Comment from Shirley E Kennedy
Well written and rather sad to think this still happens in our modern society.
Well presented, rhymed and with a powerful message too.
T he image adds depth to the words.
Good luck in the contest.
Blessings

Thank you.
Comment from BethShelby
This is a very touching poem. I feel so bad for all those streetcorner beggers. People tell me they make good money doing that but I seldom see many people stopping so I don't believe it. The one corner where I see them is opposite from my turn corner, so I seldom give them anything either. Your poem is beautifully rhymed and flows well. Good luck in the contest.

Some of those are frauds. I don't like it when I see them with their family all gathered there sitting in lawn chairs with a cooler. I can just about tell when someone is authentic, and I give them something.

Good luck wishes regarding the contest entry, damommy. The picture was both unique and interesting. Your words were rather interesting because they included the wetness of the rain and it's affect on the man. Blessings n Hugs!

I liked your poem about the derelict man. Cast adrift on a sea of shame. People pass him buy quickly just in case he asks for help. One wonders how men and women slide down the ladder of normality to end in rags and the dreaded drink. K xx

I know. It's so sad.
Comment from Thesis
Your poem shows a sad story of the poor, homeless, and forgotten. While they are still alive, people treat them as though they were inhuman, and dead to all who see them. It's a sad commentary on our society who would rather look away than help someone who truly needs it. Good entry to the contest.

So true. Thank you.
Comment from judiverse
This is a sad story, but one that happens again and again. One wants to feel sympathy for the man, but one also wonders why he squandered so many chances. Alcoholism seems to be one reason. He had a wife and children, so he wasn't always alone. Too many times people like this man are offered help and don't take it. If a person doesn't want to lift himself up, it's not going to happen. There are many agencies trying to help the homeless like this man. Enough of the soap box. Your description is very apt and vivid. Best of luck in the contest. judi

Life is never easy on the street. You did a marvelous job capturing the sentiment of the homelessness that's enveloping the states. Our veterans need our support. Good job.
