Living Poem by Tom Allport

I never thought of life that way. -what a way to live Your poem hits the mark ....and my heart 10+

Some time every day worries keep you away from bigger problems! It's a great expression in a short poem. Drama of life specially culminates in last line!

Indeed! Applies also to those who aren't homeless. Homelessness shows us all that there is something very wrong in the world...the world is flawed, society is flawed and few care or can make a difference.

Very nicely done- - - -Worry kills our joy of LIVING. I often worry Of where my next meal comes from Of where do I sleep next? Of what the future holds? Worrying of these things Takes my mind off ........Of living.

It's a deep work. To step into the shoes of a homeless person and to see life through his eyes, how wonderfully you have done it. A poignant write. Living is essential to soul's well being but a homeless person can only exist. A10

An outstanding succinct piece. To live our life to the fullest we must have the basic necessities of life.

Worrying of these things Takes my mind off.... homelessness.. it is so great that you as a poet think of the homeless and trying to get into their mind set, you wrote this. greatness of your heart..! ! ! thank u dear Tom

Feelings of the homelessness are the killing feelings.

to MyPoemList. but i feel that some those, 'we' think of as homeless, are not without a 'roof' over their heads (even if it is a tent) . i think, for some 'homeless', life with the 'luxuries' would be worse. but i'm not homeless, and i should let them speak for themselves. it's probably a 'mixed bag'. bri :)

(continued) ........... 4- no tips for a waiter/waitress 5- no insurance to pay 6- no need to buy a dresser to store clothing 7- no watch to wind 8- no lawn to mow etc. etc. etc. then i come back to 'reality'. homelessness probably sucks much of the time, without the 'luxuries' many/most? PH members enjoy, like food, a bed, medical care, and internet 24/7. bri :)
