This was kind of off my subject area. No idea where it came from! Enjoy. "Hobo Joe" Along subway walls of dust and dirt A hobo and his guitar does flirt, As each string proclaims a vibration Coins sound off, all in donation, Revealing his jaded teeth in a smile He tips his hat, as dollar bills pile, Wasted talent stirs echoes around And waves of ecstasy remain in sound His family has departed, his name is Joe Facts about his life, is what no one knows The feckless security shuffles him away, But the resonance remains for another day It travels up the stairs and into thin air Entwining in ears, you hear it come near, When if finally comes, you'll be disarrayed, Because of cheer and love, it was made By the end of the night, he's been everywhere Each subway tunnel has heard his tune clear Money earned is taken, and given to who need, For he has his music, others require the greed Jeremy D.

I am just in love with this!! Especially the ending, "...Money earned is taken, and given to who need,For he has his music, others require the greed" that is the best!!! GREAT JOB!!!!!!1 love, *~Valerie~* *...Remember your roots, my friend they're right down below, because heroes come and heroes go...* - Creed |

Man when I heard Hobo I thought, ok gona be a funny poem sorta thing, but hey this was really good. I liked it alot. Man I think your one of the few poets who use large words regularly, but dosn't use them to be purdy and sound smart. They acctually mean what you want them to mean. I commend you on this, that's why I stop half way through a lot of poems that just bore me with words that mean little. |
