January

January Two Perspectives From his park bench bed He hears bells chime in New Year. Quiet desperation. From her pavement tent She peeps. Harrods is open! January sales!

I love the perspective change in the two stanzas and how the second perspective shows a sort of self-centered average society member while the first shows a down-to-earth citizen in a calm, peaceful, environment. creative and well written. :) by the way thank you for the words on my poem, "Sunflower".
