Crushed

crushed, cold, hungry and homeless 🤍 for all those without roofs over their heads this winter ..

Crushed

 

gentle walk in snow

white crunches beneath both feet

snail shells break quietness

 

Author's Note

ignore grammar probs but dig deep into pockets before passing official homeless collecting personnel .. the giving of practical things like a hot drinks, food and toiletries are often safer & more sensible to give than cash handouts .. cheers & a merry run up to Xmas to all ..

Neville, your poem is beautifully simple and poignant. The imagery of walking in the snow and the sound of the crunch beneath the feet evoke a deep sense of isolation and struggle. The line 'snail shells break quietness' stands out, as it captures the fragility of life in a profound way. It’s a moving piece that makes the reader pause and reflect on those who are facing hardship, especially in the winter months. Thank you for sharing this work—it's a powerful reminder of the importance of compassion.

That should be the saying on all Christmas cards mate, alongside "merry commercial exploitation of a once meaningful occasion" on opening the card!
