Comment from Dean Kuch
Wonderfully well stated, dear Gypsy.
Ya know, we all complain about the rain and how cold it's getting outside. But at least we have a warm, dry place to go home to.
Many do not.
So, the next time we feel the need to complain about the weather, let's stop and think how fortunate we are to have a placed called "home".
So sorry I'm all out of sixes. I hope a virtual six will suffice for now

Your excellent Haiku tells a very sad story. So poignant and very true. I love your choice of illustration. It really compliments it. Well done.

Comment from Ricky1024
This Haku represents a partial portion of American life in the way people live people give up on themselves and decide they don't want to work they don't want to exert any extra energy and they beg for the rest of our lives this flowed well read well and had no grammar issues adjective content as well as objektiv were excellent descriptive measures were perfect also thanks for this dr.

Comment from Hitcher
It is becoming more and more of the norm which is not good, I heard on the news the other week here in NZ that they estimate that we have around 43,000 homeless people , a lot of those live in cars and vans with there entire family, it is madness. Great little haiku Gypsy : )

Comment from DR DIP
It's a sad situation that fellow man has to live on the streets in the very place you walk each day I think this sums up his plight in a real and poignant way Well done

Comment from Barb Hensongispsaca
Now that is a satori line to wake us from our comfort of our homes. The imagery is excellent and the picture does add to the piece but the line of importance is dramatic

Comment from Mustang Patty
Hi, Gypsy;
Your little haiku speaks volumes about your soft heart. It is so hard to see the homeless making due during the cold and rainy weather. I'm sure your heart hurt as you walked past him,

Comment from BOO ghost
I been there and done that. I preferred bridges. A lot of homeless want to be homeless is what I discovered being homeless. We would donate blood and come back to the bar to get a beer. The escape responsibilities. Also,is a thrill of catching trains. Some are mentally ill. Once, when I was homeless in Roanoke, Va, I saw two cops beat a homeless man sleeping on a bench, near a street bus top. The cops made eye contact with us and followed us into a bar. They knew we saw them beat him, they came in but we were safe as long as we stayed inside. I slept inside a cardboard box too. I did work part time. I kinda know what goes in their head. Thanks for sharing!

Thank you for sharing your story with me, Boo. It's true, some people choose to disassociate from society. I don't think anybody 'chooses' to be homeless per se... it's a hard life. A lot of homeless do have mental problems or drug problems. I worked for homeless people for three years.
Thank you very much for the excellent review and warm words, my friend.
