Things Left Behind in a Small Town Coffee Shop | An Original

[nordicsky]

P.S. I like your new video image, it is now as crisp and clear as your wonderful poetry.

[MsWriteNow]

Thank you Peter. Children remind me that the magic in the world is found within us.

[nordicsky]

I've been meaning to post a comment on this poem for sometime because its ideas seem to mirror my own experience. As I travel round London, I observe the people and things around me and wonder about their stories... "They catch my eye, plant seeds of questions in my mind." Children are good at this but many adults just can't do it. In this poem solid images lead to abstract thoughts...I think this is

the essence of poetry.

Thanks for posting this

Love, Peter

Your voice is great and the poem's evocative - it felt so familiar and still new!

[MsWriteNow]

Familiar and new - Thank you!!

[SriCassiopeia]

it's those oddities that help us realize who we are.

[MsWriteNow]

You know, you're absolutely right. I embrace my oddities :)

Thanks for all the comments Reid. I see you haven't changed :)

[dashpoet]

Delightful, lovely easy paced poem. 5*

[andrewnorris1]

Nice delivery of a wonderful poem. Clever to find so much inspiration from a simple situation, so much of the extraordinary in the seeming ordinary.

[PoetLina]

Just love the humour; your delivery was perfect. I once found a toothbrush in a school car park. Now, a comb or a piece of toast I can understand...! 5* Fav.

[tinySpectacle]

Lovely poem. This is a great subject and your articulation really brings insight into this tiny observance of things left behind.

[Idlinfarm]

I like your poem and your delivery. Nice!

[DavidRandallCurtis]

I always leave my dignity behind at coffee shops. :P great poem/fave/5*

[MsWriteNow]

So you WERE in town then! :-p

[ReidBaer]

I found your dignity in the dumpster behind the coffee shop.

;)

[PuppyZwolle]

Good to see and hear you again.

I wonder about stuff like that all the time.

And still I am stumped by my four year old that has even more questions.

More important and still I don't know all the answers.

Me? Dad, not knowing all the answers?

Where did that come from?

[MsWriteNow]

Good to 'see' you too.

The first step is acknowledging, the second is acceptance :) Do you make crazy stories up for the answers you don't know? I'd like to be a fly on the wall!

[PuppyZwolle]

I make stories up and make sure he knows I make them up.

"Why is is sky yellow?"

I look up to find he made a joke but to my amazement the sky is an almost lemon yellow.

"I have no idea. But maybe an angel flew by and had to take a piss."

[ReidBaer]

PuppyZzzzzzzzzzzzzz - you so crazy

;)

[MsWriteNow]

Disturbing imagery.

[wardancer]

Thanks MsWriteNow, you paint a vivid picture. Did you try calling the number on the napkin? It's the kind of thing I would think of doing.

[MsWriteNow]

Hmmm, never thought of doing that - would hate to confirm that a love interest left it behind. Thanks for listening.

[IraqIsWhack]

All the little things that make us think..5 stars..faved

[MsWriteNow]

Thanks, very much!

[doctorcatsburger]

I wish I could write like this !

I love it.

[MsWriteNow]

Thanks for listening !

[janeczka]

Great delivery. Is that a new camera?

[MsWriteNow]

Thank you. Not a new camera, just better lighting.
