Footpath Sweeper

       In rapid  succession, I jab my push-broom
 Through footpath in which I walk life..."ch..ch..ch"
     Clearing debris, so when i'm barefoot, I don't...

- the Chimney Sweeper -

      In days gone by, people said the pipe cleaner
      or the black wandering man
      with shackles and dirty brushes

      When he arrived at the house
      in Grand Street number

The Young Sweeper

I see her very early in the morning daily.                                  She is a young sweeper with blue uniform properly.

The Falling Leaves

I saw leaves falling
And I noticed months had passed
I saw a lot of leaves falling
And I knew the weather was very dry
I heard the leaves
Sobbing under my feet
And I knew they were feeling
So sad to say goodbye
To the greenery of the neighbourhood
Then I saw a lot of leaves 
Blew away by a sudden strong wind
Then

The Chimney Sweeper

The Chimney Sweeper   
  
  by Anna O’Hora-Bimbot

Do you know somebody like me?

Covered in soot
Tired and weary
Nobody to care for me “deary”
I travel by foot

I pull myself up
Before the day turns to dawn
I shiver and shake
Stomach rumbling, I yawn

I keep my mouth shut
And I follow my boss
High on the roof tops
I’m

Sweeper Extraordinaire

Aye happy to be called  big Billy's sidekick
Clearing up the mess  ,if Billy failed to do the trick
Always calm and controlled,never showy
He quietly contributed to Celtic's glory
Short in stature,big of heart
He surely played a Lion's part
Never one for the starring role
Keeping the defence safe his guiding goal
Clearly the best supporting act
With Billy that

The Dream Sweeper

I’m freedom’s beckoning call light as air, an elemental being
Set adrift beyond the universal light beam, a speeding
Bullet shifting, suspended by my own spiritual uplifts
Bending in the stratosphere by raw forces
Gravitational pull.
A streaming particle of matter flowing in the
Mystical elemental current of my own existence,
Untethered I’ve cut the silvery threads of the
Timeless, a creature of

Brother, Garbage Sweeper

Brother, garbage sweeper,
Don’t sweep anyone’s hopes away
They’ve tossed into the streets... 
Tears, you know,
Cannot smudge
Our Avenues...
Folks on the whole
Keep their regrets
All bottled up...
No you can’t guess
How they feel
When they don’t go outside...
Those garbage pails
You’ve emptied out for years
And years and years, are mute
Witness to your feelings...
So why allow anyone
Who thinks only of his stomach
To bother
