Vagabonds Poems - Poems about Vagabonds


Without a Door
Footsteps fade where sidewalks end, stories told in weathered skin. Cardboard kingdoms, borrowed ground, a life unseen, without a sound. The city hums, its lights embrace, yet shadows slip between its grace. Hands once held, now pockets bare, eyes that search, but find no stare. The wind knows names the world forgets, whispers woven in regrets. A resting place beneath the sky— another night, still asking...

A Moonlit Night
The peeping stars steal the winning smiles of the moon at the earth draped in its gilt, like a pen takes control of heavy minds. Midnight hours stroll in the murmuring silence of the crickets, like faint leaves in autumn end strewn on shriveled pathways; or atoms of unused talent in the bare furrows of mind.

Vagabonds
Verdigris on bronze viv anchors in mud’s delta. Grim steps keep going… A strange fear: the sea, biting like thorny scrub… On salty tears, a rodeo nimbly rides, life’s pain death-dusting the land… Still seeking a fortress? (12/30/20: ’98 Carver Mariner 350 DMS)...

Premium Member Victory For Vagabonds
Victory for Vagabonds You might call them vagabonds displaced ones from fiery lands wading in a watery wilderness of hatred, scorn and grief. You might find them on the street sleep upon a subway grate with bags in loads piled in a cart, the refugees of better days. You could call them freedom travelers left without a resting shoulder when the music’s playing stopped, looking for a...

Vagabonds – the lost Avatars Virtual Vagabonds, avatars lost amid the teeming Ethernet, signal searchers illuminated in the blue light of emptiness Hobos of a cordless conga line falling in and out of “bars” fevered followers worshiping at the altars of the asinine Homeless thoughts adrift in an itinerant infinity collide with freelance feelings weeping in crowded solitude “Screenbound” globetrotters hiking the world’s keyboards wayfarers without wires confined to their seats “Life”,...
