Laura Mckenzie Poet Free verse

Background Noise

How intriguing are the life’s of others
One can’t help but look in, passing a window
For in that window are people
People ,safe and carefree
In their space,
with their eyes and expressions out of place
 
How interesting is it to listen when others talk 
I think I will take a walk 
And listen to the pigeon hawk 
No matter how politely done 
One can’t help but look into an open window
It’s the human interest of some

Deneen White September 25, 2008 at 3:43 PM it's true it's almost human nature to look into someone else's wsindow are we just curious or are we being nosy, nice write, take care, D-nyce

Sharon Winter September 25, 2008 at 7:23 AM I would always wonder, even as a child, driving or walking by homes, taking peeks into windows and just becoming curious and imaginative. It does seem to be something we cannot help but do! Does that make us nosy?? ~lol~ Probably. Love, Shar

Charles Fuller September 25, 2008 at 7:03 AM I think we're all guilty of this. No matter how hard we try...we seem to have this need to listen in. Great job with this. My best to you, Charlie

James Foulk September 24, 2008 at 8:58 PM yes an open window hard to walk by a open window and not look, but I try not to, because I know how i would feel. but this was a great poem, thank you for reading my poetry and for your comments

George Anos September 24, 2008 at 7:52 PM I try to avoid but curiousity kills hehehe

Jerry Bolton September 24, 2008 at 2:49 PM Interesting take on the human need of voyeurism . . . I am quite guilty of this, although I try not to stare, just a quick peek and eyes averted . . . Uh, unless there is a striking female in the frame of that window . . . My eyes want to linger . . . good, fun, entertaining and educational piece of work . . .
