I write because I have to. To do anything else is dishonest.

observations
There is value in taking some time to sit back and observe what's going on around you. Take a normal occurrence you observed in the world- a man consoling a crying child in a crowded bus, a fox running across the road- and turn it into a poem or a story. get creative :) and tag me @ubiquitous.

An Old Man Hobbled
An old man hobbled
Down a street
Light in his mind
But heavy on his feet
He can’t remember his past;
It’s just as well
He stepped up a kerb
Stumbled, almost fell
He was a sportsman
In his day
Fast and furious
Those who knew him say
An old man hobbled
Down a street
Smiling kindly
To those he would meet
His family love him
Does he know?
He loves them back
But does it show?
An old man hobbled
Down a street
A ready smile
He won’t admit defeat.
And I smiled, too.
My day complete
As an old man hobbled
Down a street.
