(376) Turbulent Crippled Emotions (Part One) Poem by Melvina Germain
(376) Turbulent Crippled Emotions (Part One)
A work of art is not shown here,
yard created by queen of despair.
She rules the insane in great capacity.
Fearful as it were, her tenacity.
Children make fun at her expense,
not looking beyond the tattered fence.
What turmoil has befallen this lady.
A cruel offense created her insanity.
She harbors, confused emotions true.
A yard full of things old and new.
30 cats,6 dogs an elk or two,
no, no, this is not the Calgary zoo.
Her mind filled with constant array,
yard disheveled in loud display.
She defends her right to live this way.
A big ya-hoo, a loud hoo-ray.
The city appears, with disbelief,
while neighbors peek, across the street.
An order is written, tear it down.
Poor lady wears a hurtful frown.
She obeyed the city’s rule,
though she thought it very cruel.
Now she harbors thoughts of hate.
Soon she will build a brand new gate.
Now now Frank, a lot of us are still patiently waiting for Crow V..........anticipating the next chill and thrill of the saga............Melvina, interesting write you have started here, have to agree with Frank regarding what's fair to the majority but can also sympathize with the lady in question to a point, but now that she's harboring hate along with everything else it's a little scary to think just what this brand new gate will bring.......Diane
Excellent write, Melvina... people need to be more understanding and less judgmental. I look forward to its conclusion! Brian
Melvina, this poem reminded me of a woman in England who used to buy tons of bird food to feed the wild birds in her garden. So many people complained about her to the local authorities that they took her to court. She was banned from feeding the birds. However she still continued, but not with so much food. You captured the feeling beautifully. Keep writing and I'll keep reading. David
Yet this doth be a great writful lit.... Read by one and all every little bit. This piece be given by me a grateful ten... Glad that yee had weilded thy pen. I gotta say i enjoyed readin' this poem. God bless all poets-MJG.

Love this narrative. Very entertaining and insightful as well.
Good subject matter to cover as noone unfortunately talks about the reasons some people become who they become! People are always standing back peering into others worlds and pointing a finger...maybe this will make people think about how hurtful it would be to be the character in the poem... Great imagery and emotions expressed........... Take care of U and I look forward to reading part two of this saga! ! ! *Shelley*
I was going to say the same as Andrew. Oddly he and I are almost neighbours! I think it's sad that people who buck against the 'norm' are treated with derision. Maybe she doesn't know she's different? Ez
That was simply great! Very good work and I like how you did the be continued.
