Notes About The Poem

Wonderin' Why

By the looks on the gentlemen's faces
And how the young man in the background- paces 
I can just feel, their at one of those places 

You all, know...where I mean 
In that place, where you just want to scream 
In that place, where you just to wake up from a dream 

In the fields, their all gathered for prayer 
Wives comfort their husbands, in care 
As their husbands just sit, and just stare... 

At the sky, 
Wonderin' why... 
As they cry, 
And they sigh 

Saying "good-bye" 
To the guy 
On the fly

Vijay Pandit February 29, 2020 at 7:15 AM I couldn't decide what this contest photo was all about. Your interpretation is on the mark--given the cries and sighs that evoke...wanting to say goodbye. All the best Charlie. Charles Messina February 29, 2020 at 7:27 AM At first I thought perhaps they were watching an outdoor movie, but then at a closer look I realized it was day-time (lol). Thanks so much Vijay. All the best my friend :)
