Poverty And Doorways Poem by Douglas Scotney
Poverty And Doorways
Confused though I am
as to which came before,
which second,
the door or the poor,
'dervish'
must have meant 'doorway' alone
before 'dervish' meant 'poor man' too,
I reckoned.
my Chambers (dictionary)says 'dervish' is Persian for 'poor man'.
An interesting write words can be confusing or have different meanings I love the parallel. poor and doorway poor huddles in door way circular words great job enjoyed
You did thorough research to write this. I too have often wondered about the word 'dervish'.
The door of the poor confuses. This poem is very thought provoking and amazingly penned.10
