This is a picture that represents the horrors of war. It is a picture no one wants to acknowledge and a innocent child could be placed in a situation so horrific. Death is a welcome release.

This heartbreaking story is sad by itself but knowing it is true for many children, makes it heart wrenching.
Your masterful story telling is powerful.

You have touched me pretty hard with this one, Everett. It reminds me of the poems that I wrote about the war in Ukraine. I think this is one of your best efforts.

This is another perfect example of you mastery of the rhyming poetic form. I believe there is no poetic form that you cannot master. You are a brilliant poet whose posts serve as exceptional works in a masterclass course of teaching and writing poetry forms.

All the best,

Eugene

Well written. Thought-provoking. The first two stanzas can lead you to think of someone whose home life is not of the best. Sad to say that in today's time, many kids are identifiable in this poem.

This poem sure serves to remind us to count our blessings if we live somewhere that we get three meals a day and then some. Strongest lines: Each shallow gasp the child can take
Produces rattled rales of death;
I guess if I had read this just before our latest neighborhood food drive, I might have doubled a donation.

a very powerful and moving dark poem about a homeless child dying on the streets as passer byes walk on ignoring his cries for help as he takes his last breath.

Such a vivid depiction you've put in the readers mind's eye. Sad, gut wrenching, but an important poem of a reality in places far removed from our mind's eye as I sit on a couch and watch fantasies play out on a television screen. Compassion versus complacency. Blessings around the bend.

Absolutely astounding. You write so eloquently I feel your words etch into my very soul. So profound, so poignant so true and posed so poetically. I have much to learn. Thank you for sharing your talent. J
