80. Ode to Strangers: Go people watching and write an ode to a stranger you see on the street.
Noon time sidewalk in a crush
People seeking food and drink
Business people on by they brush
Who knows what they think?
Why does everyone always wear black?
Is to match the mood or sky?
The grayness of the day does lack
The very essence of the question why.
Too crowded and cold for me today
The bustle all too bleak
I scurry to get out of everyone’s way
As I maneuver through another week.
Although I had to search for the definition of ode, I did find the blog entry How to write an ode which had very helpful suggestions.
