He needs a cwtch.

He needs a cwtch.

A Poem by Huw

He gets angry 

but doesn't know why

He punches the planet 

He cries in frustration

He steals 

because he equates 

happiness with possessions

He hits other children 

because he hates their enjoyment

He'll spoils their fun 

because he doesn't 

have any fun himself

He's alone in the rain 

because he can't connect 

with an Xbox he doesn't possess

He can't connect

he's alone 

he's desperate 

he's frightened  

he's angry

He needs a cwtch.

 

(Cwtch is a Welsh word that doesn't translate into English. A dictionary will give you a cupboard or cubbyhole or a cuddle or hug. The term cwtch is far more secure and intimate than these words can convey.)

I've been commenting on someone's drawings for a couple of months and she asked if I was a published poet. It made me laugh because I'd left school at 13 years old and never completed formal education.. more..
