Sidewalks

Sidewalks know

that

 

Innocence rests

upon

 

The cold light

from

 

Warm street lamps

and

 

Compassion from

rain.

I have read several titles of yours before, although giving no comments. I am an imagist, it's all in the image, so it's difficult for me to comment on poetry that is somewhat abstract. Technically, there is nothing I would suggest, so my comments would probably just be something like "nice" or "I agree." But I will put it this way, of the several titles I've read, and re-read a week or more later, this one sticks with me the most. I think because it is the most imagistic I've read, but also the understatement fits the message conveyed well.

This piece give you as a reader a chance to actually do a little self reflecting and you find yourself thinking and imagining. I loved the thought and style of this piece. You captured a true sense of wisdom here in your words. Made for a wonderful read. I am very glad you sent this my way.

Great Job!!!!!!

I really like the format that you used in this piece. The single lines add a really great effect - like the line breaks in a sidewalk. This is insightful and profound!

Imagary that you write with words, sometimes out there watching the most basic boring things reveals an insight only a creative mind can see.
Compassion from the rain..........conjures up many thoughts.......cleansing.

I'm glad to see you back and posting. This was a lovely idea. Very William Carlos Williams-esque. Pure and simple and profound. Great job.
