Dr. David R.Huff attended the 2008 22nd Annual Poetry Convention and Symposium hosted by The International Society of Poets in conjunction with International Library of Poetry, Poetry.com, and Watermark Press.
Dr. Huff displayed has poem "A Wasted Life":
The yellow star slowly emerges above the mound of vanity
Fetid vapors of forgotten objects assault the nose
existing in the rotting world, shadows of small humanity
Waste foragers consigned to relieving family woes
All live for the next treasure truck to belch its collection
The material jungle drones on without the slightest clue
Castoff luxuries all stored in lines of plastic barrels
Cans and broken fetishes are the only objects of value
None notice when a child dies among the mound's perils
A life of lost value destined to find others waste
Castoff luxuries all stored in lines of plastic barrels
It is time for the truth to be faced
The yellow star slowly emerges above the mound of vanity
A life of lost value destined to find other's waste
Existing in the rotting world, shadows of small humanity
The poem is about a young boy in a waste dump. Dr. Huff teaches for English as a Second in Saudi Arabia. He has five books.
Congratulations and good luck to Dr. David R. Huff, Poet.
