Carrie Richards Poet Free verse

From a Car Window

.


Just a stone’s throw away, live the people who we’ll never know

We catch a glimpse into a life...

A house, a barn, hard working men

A vagrant walking through a field

A mother takes her child to school

Commuters on their way to work, 

They look, ...a glance.  We look, ...one chance

Just a stone’s throw away, live the people who we’ll never know

Kabuteng P.Ink K. June 16, 2011 at 9:04 AM I really liked your take on the word "stone" here, Carrie--made me think as well, we definitely sometimes rush too much in our lives, not slowing down and trying to get to know the people who are just "a stone's throw away"-- beautiful message you give here & super congrats on your win :) hugs :)
