no calls
for alms
no cans
for coins
he stood
a man of
just straw
dressed in scarecrow clothes
with tears flowing from eyes
asif to irrigate the hope within
his heart
looking
finding
just me
a fool
and he
knew i
was not
so wise
as to
understand
his cries to share a tear
so said to me… to share a tear
is to care about others as much i
cared about my own loves in this life
BRILLIANT!! The words, the story, and ofcourse the visual!!
Absolutely fantastic!!!
The poem really cried out to me… hopeless love drizzled with faith, all over the place! Really beautiful!
Love the visual layout of the poem, and the way the line breaks flow. It’s perfect! How do you manage to your layout this way? I can never get WordPress to cooperate when I try to do something like this.
I’m with Tel, I loved the layout of the poem. You actually gave me new ideas on writing. So I appreciate that and your comment you gave me. I’m glad you liked my poem. Nice poem!
Sorry about the link…what I have found is that the orginal article gets archived and the link changes…I’ve had that happen several times to me…I’ll try to find where it’s been archived and relink it. Cheers!

the image is the message. you are amazing! 🙂
The essence of the message in one short piece, unencumbered by dogma! Very clean. Very nice job.
Wow, great impact – visually as well (I couldn’t get the link to work however).

And some people dare say that form is not important….
Hung up to dry. Too dry to shed a tear. How sad! 😦
(The message is really about being a `strawman`.)
