The Street Beggar
The Street Beggar
On a cold wintery morning
Under the weak watery sun
Mother and child shivered together,
On a day barely begun.
They waited on the traffic isle
For the rush of cars to start,
Hoping for some charity
To relieve their starving hearts.
A few cars passed, too fast to see,
Then, bumper to bumper they came and went,
Blinkered people safe and warm,
Snug in their cocoons.

I am impressed, the analogy of cars / cocoons is very clever.
We see the same things…..
I think so too.
Hope or anticipation?
Well… er… both, I think. She hopes for some kindness and there must be some small amount of anticipation for her to spend such an uncomfortable time braving the elements… don’t you think?
That is so good.
Why is it….I have you on my blogroll but you do not come up in my Blog surfer?
Thanks, Gran.
What is a Blog surfer?
Ok, Gran, I found it – will try it out, maybe over the w/end. I’ve been using my One Note for this as I find it quicker than going onto my Blogroll each time.
This is brilliant, Adee

Thanks, Halfy.
Have a great weekend. xxx
Such a picture you’ve painted! I like your use of “starving hearts” – they needed nourishment of many kinds.
Thanks for your comment, GD. I have just downloaded Photoscape which you mentioned in your last post and am looking forward to experimenting! I was so pleased to see that it is MS compatible with XP, Vista and 7. Thank you for mentioning it by name.
Very good!
Of course, these days everyone suspects a ‘rent-a-baby’ situation, too.
I didn’t. But then I’m not eveyone, lol!
