The Hood

I stood before the homeless man My face lit in righteous Lincoln green. He thanked me for the proffered booty And I was magnanimous In my acceptance. He gazed at me For the moment it took For me to turn, And walk away... I was no longer sure of my feelings.

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.

Hi Allen, I am happy, I inspired you to write a new poem, after all, this time. You chose one of my favorite contest out there. Or, should I say, the only contest I'd consider at this time. :) I am not sure of the old feeling before that. But, hope the new feeling of giving was a good one. And not a confused one. This is for the Robin Hood, theme right? The Best Of luck. Hope you read my new replies. LINDA
