please excuse this as i posted by accident on the open poetry 26 last night. i meant to post it here as it is you my friends i wished to share it with, hugs from june xxxxxxxxxxxxx In cornflaked coloured cardigan Hair matted and iron grey Shuffling along aimlessly She haunts the streets by day Dragging a battered trolley Its shade is long forgotten Shiny from all the layers of grime threadbare along the bottom She seems intent to study her path Sifting through tangles of litter Stooping to rescue tiny scraps Of anything that seems to glitter They laugh at her and call her names Cruel to this wizzened old lady No one seems to care at all Or question why she is crazy Long ago when things looked bleak Life had nothing left to give her She heard someone say if she looked hard enough every cloud was lined with silver So every dawn her quest begins For as long as the sun remains shining Her crooked old body just trundles along In search of her silver lining. |
