Describe A Stranger

While I stood in line
I waited my turn
To order my drink
I spoke to someone
In front of the line

It made the line pass
A stranger i spoke
Until it was my turn
To order my drink
it passed the time

She was tall and thin
Her hair was longer
She had bright blue eyes
I found her friendly
We both spoke non stop

I felt I known her 
For a very long time 
She lived in a town 
Decided to move 
She chose  the city

Joe Dimino Date: 4/17/2025 8:38:00 AM Pure poetry! Love the very human connection you made with a stranger. After all, on the same line, there is avenue for meaningful communication from the get-go. Used your time very wisely. And we all benefit. Lovely read.

Alesia Leach Date: 4/11/2025 2:35:00 PM Your poem really touched me. I love how you captured that quiet connection--like someone meaningful just drifted into your day. It felt so honest, like you came home and had to write it down before it faded. Thank you for sharing that moment--it made me smile.

Panagiota Romios Date: 4/11/2025 12:40:00 AM An experience, you describe so well. We all miss strangers and different of these or whatever that really. I went to New York once and for a few days and I’ve let the lead of people I didn’t know.m they offered me to stay at their apartment and not go back. It was so funny and they were a lively group.. don’t forget about the world is of friends you havent met yet, love ve you, Pangiex Login to Reply Darlene De Beaulieu Date: 4/11/2025 9:55:00 AM Hello Panagiota, yes of course I will not forget my world of friends I have met.
