Comment from Roxanna Andrews
Great rhyme and meter. I saw no errors. The story is familiar. Very sad, it seems there are more and more homeless. I have a friend who quit his good job with an ins co to go into full time ministry with the homeless. He holds church services for them, brings food, clothing, bedding, baby supplies, even bikes. My work place had a contest to see which dept could bring the most supplies for him to give the homeless. (His wife work there and many know him) People went all out, it was so nice. My dept won a popcorn party. Good for you for the work you do. Thank you for doing it.

Hello Pamusart, what a wonderful message in this poem. It tells a great story in rhyme and with a meter. I really admired it and saw no errors. It is very easy to disregard the homeless, especially in some countries; I would recommend this poem, which I found a pleasure to read and review, Ana.

I am having issues with the site. When I click on replies it reviews, I get a screen to buy a book
Comment from Gloria ....
What a wonderful poem. Boy you sure don't know the value of a good pair of shoes until you don't have one. Good for the girl that she got her mother to buy a pair. What a great story about the chess player. Do you play chess? I haven't in yonks but I used to quite a bit.
Very cool story. Of course almost no one chooses to be homeless.
Love it.
Gloria

Hi, Gloria. The site is not being nice to me. I had to take a detour to get to my reviews and replies. Every time I click on one of those I get a screen to buy a book. I had to go to my portfolio to see
My reviews. I have many duplicate reviews. But, thank you for your thoughtful review and five star rating. I was once ranked third in the country among female chess players and was the champion of California as well. I do not play any more
Comment from Dolly'sPoems
This is a bitter sweet write about the homeless people on our streets who live life rough. There but for the grace of God go us all, as you say they are down on their luck. Your descriptions in your write are raw and down to earth, love Dolly x

I got eight duplicate reviews of just one of the reviews. Gloria?s review was duplicated into several reviews. I have reported the issue. Thank you, Dolly for your understanding

Comment from Sandra du Plessis
A very well-written heartfelt poem/story. They are still human, although we know the only thing they really care is there booze, we still help where we can to.make their life more cheerful.

I want to add that maybe one in ten of the homeless we helped remained homeless. The rest got jobs. None was alcolohic or we would not have taken him in. My point is that many homeless do not drink or take drugs in the case of this poem, the subject was a drunk. But that is not the norm for the homeless.
