A picture in twenty words (Windows)

picture copyright craig harris 2002-2008

 

Neighbors

are too close

for friendship.

Will the music

drown out the shouts

the way the shades

hide the frowns?

[An owl on the moon]

Love the beauty and simplicity of this piece. You did so much with 20 little words!!! Having lived too long in an apartment complex I can totally relate to the shouts and the shades. So unique!!!

[Shadows of Sight]

What a truth, especially when you see all the block homes being built, where there is no more then ten feet between house walls of the neighbor! What ever happened to ridding your horse ten miles just to say hi to the closest living creature! Sigh...to many people. And they world has let to many negative emotions over take humanity, so that everyone has to hear others problems and individual anger being unleashed.
No privacy and no peace of mind. Not in these modern day comunes that they call houseing developments and apartments...
Great Write! It speaks of a truth, that exists, that people should be aware of everytime, they want to raise their voice!
