I always enjoy your poems Jaybird but this one is exceptional. I see it was written long ago but it stands the test of time.
Loved the sentiment and the punch line was great.
Well done.
Blessings

I enjoyed reading this uplifting poem. I liked the light blue background as it gave this poem a very delicate and tender tone. Very well written. Thank you for sharing.

With your usual meticulous meter, you have created another thought provoking poem.
Conformity is one of man's biggest flaws. It's lonely not feeling part of the huger crowd, but spiritually, it's the right path. Hugs, Lou

Once again you have created a simple yet fascinating take on life--I have no idea who you were referencing in this poem, if anyone in particular, although Martin Luther King Jr. comes to my mind. This was most enjoyable, as always
All the Best!

Every now and again someone comes along that does not fit the norm.
they stand out from the crowd yet no one can say why. They are happy in their world and are not influenced by others. These people are hard to get to know ,but when we do they become an example to us all.
Great poem.

4 1/2 stars, more precisely. My fellow-Kentuckian Jaybird 1 writes both simply and eloquently of his much-admired, and anonymous, fellow-traveler, who presumably has left the earth-plane. Long may Jaybird 1 sing.

The lonely life of the different.
Not sure I understand the "absurdity" bit, unless he dressed strangely.
OH! He is a monk? or one of those in orange robes? If so, "Now he stands alone"? Or, maybe he was just different - a dreamer, like you said.
Whatever he was, I like your poem. Rather wistful. very nice.
