Poetry Day: I Want Your Greener Grass

(We’ve all been there or seen it in action.)

The lonely man watches
As the crowded man plays
With parents, wife, and child
He envies the connections
That he lacks within his life
He wanders off alone
With time he wants to share

 

The crowded man watches
As the lonely man relaxes
With no one to invade his space
He envies the quiet solitude
That he can never find at home
He is dragged away by them
With no time to call his own

About Charles Yallowitz

Charles E. Yallowitz was born, raised, and educated in New York. Then he spent a few years in Florida, realized his fear of alligators, and moved back to the Empire State. When he isn't working hard on his epic fantasy stories, Charles can be found cooking or going on whatever adventure his son has planned for the day. 'Legends of Windemere' is his first series, but it certainly won't be his last.
