Building the City

Larry this was so touching and you really spoke genuinely about how humanity can be reached... by these experiences being shared even if in a glance. Loved the "walking love letter" and the joy of the children, as well as mentioning the homeless man. It truly is a beautiful moment to stop and instead of passing these people by, give them our time or our words.... we can easily move ahead and not realize those around us, but it's a gift when we do.

Such a beautiful message and truth in those short lines!

Oh I adore this little poem. I think it speaks so much truth. I believe there is so much ignorance to some situations and although some people find it hard to understand the exact pain of going through it, we can still open our ears and our hearts and sympathise and imagine. I think when we do this, like you say, we become part of something greater.

I would never of thought of this idea coming from your prompts, you blended them together amazingly and write a poem that the whole world should share.

The most touching image I got was the homeless man, because there is so much pain in the world but I believe the saddest is someone not having a home, especially if they have never had one. To never come home to the warmth, and the fact he is a single man you mentioned I assume he has no family either which is so sad.

Very nicely penned.

What a message to convey in those lines! I loved the imagery you mentioned and how it felt. This is such a deep piece Larry, it really made me think!
