From Corner Looking Out
From Corner Looking Out
Preamble
I'm not sure about this. It seems too simple. I change grammar, leaving words out. What will others think? It doesn't matter what others think Don. You write for yourself. You've said this often
I sit in corner looking
Round my favourite caff
People coming, going
Making smile, and laugh
But every now (less often)
I feel a touch of sad
A person shows not happy
Not happy (feeling bad?)
I am just here observing
(From corner looking out)
At all different humanity
Passing roundabout
Eyes down I make this passing flow
Transfer to page via pen
That you are now reading about
My poetry (again)

In the dangerous days of the American West, a certain watchful
James Butler "Wild Bill" Hickok used to sit with his back to the wall,
except for one time when he got careless playing cards and was
shot from behind, the cards from his "dead man's" hand (Aces and
Eights) being noted and named as such thereafter. People-watching
- especially from a safe position - can be an informative useful pastime!
