In the alley
Behind the diner
Between garbage cans
And stray cats
Cigarette butts
And broken glass
There's a whole world
Of broken dreams...

as important
as it is eloquent, a great write!
(an issue
that we lucky few, need
to be reminded of, especially
at this - gifting, Time of year
indeed:
'let us share
our empathy, as we do
our wallets...')
Yes, yes... that empathy... without it the wallets we share mean nothing.
Great 'gritty side of life' poetry.
Thanks 🙂
Probably not just the diner, either, the gutter is never faraway in the land of broken dreams.
Sadly yes..
Thats exactly what i wanted this piece to convey... "the other side of the coin"... everybody is so wrapped up in themselves that nobody even stops to think about those who live that life... people throw them a few coins or old clothes and think its done... but no, they still suffer.. they still dream.. just like we do... but their dreams just get smothered and choked inside their heads...
I love this!! I have such a picture in my mind from these words. Well done
Im glad you like it 🙂
A lovely though sad brevity with powerful words. You’ve uniquely captured an entire world in this.
Thank you so much for liking it 🙂
