Homeless and Hurricane Two poems by Hal Schick
Copyright © 2010 by Gamehinge Homeless Copyright © 2010 by Gamehinge Poor is a lonely man Hanging around doorways Looking for a handout Hoping for better days.
Holes in the soles of her shoes Wandering down the sidewalk Poor is a tired woman Holes in the soles of her shoes Wandering down the sidewalk Hoping to escape the blues. Copyright © 2010 by Gamehinge
Poor is a hungry child Trying to keep warm Hoping to find shelter From the coming storm. Copyright © 2010 by Gamehinge
Poor is a rickety house Without any locks A windy and rainy night In a cardboard box. Copyright © 2010 by Gamehinge

Hard rain falling Buildings shaking Windows breaking People leaving People staying Everybody’s scared Copyright © 2010 by Gamehinge
Everything’s breaking Fierce winds blowing Breaking walls Breaking doors Breaking ceilings Breaking floors Everything’s breaking Copyright © 2010 by Gamehinge
Everything’s floating Big waves crashing Floating tables Floating chairs TVs and books Floating everywhere Everything’s floating Copyright © 2010 by Gamehinge
Dark waters rising Drowning cats Drowning dogs Cow on a rooftop People floating Drowning everywhere Copyright © 2010 by Gamehinge
