Notes About The Poem

VAGABOND VERSES

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
They travel without maps—only the rhythm of the walkways and coffee stains on edges of napkins. They carry crumpled metaphors in their pockets that they snatched mid-flight from passing trains, each stanza a temporary shelter. They trade sonnets for soup in dimly lit diners, syllables simmering next to weak broth. Their ink stains the borrowed pages of the world~ never owning, always belonging.

Ahhh!! I enjoyed this one filled with metaphors. I think there is a contest going on about metaphors so if this is an entry, it reads like a very good contender to me. Way to go. Sara K
