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

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.

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.

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

Sometimes, methinks, people we have barely met seem like old friends...

My children scold me all the time because I will start a conversation with anyone. I believe in the old saying, every stranger is just a friend you have not met.
