I watch people all the time, I don't mean to stare. People are some funny creatures and if you watch you can learn a lot. This is not the looking you are talking about though. This is another fine poem and I am glad to read it! Anthony
As usual David, a good tight piece with lots of meaning.
We all tend to either stare, or pretend not to see, those unfortunates who live on our city streets.
Tut tutting at them as we make our way to our nice warm homes.
Most don't live like that from choice, each will have a story.
Keep writing, Brian.
David,
Your poetry never ceases to amaze me. It's so direct and always cuts into me. I feel it and I think that even as simple as a poem looks, there are always hidden meanings that us help remember them. I love the rhyming nature of it. Great job as always!
Yes, sometimes the stares of the curious are hard to bear, I think. There are those that stare in shock, some stare in disdain, others stare with superiority and a few maybe with sympathy or pity. I really like the observations your poem makes from the viewpoint of the staree. I do have a couple of suggestions for enhancing the rhythm
of a couple of the lines a bit. In the 2nd verse try addin "or" to the beginning of the third line and try removing the word "don't" from the 3rd line in the 4th verse. See what you think.
Welcome !
