Comment from BethShelby
This senryu is thought provoking. Those are homes of real people and it is all they have. Too many of us consider them unimportant and aren't that concerned when their meager possessions are swept away. Yet, so many people are only one paycheck away from being in the same situation.

Comment from Occasional Beauty
The homeless condition is a very troubling one to me. If we all did something, just a little for them we could make a big difference. I liked your ideas here:)

LightBearer, you are so right - it takes everyone doing something. Thanks so much, Brooke :-)
Comment from Jean Lutz
The bridge in the picture looks a bit like a bridge over a river right by where I live. I think sometimes people camp or sleep there. As I read your words I was thinking of all the people who are still living in makeshift housing in Haiti. Best to you with the entry.

Thank you, Jean - yes, it is a worldwide problem - there are refugee camps in many places in Africa, also, that are little more than makeshift shacks/tents. Brooke :-)

To adewpearl,
A Senryu poem that ironically disperses pieces of our dwellings in areas that we would rather be left alone.
Great imagery!

I really enjoy your take on your writings. You seem to pen only when you have something to say, which is what makes your creative process a joy to read. This is a unique twist on an old adage. Very nice!

Comment from debskatz
Hey brooke,
i seem to remember a time when you wouldn't touch a haiku or senryu with a ten-foot pen, & look at ya now!! Yes, a very interesting senryu. The homeless are not people we need to forget as water under a bridge. Great topic! Thanks for sharing with us!!
smiles,
deb
p.s. - I've been in the hospital twice with congestive heart failure, high blood sugar, high triglycerides, & high blood pressure. Things seem to be on the mend now (Thank God!).

Yes, Chicago must be a horrible place to be homeless with the winters you get. Thanks so much for your thoughtful comments. Brooke
