Poem -
STANDING IN THE COLD
Like 8 Pin it 4STANDING IN THE COLD,
WATCHING THE PARADE GO BY
WHEN THE OLD MAN TOLD MEÂ
ABOUT HIS LIFE TOLD ME HIS
WIFE WAS GONE HE SANG MEÂ A
SONG AND IT WASNTÂ LONG BEFORE
HE WAS GONE,I WAS STANDING IN THE COLD
WAITING FOR TRAIN WATCHING
ALL THE PEOPLE THAT WERE IN PAINÂ
NONE OF THEM WENTÂ INSANE
WHENÂ IT STATED TO RAIN I WATCH IT ALL GO
DOWN THE DRAIN, ÂI WAS STANDING IN THE COLD
WATCHING THEÂ CIRCUS COME TOÂ
TOWN AND ALL THE CLOWNSÂ
LOOKED DOWN ALL HAD FROWN
ON THEIR FACE ONE CLOWNÂ
WORE A CROWN ON HIS HEAD
HE SAID BEWARE OF THE DEADÂ
BUT I WONT DREADÂ WHEN THEY FLEDÂ
AWAYÂ Â I WAS STANDING IN THE COLD,

❤️🌹❤️  thank you kind of a bit of a science fiction tape poem  it’s like almost all the people that are getting on the train are zombies or could be zombies used to work at a store and I would watch all these people coming and going and some of them will stop and talk tell me about their lives five minutes is all it  takes I didn’t mind I liked it
You have managed to convey a feeling of utter loneliness here Greg..great write.đź’–
Standing in the cold. Braving the storm, choosing not to accept what others do... Greg, I feel as if your way of writing always has awesome meanings and undertones to it. You are an absolutely fantastic writer my friend. Hope you are well.Â
Thank you fish it’s an old poem wrote years ago and Cosmo it does have a meaning yesÂ
If you think about it and you watch people all the time it is about life would you have done many times and listen to many people
Very surreal this one Greg and thank heavens for that. Loved reading this for it seems like a real borderline knife-edge your on, between this world and the next.
Like trying to decode a dream and its hidden meanings, when you write like this and so splendidly it is lavish in the imagery you have so cleverly conjured up.
Loved reading this and loved reading between your lines.
A bewitching poem that really pulls a reader in and delivers in poetry imagery spades.
Thanks Greg for writing and sharing something from poetry's left field and one to make a reader certainly think.
Stay safe and stay healthy, top marks to you and also enjoy poetry and life.
Thank you Shaun it’s kind of a science-fiction if you think about it standing there watching the parade go by and someone comes up to talk to you talking about there life I love poems like thisÂ
Greg I love sci-fi and was captivated reading this one for it was so different from all your others.
Your writing and theme really impressed me and left a mark also.
