Congratulations my friend for this touching poem chosen as the poem of the day! A well deserved honor!

This one went straight to the heart. We see homeless people every day and never give it a thought. Well written. Thanks for sharing.

Congrats, a touching poem and a perfect selection as a members' poem of the day.

As callous as this sounds the only good thing about being homeless is that there are no bills to pay.I was homeless when I was younger..I knew my life path would get better but there is always a chance of losing everything in the future..In the meantime i donate to the local food bank and thrift shops..

My sincere thanks to you for such an objective portrayal of a homeless destitute soul. This is heart-rending and serves as an eye opener. I quote: The rain came down in torrents, hid the tears in his eyes Then spent a night in hunger; not having ate that day In the winter of his days, and yet no place to go

Sad yet painful truth of life portrayed in beautiful words. Loved reading it. Congrats on member poem of the day!

Loke. Wasn't it Charles Buckowski who said Take what you love and let it kill you This is true and directly applied by your poem to life in so many sad instances. Brilliant, moving and memorable this poem will stay. Thank you my friend for this disturbingly good write. Cheers, Geoffrey.

A very sad poem! But a truth of life! If you have no food or roof over your head it is a tragic situation. My heart goes out to such people wandering from place to place in search of food and shelter. 10+++

It is so sad to see these vagrant people with no permanent roof over their heads. Unfortunately they are at the mercy of the weather and climate. As the seasons change from autumn to winter or from summer to the rainy season, they aimlessly wander looking for a place to rest their heads....! Poignant and evocative!
