Two new poems and a note

“Homes” by yours truly

Writing poems

For children from broken homes.

Don’t hurt gnomes,

Or they could end up in tombs.

“Hey buddy, that last line doesn’t really rhyme.”

“Skull” by yours truly

Cracked your skull,

But don’t be dull.,

You might still annul,

Or just mull.

And into the dark light

Feel the pull.

“Torn” by yours truly

It’s a torn drawing of me.

Something ripped of part of me in the image.

It was an ear (like’ Van Gogh).

But can still mostly hear.

Thanks to that street artist who brought me near.

He made me look better than I really appear.

Note

There is song I like callled “Torn” originally by a Norwegian-American pop singer named Trine Rein in about 1990 and sometime later in cover version by the Australian singer Natalie Imbroglio. You can find both on YouTube. I think they are both good.
