A Poem From Leftover Thoughts!A Poem by Michael StevensWhat should I do with these leftover pieces?A Poem From Leftover Thoughts!
Sitting here; what should I write
about?
I’ve got nothing but bits and pieces
of thought
Oh well, here goes nothing;
A one-eyed owl keeps watch on the
barn;
A cross-eyed stranger stares back
from the mirror
An old man plays solitaire and waves
to the crowd
A lonely widow waits by the phone,
willing someone will take away her
pain
A loner sits alone in his room,
watching out his window as the children
play,
dreaming of joining in, but knowing
he won’t
A mangy dog watches the spoiled
poodle with envy,
with his golden collar, and his
snobby owner
A homeless man sleeps under the
bridge,
and dreams of castles, where he once
lived
Well, looks like that’s it for
today, maybe tomorrow
