Wink Date: Sunday, 2nd May 2004 @ 06:01:35 PM AEST Topic: Sad Poetry Contributed By: merry _______________ Rough as the streets he lives on Wanders day and night alone Philosopher in a ragged coat He charms his way into the soul Steel trap memory he sets To catch you by the tongue As you trip over your own words Trying to outwit and outrun This streetwise truth-seeker Knows what hard times are about And with his cat, Calamity They wink and blink and nod An in the twitch of a whisker They are gone This poem is Copyright © merry Important note: ALL POETRY ON THIS SITE IS COPYRIGHT.
