Welcome to Poetic Licence 鈥� a weekly poetry forum, hosted by us, featuring words by local poets. This week? P.M. Jang
The Violinist
on the corner near the entrance to
the department store
a young woman with red and
yellow hair earrings like diamonds
painted eyes closed
for dreaming
she wears lace and shorts
and bold striped stockings
clothes combined for clashing
unlike the music she intently
plays
for tinkling coins to
come her way
the open case beseeches
the music begs offers
provides on this grey pavement
joy anguish grief and longing
P.M. Jang has lived in the West End now for a little more than a decade, and is the author of the self-published eBooks and , a short story collection.
