Street-Hardened Bum
by David Pekrul
copyright 01-19-2006


Age Rating: 10 to 127

 
Whether I stay here,
Or whether I go,
No one will notice,
And no one will know.

Lost in this city,
Alone in a crowd,
No one can hear, yet
I’m screaming out loud.

Jostled from both sides,
And pushed from behind,
Though they can see me,
They act like they’re blind.

Drops in a puddle,
Is what I’ve become,
Lost in this city,
The whole of the sum.

Living in squalor,
And treated like scum,
All that is left is
A street-hardened bum.

I revised this poem as Roger suggested, but don't know if I made it any better or not. What do you think?
01-19-2006 Roger Crique    

Again, the fluidity and the imagery are superb in this piece. I like the way you have built up the drama and how you bring the whole poem to a climax. The only thing is the last sentence, in the last stanza. I think you need to strengthen it. It appears weaker than the other stanzas.
