Your poem accentuates the sad reality that the homeless endure. When I read your poem I felt a deep sadness for people with no-where to rest up, kick back and enjoy the fruits of having your own space to call home. To be moved along by people and weather is so disheartening. What chance is there of getting a job if you showed up in rags and had no abode to return home to shower and change?

Your beautifully penned poem gives the cold hard facts of how it is for these poor souls with nowhere to go and no place to call home...10+++

A sad and beautifully thought out poem with a good rhythm. I saw your Limerick under one of Valsa's poems and thought I'd have a nosy at yours. Glad I did. This is really good.
