[bodytext] => I live in Mr. Roger’s neighborhood But the water doesn’t taste so sweet I am trapped in an oasis of trees Yet the bare branches have shed their leaves I live in a home far above my means A high-rise apartment in the sky I glance down on those who breathe Whistling a tune as they stroll by I am part of a community Yet the whole ignores the few Classified in the minority No one cares to hear my view My neighbors are cruel The postman forgets my bank loan The butcher shop in town Dumps its trash on my front lawn I live in paradise But the walls have been torn I reside in the infestation of mice I am doomed to become forlorn I live alone Pitiful me I chew my last bone Like a dog in the street This Garden of Eden Is deceptive in appearance This neighborhood of heaven Begs no adherence The citizens of this kingdom Take its beauty for granted The mayor of this city Is being held for ransom The landscaper cuts and trims Each blade of grass with care A telephone pole climber Connects the wiring in a prompt repair The heavy duty crane operator Constructing his masterpiece of brick The volunteer doctor Treating the poor and sick A beautiful day In this neighborhood If I could only manage a smile I have no doubt I would Mr. Rogers has just passed away His casket is being marched Right at this moment Through the Love Parade on Broadway [comments] => 1 [counter] => 160 [topic] => 43 [informant] => jyssvw [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 5 [ratings] => 1 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => oops )

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
