Written for:  Poetic Bloomings2 - Prompt #354 - Edward Hopper

"It seems the paintings and works of artist Edward Hopper are great fodder to inspire other artists in their endeavors. We as poets have come across this from time to time. Many an Ekphrastic poem has sprung from these offerings. Some show the desolation of the human condition, or the interaction of the same."

Today I offer three such works for your poetic interpretation:

Each painting expresses something and it’s your job to relate what it says to you. Choose one and tell us what you see!

Streets stripped bare.
No sign of life
anywhere on this
seventh day of
the week.  Wearing
the last decent clothes
in his closet, he sits
on sidewalk fronting
his old place of
business.  He knows
he is lost again.
He does not know why.
