On The Street

Roll out drawers
filling cabinets
of dreams
with only
toe tags
to break
the anonymity
of death.

    Always a fan of short poetry, and Vince did not disappoint me here with this brilliantly crafted poem "On The Street"!

    He packed a HUGE (message/messages) within this small poem.. It made me think of a war torn country, facing the devastation of death, hunger, and horrific events and it even gave me the feeling of how depression itself can consume you, so I was taken by this poem with the many angles..

    The wording, and display was wonderful.. A gem of a poem here!!

    I got a very clear and distinct picture of a morgue! In just a few words the feeling and picture you have created is one of loneliness and at the same time the fact of life. Congrats on the win!
