Description
We saw this chap sitting on the South Bank selling his poetry skills. I'm not entirely sure what type of poem he writes when you pay him, but found him a fascinating character.

Well? Why not?
Great candid capture
Superb capture Carin. God bless.
Wow, he actually still uses a typewriter! A wonderful character portrait of this young man...
Typewriters are better..no electric required!
What initiative this young man has. Hope he did well.
A new take on 'starving artist'. This is a great character study. More remarkable to me is the fact that he apparently is able to find typewriter ribbons in this day and age.
very candid capture. as part of an English literature in high school I was asked to compose a poem. I failed
Thats interesting, never seen a poet in the street! Outstanding find 😀
Amazing character, superb candid capture!
'The boy stood on the burning deck, A pocket full of crackers. One fell down his trouser leg, And burn't off both his sand shoes'!
Interesting capture of someone I can't imagine advertising in the United States, Carin.
A fascinating capture Carin. I would be leary of anyone that can crank out a poem on demand!
When I lived in New York City, there were poets and 'historians' in booths, and they gave you poetry on the spot, or philosophy, or history---made up (this wasn't accurate history!)---for the price of a cup of coffee. This guy reminds me of them---except he's classy enough to have a typewriter! (And where did he find a typewriter??? What planet did he have to go to to find that relic?) Anyway, as a shot, I love the big swaths of bright hues---mainly beige and light browns---contrasted with the stark black of his coat, and the dark hues behind him and to his side. Love the contrasts. Really engaging shot.
(and is his name is "morbid books"??? catchy advertising!)
