When I saw the most horrendous sight,
This poor, pitiful creature that I saw
Must not know wrong from right.
Her face was to cynical,
She didn't look happy at all,
Looking old beyond her years
I just couldn't believe what I saw.
I couldn't help but say to myself
That this girl had been around the block a time or two,
And even though I didn't know her,
I knew that much to be true.
To busy to stop and help her
I continued on my way,
But at the next stop, the next corner,
I saw her twice, in just one day.
I thought that must mean something,
That maybe I was supposed to help her out,
But as I stepped up to the window
I realized that no one could be looking out.
The building was deserted,
There was no one on the street,
To my horrible surprise, the person I had been judging so harshly,
This time, just happened to be me. [comments] => 2 [counter] => 150 [topic] => 21 [informant] => ginsdance [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => Lifepoems )

The Looking Glass

Topic: Lifepoems

I was standing at the corner looking in a window
When I saw the most horrendous sight,
This poor, pitiful creature that I saw
Must not know wrong from right.
Her face was to cynical,
She didn't look happy at all,
Looking old beyond her years
I just couldn't believe what I saw.
I couldn't help but say to myself
That this girl had been around the block a time or two,
And even though I didn't know her,
I knew that much to be true.
To busy to stop and help her
I continued on my way,
But at the next stop, the next corner,
I saw her twice, in just one day.
I thought that must mean something,
That maybe I was supposed to help her out,
But as I stepped up to the window
I realized that no one could be looking out.
The building was deserted,
There was no one on the street,
To my horrible surprise, the person I had been judging so harshly,
This time, just happened to be me.

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. ©
