Array ( [sid] => 110783 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Solitare Man [time] => 2005-12-02 17:24:43 [hometext] => I saw a painting of a diner and a crowd of people laughing while one man remained in the dark. i decided to write this poem about my interpretation of him. [bodytext] => My spirit lurks in the shadows
As I help others to see
Every glitch in their selfish lives
As they spill their hearts to me.

Unaffected by my philosophies
Or those I help to cure
I go through life aloof
For there’s nothing I know for sure

I’m told that I don’t care for anyone
I am merely a working man
My children need a father figure
And she needs a helping hand

But as bland and tasteless as God made me to be,
I say nothing in return, and to show that I see

In sheer desperation I flee to my haven;
The diner located downtown
It is there that familiarity saturates my heart
And nobody wears a frown

I keep a distance from the usual group
For I am not one to talk
But they are aware and give me a smile
As if to say “Hello, Mr. Hawk!”

I sit out my troubles and watch them all,
Night after night after night,
They gossip and laugh as they share their day
Oh, what a life…

Solitare Man

A good interpretation of the painting, very insightful.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. Â©
