He walks tired
and slowly,
tired of
life and with no intention of living any more of it?
His age as
explanatory,
All those
years having hopes and dreams
Those that
never came real to him.
A dog- his
dog,
With a
similar mood he follows his owner
The old man
is not lonely, he’s got someone
Their pace
becomes a relaxed one
As to enjoy
every minute, life has to offer
As they get
out of my sight
I wonder do
they know how much they inspired?
All the
things we do for happiness
All the
nonsense
and we might
only need a long walk at night
Presumably this is based on a street observation? I think it might be more effective as prose. This might give you more freedom to explore your feelings. Using such a constrained medium as poetry makes it technically demanding to keep control over the imagery.
ReplyDeleteIt is based on a street observation and I do agree that it would be more effective as prose. I did find it very difficult to write a poem as it was the first time and as we discussed in class it has its limitations.
