away for good No one can cross the threshold now. Penned July 18 2014 by Seren Roberts Contest: Door to a Wayra - Nette Onclaud

Premium Member Abandoned and Forgotten

Furious females take to the streets, shouting
   Staid matrons join them, newly doubting

Angry young males overturn cars, defiant
   Older men surrender their values, and riot

Lawyerly senators attack each other, at virtual war
   As the issues that really matter, go uncared for

Civility is abandoned, all but forgotten
   A nation's lifeblood tainted, utterly rotten

It's Time To

My body flips me off and I fall down
Into the sunburnt grass;
It's telling me “It’s time to sleep!
Just look how good this bed of
Uncared for dirt appears in the
Afternoon shade?
Pray, tell me why you will not
Dream now when your
Dorm room didn't catch a wink?”
And I smile at its
Upturned two middle fingers and say,
“Well body, it's actually time to write for me.”

Premium Member Psalm

Pour down the waters, May they fall over The sanctuary so it May flower abundantly. May the fruit it bear Belong to you The honey it produces Be sweeter than most. May the territorial waters Live like a spirit, Roaming over the earth Like liberated winds. I am the sad sanctuary Untamed and uncared for, Waiting for the gardner To come and tend to it.

Hanging In There

Unseen 
Uncared for
Left crying on the floor
All but wanting more

Dismissed 
Don't care
Death called out
Holding in its hand

Walking alongside the dim
Numbing to the blade
Thinking it as if it were yesterday 
But it's always today

Back burner broke
Resorting to outlets
Didn't think twice to repair
Or to mend

It's fine
You'll see
When she's hanging 
Outside the corktree.

Premium Member Ugly Words

bland, plain, simple, uncaring, unkind
These are ugly words
spinster, old maid, crone, hag, these are ugly words
blah, dribble, drip, droopy, dreary, depressing 
Do I have to say it?

gray, tan, unclean, unkempt, uncared for, unloved
these are ugly words
words that hurt, maim, kill, bruise and make people cry
idiot, dummy, despicable, unwanted

any words that make you feel less than yourself
words that make someone cry 
These are ugly words

Premium Member Resolutions

RESOLUTIONS

my resolutions?
i don’t dare think how many
so?  won’t make any

two thousand thirteen
will come with january
fade – february

just like all the rest
predictions are numerous
cartoons humorous

politicians bad
the voters all up in arms
sick of d.c. charms

prices going up
wages quite stationary
unemployed many

uncared for homeless
with their numbers increasing
and rich desisting

i’ll sit by and watch
expectations will be few
all in all what’s new?
