Thanks Jen, I was trying to upload a picture but for some reason msn isn't letting me. I've been fascinated by a picture called L'Absinthe by Edgar Degas and have written quite a few poems. Its one of those pictures where I just keep seeing something different in it - the sadness of the womans expression, her companion - hope that explains but your comment was pretty apt actually about the lost souls x
haha Steve and thanks for the comment, you see a lot of people hanging outside doorways having their illicit puffs x
Thank you Maria, I suppose a lot of people can relate to these things, I suppose as a writer I find myself looking at people and wondering, weaving stories in my head x
Thanks Kayano, I'm glad if this got you thinking, I appreciate that comment very much x
Thanks Cara, I'm sorry to hear of your mother, that must be very painful to you. I think many lives are lost in this type of sadness and the sadness they create, thank you for the comment and I don't think bellboy is inappropriate - I suppose these days there are different names for them - but a bellboy is as good as any x
