Lonely Old Man Poem by Dorsey Baker

Lonely Old Man

Rating: 5.0


Lonely old man
he lives in
a place called yesterday
hands weaker
now
and they
tremble some
a once handsome face
so covered with wrinkles
that spider upon his
very dry skin
he is just a
lonely old man
living a life
that is so
boring and dull
tomorrows forecast
just more rain
he has lived past the future
no use looking back
at it now
it has come and gone
but he
is still around
looking at the clouds
in the sky
he sees himself
in the storm!
