Another brilliant piece. The only critique I have is the second sun line four of paragraph four which I feel is superfluous. It flows freely without it and needs no substitute.
Are you writing this much every day or are you finding pieces you have archived?

If we're observant, we will see and hear so many things between sunrise and bedtime that it would be hard to list them all. Are all of them significant? Well, that all depends . . . . Your poem is well detailed.

Probably if you used more metaphors, painting mind pictures, like Jesus did, who spoke in illustrative language, when asked what was an example loving one's neighbour was, He said, there was a Samaritan, who saw an injured man. (Samaritans were considered by Jews to be the lowest of the low) Luke 10 : 30-37. (Otherwise this is just observational prose) people are trying to help Shelley, blessings Roy

There is a lot going on outside and around us. People get into a routine that usually never changes. Many times, I look out of my window. And see people walking around, I wonder, where do they live. What type of person are they, are they good or evil? Thank you.

How well you've drawn me in! My kingdom for a six, this Friday afternoon...

In your previous post, you painted the picture--now you have swirled me into your paint!

I see and smile and hear and touch...

How wonderful the deep well flowing within your words!

Karenina

A very detailed and interesting observation of the progression of a day through your window. Is the resident confined to her home or is she just observing her neighbors?

I liked your "fleshed out" version of this poem. Watching a window can often be as entertaining as watching a television--maybe more so, as your mind gets to make up what is going on. Keep up the good work.

I have read both poems. I can see the fleshed-out version gives more of yourself. I'm a simple person and like the less fleshed-out because it allows the reader to use their imagination to see what they want. There's a purpose for all types and all types are good.
