PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

.

Charity, begun at home,

is lean at home too. Want

becomes need, need

becomes none.

.

Thou shall nots

will hold us a while

until the baby's cries

drive open the fear

that aches.

.

Desperation begins

at home, shelves bare,

no ham and eggs or steak

and bread, no juice, no

milk, no gas.

.

Charity was last seen

at the bottom of an empty

abandoned car's gas tank.

The mind cintracts on well

wishes while dreams evaporate.

It is raining and neither

windshield wiper works.
