The Man at the Door

Theme: A closed door, an open window

He tried all his keys, bells and knocks,
no amount of effort got the door to unlock.
Tried once more, but all was in vain,
A look of defeat, cast all over his face.

A gaze at the window, open and bare,
longing and wishing for a lack to care,
he sighs once more, and tries once again!

Now shouting to be heard by the other side,
but all he got were the nearby eyes that reside.
Gossiping all about the man at the door,
"Why is he here?" and "What is this for?".

He gazes once more at his alternate option,
the window, open without no caution.
It taunts him to his face once more:
"Come through me!" it screams, mocking and laughing,
now making fun, like we who are watching.

Now banging and screaming, a final attempt,
at trying to succeed with his dignity intact.
and to avoid a solution that many abhor.
He'll come back tomorrow and try again once more...
