Poems About Homelessness by Top Critiquers

Vegan Café Blues Haiku Octet

ghost summoned
from ancient labyrinth
Hendrix flame

blue string
beaded in fire
Jimi on guitar

brujo
strums blue guitar
voodoo eclipse

voodoo guitar
jams black magic concert
rocks house of usher

blue Latina
grooves Guadalajara
on neon nirvana

felt coat hobo
crowned in stovepipe hat
king of bourbon street

Marie Laveau
in her midnight labyrinth
séance

smoky rhythm
of boudoir blues
Venus rites

Winter Waits for her time to bite
A crouching Lioness
In frozen winds
Belly to the arctic waves
Starved and waiting
To strike at the painted land
Painted by Autumn's golden Hands
She Preys on those
Without a future
Without a past

She got down on
her knees and
begged God to
say why he kicked
her out of Heaven.
