Rooms

By Scott Bailey © 2015

Shacks stacked
Corrugated walls
Tetering high
Rambling high

Shambling streets
Congested flesh
Diluted souls
Wasted lives

One hundred
Million dollars
Empty rooms
Cloudy palace

Rooms

Poem a day challenge #322 (The Gap)

The Gap

By Scott Bailey © 2014

Two esteemed academics
In high-definition
In a stately home
Discussing Disraeli

Meanwhile
In another land
Another world
A young girl awakes
In the slum
Steels herself
For another long day of work
Man after man after man

And in between the two?

Poem a day challenge #258 (Water Water Everywhere)

Water Water Everywhere

By Scott Bailey © 2014

The rich man on Thames has a sunken garden
Water so deep the duck house has floated
Away
So now
Money is no object for their relief
And the satirists
Whet their knives
