The Difference
I. Solitude
A bachelor
stands outside his house
alone, discovering
cool breezes, sunny leaves
and birdsong
no one to say such gentle joys
are unmanly.
II. Loneliness
That bachelor discovering
no house-keys in his pocket.
Incorporating suggestions from all critics, great ideas, thanks.
