Hang Flowers From Light Posts Poem by Uriah Hamilton

Hang Flowers From Light Posts

Rating: 5.0


I tremble
In the midnight rain,
Shiver on solitary streets,
Dream of poetic ladies,
Welcoming nudity,
Perfumed beds,
Kisses sweet as plums,
But only see stray dogs
And abandoned newspapers
Too depressing
For even hustlers
And cutthroats to read.
I wish the civic authorities
Would hang flowers
From light posts,
I’d pray and go home.

Uriah, only a true poet would have as a wish those flowers hanging from light posts. Put them in your mind, Uriah, and they will always be there for you. Raynette

Uriah, I love how you always make us see how you are searching for beauty and happiness even though you seem to find yourself surrounded by loneliness. Keep searching Uriah....you'll find it. Sincerely, Mary
