    Poem Commentary

    I interviewed a homeless man as an assignment for one of my classes when I was in college

    A Homeless Man

     
    A homeless man lived behind a liquor store
    He asked me for money but I gave him more
    The owner told the man to go away
    The store was losing customers who pay
    I asked if he would like to shower and change
    And a better location I could easily arrange 
    I talked briefly about a homeless shelter
    Its not much but it is a lot better
    He looked into my eyes and knew I was sincere
    But he said that he really likes it here
    He manages to eat three meals a day
    And even made a bed from a bale of hay
    He told me that he isn't a homeless man
    But he calls himself a man of the land

    A poem begins as a lump in the throat, a sense of wrong, a homesickness, a lovesickness. It finds the thought and the thought finds the words.

    Robert Frost (1875-1963) American Poet.
