He held up a sign / I could not read, driving by / but guessed what it said.

Its hard to push “like” button, because this is so sad. But, you really captured a homeless scene through your car window. And the haiku is perfect. You could submit this to a photo contest (with the haiku)

I know…”like” does not cover it at all…almost inappropriate, unless you think of it as “liking” that something was written about, but NOT “liking” the thing portrayed or the message… Maybe there should be an “appreciate”, “I agree, but am saddened by it” or other type of button…? But thanks for the compliment on this one – we drove past him to the stop light, and as I watched him in my rear view mirror, the haiku sprang into my thoughts…

I just love it when creative thoughts like that spring up unexpectedly.
