-Alone And Unseen

I like this, even though it is sad. It reminds me of "do you ever feel like a plastic bag?", which is the first line of "Firework" by Katy Perry.

Okay, I had to skip your 2nd poem because I knew I'd cry and now you've got me tearing up anyway because I read this. Having a brother who lived a lot of his adult life homeless, due to mental illness, (not the case in your poem, I think, because your character looked and saw, my bro did not look, see or care), I felt the hard hit of this poem. I'm going to see if you have any happy sounding titles - just for today. CayCay

Unfortunately, homeless people are often looked upon as if they did not exist, or they are misjudged. Many of them are victims of circumstances and are in need of human kindness and love. ~ Regards // paul

Homelessness is very sad. Some very bright people are out there, but they can't function because of mental illness. Thank you for bringing their plight to attention.

A good reminder to us to pay attention. Everybody matters, we mustn't forget that. Ellen

No-one saw him. So he was seen by 'No-one.' As in 'I'm nobody// Are you nobody too?" by Emily Dickinson. ~ gw

A very moving portrait...so fortunate that in this case someone saw him and felt compassion and managed to write a poem about him. You have caused all of us readers to "look" at him and take note....thankyou my dear friend.

Plight of homeless people. Sad story.

they are not "invisible" as most clutch their pocketbooks and purses a bit tighter as they pass.

sad and very true in so many cases, deb...well said!

Oh, my how sorrowful and happens all too often these days.

A sad verse Deb, and something you see often, society does not seem to care.. Tom
