People Walking Through Town

People Walking Through Town

A Poem by Sarah Hobbit

Grandmother looking after-

  fast, happy, pouty grandchildren.

  giving the parent a welcome day off

 

Couple, couple, young, old,

  walking hand in hand

 

Pregnant women waiting

  and looking after a precious child

  yet to come into this world

 

Single man, looking for love

  or buying her a gift

 

Skater boys roll past the pretty girls-

  who shop with their cold legs,

  laugh, giggle, flirt, and enjoy friends company

 

Homeless wandering, sitting playing music so well

  in their dirty clothes and long beard

 

Worker on their lunch break,

  eating as they walk on their way

  to look quickly at some shops

 

Seeing people of all Ages, Relationships,

  Ethnicity, and Clothes.

I like it. I can picture all of the people that you mentioned. A brief verbal photograph of the people all around us. Well done.

I liked it. A view of what goes on in downtown of a city.

Love the way you capture the different lives of people, how people just
get on with it, living in your own world, not thinking grass is greener etc, best way.
Nice :)

I like the description of people in the poem. I like people watching. I was station throughout the world. Everybody had a plan of a sort and the world seem to keep on moving. I enjoyed the poem. Thank you for the excellent poem.
