Dispossessed soul
sweeps cardboard house.
War's upheaval,
traumatizes elderly mind
Author notes
Ravages of war came to my mind as some are found homeless....This short write characterizes the life of some in war's upheaval.

This is beautifully written Sis
The image of words spoken and you have shared how homelessness effects
and reflects the harshness
Well done

Such a short and meaningful verse. I could see the many thoughts in between these four lines. War is never a good thing, all it brings is sadness, violence and heart ache and nothing good behind. Best of luck in the contest, dear.
Love

A good short poem here, such great thought are hidden within your lines. I don't like war but defend is a must when enemy attack your beloved country and land. Then it becomes a holy task for everyone.
Thank you for the good poem and I wish you luck in the contest

What once enters the mind can never leave it, but we tend to control it through our choice of living in the past or living in today. It's impossible to do both...
Guilt can be as big a crutch as denial is, but we can do nothing to change what has
been only what is to come...

a good piece of poetry which you have presented here, it captures with sorrow, the spaces in between the streets where people's eyes avoid but know are there, flapping in the einds of society's horrified looks.
