About the gloominess of heartless Melbourne)

My 4th such poem.

I don’t seem to be able to get away from the awfulness of Melbourne’s west.

An unusual form of poem, the diamante, this is just my second such poem.

In general, certain festivals are celebrated all over the world, but the poor are unable to take part in them on account of extreme poverty, unemployment, and fear of terrorist attacks.

A descriptive narrative portraying Indian slums.
