great photo and haiku. i can't imagine the loneliness one must feel to be living on the streets.
your haiku reminds me of the beggars on the church steps in rome...so sad...a loneliness i cannot even imagine.
Yes, an unbearable kind of lonely. Good job.
Maybe he is a quiet buddha...which may be less lonely but at least passing through....great haiku and photo.
Thanks,
barone
Loads of beggars in Rome indeed, waiting outside churches, isolated by poverty.
Great haiku.
Good to remember, poverty and loneliness still exist.
What are we fighting for ?
this was excellent.. the loneliness of being an "outcast " must be unimaginable
Beautiful shot
Reminds me of a man I saw in NYC 35 years ago. A universal plight with no end in sight.
Surely a great photo and haiku. The world is so much the same and you captured it well!
Lonely in a crowd, such terrible place to be...
So sad!
Sooo lonely!
So beautifully expressed!
The way the scene is captured "through bars" I think makes it. Thank you.
haunting...yet, beautiful..the photo is excellent...love the angle with the fence...
very nice poem and photo, makes me sad, though
A perfect depiction -- in words and image -- of loneliness.
Oh, wow!! This went right to my heart -- very, very touching.
beyond deep...
