Yes, homeless people are often treated as if they are o there. I suppose it comes from ignorance and partly fear of the unknown. I liked your free verse poem. Thanks for sharing. Ulla:)))

Your theme is an interesting one, many are berated for their appearance
There are the "haves" and the "have nots."
Some will always look down on others, especially if they are different.
The old parable of the one who dons a disguise.
Best wishes with your book.
Robert

Liked the witty and snarky, smart tone of this poem. I thought of a Seinfeld episode where they were talking about the show about nothing and thought that this was a clever poem about nothing. Nada, zilch. Well done, my friend.

Thank you for your author notes; it explained what I was about to read, otherwise, I would have felt lost in the wording. As far as making out the words I think it says don't judge me by my looks; I'm God's creation too. Or something of that nature.

Alcreator:

Your writings are always most intriguing. I know to always wait until I read the author's notes before composing my thoughts regarding a review. What I took from this is two-fold: 1) don't judge a book by its cover; and, 2) there are no such things as "nobodies" because we are all made by God.

You are so right, interesting runt around the negation word:
"They nab "naebody"
Nap, call, name you "na", "naething"
"No room", "nae game", "doom you are"!" Thank you for sharing and good luck with your writings.

Very exceptional poetry once again! You truly have a gift and a God-given talent. The style of writing you use works well for you. The poem expresses to me how it feels when other people label someone a nobody. However, I believe we are all special to God. You have skillfully put into words the sentiments of one who longs to be seen as someone significant. Wonderful poem!

Thanks for the notes on the translations to give some context--nonetheless, have no clue as to how to interpret the poem as a whole. I like the NNNN alliteration.

Nice poem!! I really needed your Author notes to understand it its fully extension. But message is interesting as shows a human side that is not sometimes referred in poems... Your many recognitions denotes that your message really "hit the nail"! Congratulations!
