The coalition on homelessness in San Francisco publishes the “Street Sheet” newspaper, which is then sold by homeless folk, who earn money this way. The last issue is all devoted to poetry, written by SF homeless population and probably by coalition volunteer stuff. Here are a couple of poems I like. The homeless Ten men clamber out of the creaking van, Don Foran One check away twinkling stars cant keep you warm

Re: Homeless poetry
One Day (Harry O)
I ain't lonely, I just live on my own
I ain't homeless, I just ain't got a home
I ain't alcoholic I just drink what we got
I ain't lost, I just don't know the way
I ain't saying nothing else
Because i don't know what to say
But one day....

It's not a lark sleeping in the parl as you go walking by
Though i'm praying for my wings
s you look, with your blind eye. FOr who gives homes to garden gnomes
While their brothers and sisters cry
So give us a break for heaven's sake Because we're not made of stone And you know the world will be a better place When everyone has a home

A doplet of rain falls from the sky. As i mingle with passers by. And i simply relax my poor old brain. As the traffic is on the move again.
This is the start of a perfect day. The city is just ten miles away. And i think of the joy a nice walk brings. To the heart of a boy as the blackbird sings.
I slept in peace all through the night. With some anada geese on internal flight. And another mile has slipped on by. In the easy style of a winking eye.
Well my body parts are all on the move. And my beating heart's right in the groove. And when i arrive i'll have biscuits and tea. Great god i'm alive oh lucky me.

I really like this poem a lot. It is not only explaining the hardship of being homeless, but in detail as well. I like when poets have detail because i know a lot more of where the person is coming from. Very nice. Keep writing.

being homeless is like feeling your an ant no one cares no one loves people love stepping on you but if you thought about how it feels staying one night you would kill yourself people i recovered from being a (as they say whino) so can everyone who shared night with the concrete be wise and care for your self

http://www.SpareSomeChange.com is the homelessness search engine where you can find resources by state or custom query. Please give this web address to panhandlers and homeless people (they can use free computer/internet at the library). Also, please submit any homeless related websites/URLs so that others may find the help that they need.

What has happened.....they ask when they see me.......I am homeless......they think I did it to myself..........they think I am scum to be put on a shelf........A shelf of denial....a shelf of of pain.......They look down on me as I stand in the rain......For I once too had what you had.........A job , a car, a family too....but that was all taken by no one , not even you.......for I came from the bottom and worked my way too the top.......then by no fault of my own it had to drop.......So here i am as I stand in the rain.....you can look upon me with all the pain.......for no one is safe from this one disease.....Homelessness can happen as fast as you can sneeze......So the next time you see me on the street threadbare, just remember not to judge me for we all can be here...........

your peoms are pretty good, but how about mine?
(Homeless Child)
I sit, cold and alone on the street,
Eyeing a piece of dog chewed meat.
Five days I haven't had a bit to eat
My stomach aches, my body's weak.
The wind that rustles through the trees,
Pierces my skin, and all warmth flees.
I find shelter with my brother,
Lying in the open next to each other.
The world has says it cares,
But in reality no one dares.
The site of me makes them sick.
It’s an appearance I do not pick.
Please, give me aid,
Or from this life
I soon will fade.

It's cold out here, still and quiet
buisy city streets can't do a thing,
had a blanket and some stew, now
there's nothing to do...
There's an uptown scamp on 4rth,
makes 40 an hour...
And an uptown thiefs on 5th,
does the same thing.
I'll sit right here,
and if i don't freeze,
if i don't die,
maybe some day i'll...
Have a piece of pie.

RUNAWAY KIDS
Runaway kids miles from home live
in boxes and doorways of Britain’s capital city.
Walking the streets like wily old
Foxes, searching for food and people to take pity.
Begging in subways and busy street corners
To feed their bellies and addicted minds
Abused and accused young juvenile
Loners, prostitutes, rent boys and other mixed kinds.
Round their little fires they ponder
Their life, while a drunken tramp
Sings a sad song.
Guarding their patch with a blade
of a knife, stabbing intruders as if
nothing’s wrong.
