Boonstra poem for Pond Poetry contest.
THE IMMIGRANT

innocent eyes admire your world; however, you see an unwelcome foreigner
indignation envelops me as I contemplate your modern world
I struggle to communicate, but you mock my accent
my native customs, you carelessly ridicule
transplanted by choice, yet
trapped, isolated
alone
