When covers his eyeballs with cardboard;
Plaited straw for a pillow, and pissed on,
One is a victim of urban success;
Very powerful description ,
One is but a dust hermit, porous victim,
Socking up the filth of the street;
That mint the unvoiced age groups of the street
In your poem, it had a lot of hate;
A visual intensity to it;

Dear Ian,

I can feel the sheer intensity of the piece. Throbbing. The visuals are disturbing but they bring the desired effect. Very well written. No real nits.

Thanks for sharing such a thought-provoking poem.

Powerful imagery here. S1 made me laugh and chuckle..know what you mean mate.

If I saw those kebabs on the floor thrown by thoughtless drunks I would need a mid-night swim away from them all. I live in Whitstable so perhaps the sea for me is not that far
in the dead of night....


this is excellent

Ian, this person was painted so restless and anxious. It is uncomfortable to read because you have done it so well. Gazelle

It's a sad, but true existence for some people Ian. You have captured his strengh rather than weakness. I dont feel pity for this guy, I feel admiration. He's down but not out. Well done Ian. A great read.

The images painted does give the image of a proud man, fighting against adversity but I think that the subject matter has been tackled before and unfortuntley I don't think adds anything new.
After one look at this planet any visitor from outer space would say 'I want to see the manager.

Hi Ian,

The idea of stepping into this guys shoes and showing us a slice of life is interesting. I am happy that you have so much to say and that the images you have shown us seem to flow freely from your mind. There is not a sense of force behind your words, I think it must have just rolled off your tongue.

I have a problem with your use of commas. It seems you have them where they need not be and leave them off where they should be.
Seeing as I have been gone for a month or two, and am not sure if you are interested in editing your work, which I can you care deeply about, I was wondering how you came to use your commas.

I am one who wings it so my line breaks and most other things but find that beneath me, I have some rattling rational I have created. lol.

I would love to hear as I find will find it insightful when reading your work.
