The Wandering Man - Homeless Poem by Yvonne Rautenbach

The Wandering Man - Homeless

Rating: 5.0


Wandering man dreams of a place
with no demands yet no disgrace
with nice clean sheets, a fragrant pillow,
Wills that bend around like willow
Settle him and he displaces
You demand and he disgraces...
Oh the sadness on our faces
he would not let us tie his laces!
Preferred old shoes which leaked in places
Left a tidemark on the pillow
burnt out element in the 'grillo'
Wandering man he leaves each place
Bent and buckled like his face.

I wonder he is homeless but deep down he is a person who want a friend and he will have one ^.^
