Welcome advice John. I like the lingering at the end of the lines, giving weight to more ponderings. The idea of a circle is fundamental and could contain its own universality.

Sheesh forgot to go and check
The baby registry
Before proclaiming you were bred
Here in Australee

I thought that summers here were hot
But Blythe did prove me wrong
'Tis wonder you're not frizzled up
Let's sing a desert song

Yes, a sad image of today.
My favourite 'poem' on homelessness has always been a song: 'Streets of London' by Ralph McTell. It's also the sound of my youth both listening and singing in a circle with friends:

Hee-Hee! Yes, amusing thought, Cynthia. Lots of fun.

And No, Don I was born in Blythe, grew up in Africa and have spent only 45 years here in Oz - oh except a short 18 months in the cradle of storytelling 15 years ago.

Both Australian bred
Let me reassure you Cynth
We both stand on our head

You don't believe me do you?
Oh ye of little faith

Now you who live 'up over'
I cannot understand
How standing on your feet all day
Can make life oh so grand?

Get away from real world
LMS's Park
Imagination full of
Hear it's Roller, hark?...

Ding....ding...ding.....

They never will stop asking
Come join their happy crowd
They're really just a subgroup
Subgroup of Write Out Loud

Corona is too frightened
To enter through its gate
But WOLers don't be frightened
Get in before too late

I am a little 'rona bug
Yum! WOLers are a treat
Don't run and hide in LM Park
Cos then I can't you eat

Ugh! Very unpleasantly descriptive. I saw a cat once on the motorway that had been hit the first time and was just waiting............ I did stop to see if I could get it, but it was either him or me, so........ I've always felt sligjhtly ashamed of this.

It is a fact that "it's" abbreviates a position
And that "its" portrays possession.
No cause is served by adding confusion
By mixing them up in grammatical delusion. ..

Hi Cynthia, thank you for your comment. I could go into tons of detail about the meaning behind it but sometimes I think a poem is best left unpicked, thus I shall leave you to interpret it how you choose.
Thanks again for reading,

Bold and challenging words, Tom, and very well put. Keep working; you are developing a major contribution, especially to your own life.

I'll probably never meet such stern criteria. Doesn't mean I can't admire it in others. Although, being called 'strange' has actually happened to me. 'Strange' is a fabulous word, full of variations on a theme.

The line about people who are walking antennas really resonated with me, I was coincidentally just thinking of this yesterday when I was doing yoga. Yep embrace the strangeness, we've all got it somewhere in our being...it'd be strange if we didn't?
