Renhai Reflections 74: Close to Home
Close to Home
A Renhai by Janice Thomson (jt) & Vaughn Seward (vs)
Up-turned cap —
a coin tossed in evokes
a solemn, "Thanks." /vs
A blanket under the tree — /vs
close by, a tattered coat. /jt
Street corner —
he begs for dog food,
pups at his feet. /jt

I've heard that begging can be lucrative.
this certainly gives me some vivid head pictures.
Good series, Masago
Liked the first one more; perhaps I can relate well there :)

wonderful work, like you two always do.
yes wonderful work
john
you two really do amazing work.
the homeless problem is accute in ljubljana, too. and beggars from the eastern europe have flooded the streets,thus making life for the local bums even more difficult.
A rolling stone classic!:)
nice
much love

Hey, the little cheese dog treats ain't bad. The homeless should be a reminder to all of us:"There, but, for the grace of God..." Well done!
Thank you all!!!
Thanks from me too. :)

Just a variaton that popped into my head.
Hi,
I just heard that you two collaborate so I dropped by. (I've long read each of your comments on Floots' site when he accepted comments...)
My senses were awakened.Your combined talents paint a vivid, sad glimpse into life's struggles.
Excellent
Well done - observant without preaching or patronising. Always tricky to handle social issues well within poetry.
It is for the first that I just visited your site and I find it really interesting! Congratulations!
