Comment from Aussie
I enjoyed your story/poem of the homeless man. We in affluent countries should give more thought to those fallen on hard times. No one should have to sleep on a snow-covered hard bench. Soup kitchens are there to help, what about places to sleep. Aust. gives out weather-proof sleeping bags, fortunately, we don't have snow. Thanks for sharing honey-bun. XX

Thank you so much, Kay. We have the soup kitchens and also shops for the homeless where they can go in and take a basket of food. It's all been donated so is free. They are given enough to last them a few days and then they can go back. I don't know how they know these are homeless people, but the television did a thing about it and followed up on some of them. There were some tragic stories. So glad you liked this poem, my friend. Heaps of love. Sandra xxx

Hullo Possum, Jamie Oliver came up with a good idea; all the Christmas food leftovers was donated and would you believe...fed one million people! Much love, Kay. XX Toby XX

I love the emotion of your poem, Sandra. You take the reader from happy, to sad, to fear, and back to happy once again. I'm so glad you wrote a saving ending, and love your message of the power of kindness.
Smiles,
Karyn :-)

Comment from mvbrooks
I so enjoy your writing and in this case, enjoyed how you built a whole story--a whole life around a gentleman lying on a snow-covered bench. Your words add dignity to a man that most of society would likely "just walk by."
The rhyme is consistent and moves the story at a positive pace, drawing in the reader. I think you've risen to this challenge is a very strong way.

Comment from CEO2020
Simply beautifully written!
"One night when he was fast asleep, the snow began to fall,
and in his frozen mind he thought he heard an angel call.
He felt a hand slip into his, and someone call his name,
his eyelids fluttered open as he heard the voice again. "
Happy New Year My Friend!

Comment from Heather Knight
What a lovely story of despair and, eventually, kindness!
At the beginning I thought the woman was an angel who had come to take him to heaven. Well, she was a different kind of angel.
Thanks for sharing.

Comment from Lu Saluna
This is a wonderful poem for this picture challenge.
It is sad, tragic, very descriptive, full of detail and great imagery. The rhyme is lovely as is the flow.
"The man who fell asleep that night beneath a freezing sky,"
"Is testament to kindness; she refused to let him die."
these last two lines are beautiful

Comment from Ella25
How beautifully you told his story of life that almost end until a helping hand reached out to him and pulled him back again. Words of compassion for less fortunate, for those who lost their voice. Bounded and put together with the image and coordinating colours. Superb. Blessings, Ella
