Stranger Poem by Helen Wilson

Stranger

Rating: 4.0


He wasn’t handsome;
He didn’t look smart.
He didn’t seem wealthy.
He walked without art.

His smile was freeborn;
His gaze was direct;
His scope, expansive;
His greeting correct.

He passed me a smile
It lingered aface
I shared it around
Without losing pace.

The day seemed brighter
My feet gained traction.
“A good day, indeed! ”-
Instinct reaction…

He was very good looking;
He was indeed smart;
His wealth was apparent;
And joy was his art.

Helen, It is a little bit chilly now ! SO, every 180 degrees that we can get is O.K.!

WOW...... Helen.... This is just a wonderful piece of literature! You have constructed the poem with so much of word-power.... the rhythm is astounding, you just out-excelled all of us! The theme is so clear - within the simplicity of the language, I hope you write more and more!
