I admit it...I love to watch people. I catch myself even when we are dining out watching other people rather than enjoying my meal. People are just fascinating, especially when they don't think anyone is paying attention.
People watcher…
Silent I sit as many pass by… Little do they know what I see, things not intended for others or me. No, a peeping Tom I am not! Just a people watcher from a silent spot, I find myself watching others no matter the place, in the movies, at a ballgame, but parking lots are great… one would be surprised who they see secretly meeting for a date. I imagine sometimes what people might say, Especially when they whisper and look the other away. When they pull and tug their clothes I can’t help but giggle, it’s funny how wedgies make one wiggle. A secret kiss I saw one guy steal… A pinch on the bottom… with eyes of affection and a love that was real… I wonder about their lives… Are they happy, sad or just going through the motions? I saw two men with women…I know are not their wives! Heated arguments I witnessed once or twice, And a few passionate kisses with a lot of spice… A drink from a flax… I too have seen, From a dear little granny, That I bet could turn mean. A shoplifter I even saw… Of all the things… he stole a pack of meat, What a tangled web of deceit! Many stories pass through as I sit silent on this bench, I’ve grown so stiff to move me we might need a winch. I’m going home now only to return again, Man! A department store… is a regular den of sin! I leave with one other thing in mind… a bit worried that when I look over my own
Joyce, I'm a people watcher too. It's such great fun! Nice write!

One of my favorite thing to do...and sorry to say but when someone trip and fall...I laugh so good I cry...and sometimes lose a few drops in my own...lol....nevermind!!
This one reminds me of our late grandma; she was a people watcher extraordinaire, and I am too. I love watching people whenever I am out! Great write, Joyce; brava!

I'm a dyed in the wool people watcher, too, Joyce! This poem made me think of so many similar incidents I've watched. Some really great ideas for poems come that way LOL. I totally enjoyed your poem, my friend, told in the wonderful down-to-earth style I have come to love from you. Excellent.
Love,
