Alone and Cold

• Artist: nadinerater
• Description: I wrote this just over an hour ago whilst waiting on my bus.... which didnt come, had to wait on the next one. Im like drenched to the skin! Whilst standing getting soaked it came into my head how others where worse off etc. This poem focuses on how unsympathetic and uncaring us humans can be through the eyes of a homeless girl. Short and not great but its been forever since ive written.

Alone and Cold

Alone and cold, Dripping and wet
So close to death, but not there yet

People walk past, people look down
They tut, they sigh and others just frown

How did she get here? Why did nobody care?
She had nothing and noone, yet nobody shared

No money, no shelter, no food and no aid
All she had was old and decayed

This be the trauma of a person alone
No money, no family, no love and no home...

Thankyou so much for your comment and rating smile I find rhyming brings across the images better and helps it appeal to more audiences. I like my writing to flow. Im glad you liked it XD

Amazing, how you framed this image so perfectly.
Its kind of a comic relief how you made it rhyme (I havent been reading much rhyming things lately), but I especially love the simplicity of it. Awesome piece, I think you portrayed these isolated feelings very well.
Five stars, definately.
