Question: What is your opinion towards this poem!?
Nursing Home Eyes
by Todd-Michael St!. Pierre
Look into my window,

Observe synthetic flowers

Swaying to a ceiling fan breeze,

And a wallflower, wheelchair- bound at that!.

For hours I look out

I see concrete, undernourished shrubs,

Cars and bikes rush by

And they keep me company!.

Faded draperies

Speak for years that have fallen behind me!.

Suddenly a slave to nostalgia

And withered memories!.

Do you see the photographs on my vanity!?

Notice how they stare back at me

With abstract smiles for the elderly!.

I know they are too busy!.

Everyone has his own life to live!.

I understand!

Hey !. !. !. would you look into my world!?

Share a thought!?

I know you have no time to visit!.

Yes I am still here,

Alone, but alive!.

Of course the theme is loneliness and the 'poem' is about a elderly person in a rest home or forgotten somewhere!.
It is a painfully obvious narrative!. I wouldn't say it has much value as a poem!. It is too descriptive with out the structure and symbolic depth of a poem, prose or otherwise!.
