THE WAY PEOPLE WALK
by Daniel Clyne
From their heads to their toes
Their lilts and their throws
Heads on right
Heads on tight
You can see what it means
What goes on in their beans
It's not what they talk
It's the way people walk
A telling sign
The mean and the kind
With every step
The lame and adept
It's what they are
It shows in their stock
All is told
In the way people walk

This is intriguing! We're admonished to "walk the walk," and this poem tells it well. Do you mind if I share this with friends & family?

I totally love the idea behind this poem! I'd never thought of it that way before. Great job!
Your poem gave me a new perspective! THANKS
Excellent! I love having poetry here. Thanks for sharing.
Shannon,
Please share. I would love the exposure.
Very clever idea, well presented. The meter isn't quite right, if that matters to you.What I mean is , the syllables in the different stanzas do not match. It may not matter, but would make a smoother flowing poem if they were.
I ditto Sarah; I'm glad there's poetry, and that you could present such profound thoughts through it!
