Amen to what John Richter said below, and also, after reading the comments of Rose Garden and Claire Jones, I realized that I agreed with them, too. I can certainly envision this person in my mind. Great job and congratulations on Poem of the Day!

Knocked me right off my chair! In so few lines Mr. Walker created an intense understanding of a situation, a chance meeting perhaps of two souls, one in desperation, the other in admiration. And worded so incredibly beautifully.... Dear poets, this is poetry.....

A diamond and precious substance inside this poem

This is really good, I can almost picture this person the way you have described. CJ

Like this one a lot... for some reason makes me think of Henry Miller and his whores

Sometimes light can throw into sharp relief the truth that is out there for some. But, if you take the last line to heart, then there can always be hope, even for the fallen. This a good one.

This is one of my favorites so far, by far. I hope I won't end up that way. Carolyn
