| A Freak's Blues (p.9) by Joseph Powell I They think I don't know That they talk about me behind my back Or they don't care. And it doesn't matter Really. I am what I am A freak without form or comeliness that others would be attracted to; An anomaly of God's; the subject of books written by the likes of Hugo and Shelley; An abomination in the eyes of those who would deem themselves beautiful. |

| Powell's poem "On Quill St." is nominated Best Poem of th Year 2004 by Muses Review |
| II Hideous, unknowable, unlovable, what fair creature would ever dare to discover the love I possess in my heart; the sorrow that grips my soul; the anguish that haunts my dreams; would dare to look past the ugliness to see the saint within; the kindly lover; the passionate poet; the real beauty of me. III I believe heaven weeps for those who are deemed unworthy of love, unworthy of knowing as I stand in the shadows and await those tears to fall and comfort me. |
