Seeking shelter đź’”
Candles are cheerfully glowing thru the windows shining bright
Such a welcoming invitation
 on this cold chilly night
I wonder would they greet her if she turned up at their door
This poor lonely lamb is suffering, her soaking feet are sore
Saturated from the worn-out gaps in her second hand shoes
They are a size too big for her but she didn’t get to choose
Oh how did she end up like this her happy days have slipped away, alas she couldn’t afford to keep the rent up without a job she had no pay
So shivering she snuggles into her scruffy sleeping bag, she feels nausea from scraps she scavenged from beside a bin, she wants to gag
Alcohol is her only comfort
The vodka bottle lay beside her on the ground, she had drank it dry two hours ago when company was around
A couple of other vagabonds had kept her company as they drank their hands were shaking
Yet this tipple was a tonic, it helped alot to ease the aching
Not a habitat for the faint-hearted, hanging around outside in pain
Seeking shelter to stay the night when it’s teaming down with rain

Jill, this is such a sad poem that is brilliantly written. You handle the subject matter with great dignity. You make these people "real" to us, so often the homeless are overlooked as some sub class. What many don't get is that it is extremely easy to find yourself homeless. There is absolutely no safety net for people with no children under 16. Mental health doesnt even come into it sadly. It is all to easy to lose a job these days and anyone over the age of fifty have a terrible time trying to get one. My heart goes out to these poor people. You have worded this poem sooo well and good on you. Can you publish this on a local (to you) facebook page? You have written this so very well . Hugs đź’•x
I have it on my
’Life in verse’ page on facebook as well as Cosmo & Passion of poetry my lovely friend ❤️💕❤️
