We often misread what is plainly displayed in our view. The simple way is always the best way. What a man has does not show you the true man. Strip him of his possessions and you will see a man that quite different from the man with the many possessions. Many who fake importance are hiding behind the things they own, without their wealth, they are next to nothing. Which is the motivation for their fighting so hard to hold onto them.

I enjoyed your poem, Jay. Your lines read well with great imagery. Good job with the rhymes, too. You described one who lives by his principles when others seem to join fads, etc. Thanks for sharing. Respectfully, Jan

This is a great poem, Jay. Your acquaintance seems like the type of fellow we should all strive to be more like.
Very well written with a smooth easy flow and the rhyming is perfect. Take care, my friend...Bill

you said he walked alone-I truly believe that we are never alone when we walk. When we write on FS I love the support we get. Sometimes its not always what we want to hear but comments make us better writers.

I love this. The rhythm is great and makes for easy reading. Like other reviewers I thought of Jesus as I read it and then it made me think of my beloved uncle who we lost just before Christmas. He was an uncommon man, a man who truly lived his life well. Thank you for a great read and for the memories your poem evoked for me.

I like that you wrote about a crazy man. I think he probably fell off his rocker. Kidding! Interesting poem. I have enjoyed reading it. Excellent work!

The author's words are interesting, inspiring, kind and thought provoking.
I really enjoyed the theme of this poem. It was heart felt to me and I really
liked the author's clear description of this "uncommon man". The poem
flows and connects well.

This is so well-written and moving. You have taken the reader on quite a journey, recounted through the eyes of one who once viewed morality as foolishness--but learned better.

"A non-conforming dreamer, he
did shun our social code.
With what we call absurdity,
he walked the lonely road."
Amen! Amen, my friend... Good job here as always. : ) Bob
