    Poem Commentary

    Tonight I am going to sleep in a box to get a feel of how homeless people live. If it is bad then i'll be back in a few days to bug people to help the poor homeless. Sadly no one is brave enough to join me in the box or even in the tent, so I will go alone with one dog. Although the dog is an idiot, I love him dearly, and he annoys everyone too much when i'm even a room away from him, so he has to sleep with me.

    Tent of Boxes

     A cardboard box
    So small and cozy

    My life is so restless
    My bed is so hard
    As i sleep outside
    In a cardboard box

    With a tent
    Connected to the box

    My dogs in the tent
    With lots of blankets

    Me in a box
    With cardboard bellow

    My tent is a box
    But with more boxes
    It's a tent of boxes

    Boxes to hold me
    A tent to craddle my dogs
    All is well
    With my tent of boxes

    A poem begins as a lump in the throat, a sense of wrong, a homesickness, a lovesickness. It finds the thought and the thought finds the words.

    Robert Frost (1875-1963) American Poet.
