No wonder you're a winner! This is a great rhyming poem that puts my writing to shame. Have you been to Barcelona? I ask because my best man (now deceased) was a big Dr. Who fan, and there was an episode where the Doctor and an alien went restaurant-hopping in Barcelona, and I always think of that when I hear that name. Anyhow, this was perfect. No faults to report, and keep on writing!

Thanks Jim for the great review. I have been to Barcelona many times. It is my favorite city. Take care. Jen.

Wish I could have visited that city! Now, in a wheelchair, i can barely visit nearby cities.

Ah bless you x

Wow, I don't know how I could have missed this fine poem, but I'm sure glad you posted it again. Mostly a prose reader and writer who doesn't know the first thing about poetry, which you know, I seldom give up one of our few sixes for a poem. But anything less for your outstanding contest winner would be criminal. Thanks for sharing.

Wow what a truly wonderful piece of well written poetry. The rhythm and rhyme scheme is good and the imagery is vividly descriptive. Good use of alliteration too. Well done.

Lovely poem, Jen. Your rhyme, rhythm and structure work so well together to tell a most affecting story. The character is so moving. A lovely revival of a post. x

Bravo', nicely done! I like the way you used the economy of words, by this I mean you used just the right words to convey your message/your story. Not too long, everything fit together without any words that sounded awkward or like the word was looking for its home but being unsuccessful
Shalom,
Bar Ponneck
A couple of my favorite stanza's
His fingers are raw
from the steel strings he uses.
Thin legs covered
in sores and bruises
Folks sneer as they pass
unaffected is he
as he hears and he feels
but his eyes cannot see

Congrats on the win! Nice rhyming poem that both tells a compelling story and evokes emotion for the poor, old, blind singer who shares his gift, not for attention, but from the heart. =)

****** six virtual stars my friend. Beautifully written from the heart. We call folks like him, buskers. Some walk past throwing coins into the case. I wonder if he makes enough to feed himself. Some are talented musicians, I do feel for them but they wouldn't have it any other way.
