Sad Little Houses
Amparo R. Asuncion
The sad little houses, the poor little houses
Crowd by the riverside;
The holes in their roofs, the crack in the walls,
Vainly they try to hide.
The stench of the river, the dark, muddy river
Is with them night and day;
Pure, fresh air may be had for the moving,
But they can't move away.
They can only stand by the bank of the river
Buried knee-deep in clay;
They can only stare at the drifting garbage,
Until they, too, decay.
And pass away into ghost of houses
Killed by a burning sun,
Smothered with dust and then forgotten-
Forgotten by everyone.

What is the heartbeat of a poem?
The heartbeat of a poem. That is a really good question to ask. I write a little poetry myself actually, and i think that poems are all based on your feelings. If you feel sad one day you probably won't write a happy poem. You will write a sad one. Just as if you felt loved, you would write a poem about love. So, a poem isn't a poem unless you have a feeling to it. It all depends on who is writing the poem, and how they feel. Love and Arrows, Erica.
