Street Scenes

#1 Post by Bernie01 » 07 Mar 2018, 10:18

Street Scenes

Many are broken,
uneven on their feet,
nameless, homeless
passing along streets.

A violin sounds,
the sun turns away.

Winter beats
put down
by Notorious B.I.G.

In the city, or worse.
And the crazy.
Imagine,
Oscar Wilde,
driven half mad,
the crime, the name
we dare not speak,
a witness maid
saw fecal smears
on the sheets,
he disappeared
into London’s
Gaol, two years,
made to bathe
in dirty water.

I’m enjoying this... I would replace winter in the city with an image. I especially like the last stanza
