Great picture of the way I get around for most of the time...
But come on now Lorna - you just wouldn\'t survive if open and vulnerable in your interactions with all and sundry. Fold the cloak up and put it away only when it is safe to do so.

My Dear Lorna,
As I read your poem, it reminded me of the times I would hear my great grandmother say,
‘…rido per non piangere…’
(I laugh to keep from crying).
As a youngster, I never understood what she meant. Well I certainly do now. Your pic is a perfect ‘show and tell’ of a ‘heavy heart’.
Thank you for sharing.

I know well that feeling of living behind a protective mask where intrusion is not wanted nor entertained..... my poetry is me unmasked.

Good words Lorna.
In this world where many have so much but will not help others who have nothing is so appalling.
Every week when I went into town I used to talk to a guy sitting on the street and would give him some money but there was no ways that I could pull him out from the awful position he was in, there are many who allegedly govern us who could help him.

Every Government highlights homelessness when they want elected. Sadly, they seem to forget that promise when they get into power.

Quite emotive write dear Lorna

This is a sad reflection on the type of society we exist in. A situation that just will not go away and the reasons people live like this are hugely varied. There is no easy solution. They exist in a dangerous sub culture with its own rules and savage punishments.
In my tender years I became homeless and for several months lived on the streets sleeping wherever. There are heroes and villans, just as in all society.

Loaded with so many unasked questions, mainly though, how we live with ourselves as a society... Burning questions in those lines attempting to drown guilt and shame. A humane favorite.

It ain\'t easy out there, Lorna - should be on everyone\'s mind, not just yours.
Political systems are brutal - even in our so called Liberal Democracies.
Neat write.

\'Pull my hat low over my eyes
To hide the ever present shame
That takes on a persona all its own
If I add
to this, my overflowing tears
To those
you no longer think, to weep
Would that take away: my guilt\'..
Brilliant!

Lovely, your words are like a light dance upon the carpet of white.
I wonder what surprises climate change will bring us this season. Better not put those dancing shoes away yet.
