    Just for the sake of interest and fun I wanted to propose a poetry challenge, a sci forum contest......

    The idea is to compose a poem and maybe have it voted on later on a given subject.

    The subject I would like to suggest for this thread is:

    Busker


    As a starter he is my simple offering:

    Busker

    Echoes of melancholy, a moment of care
    His only witness
    The cold night air
    Sad sounds of loneliness,
    His desire to share
    The suffering, only he can express
    His reward, a bus fare.
    His hat on the ground begging for coin
    Empty, as his life,
    An emotional void
    No one to listen to what he has to say,
    No one to care whether he sees in another day.
    His solitary vigil awaits the dawn
    As the sun rises he packs his things
    wondering why he was born​
