Worked with Compare and Contrast-intersection-juxtaposition, etc.
I did achieve the effect I wanted.
Extract from "New Lives"
First published in David Fraser's beautiful blog called Ascent Aspirations: Friday Poems. The piece can be read in its entirety by going to the blog, clicking Friday's Poems at top left, choosing 2017 poems and then scrolling to February 3rd. (it's not too far down)

New Lives
A piece of trash
A woman
Thrown out the door
Thrown out of the house
Lies in the street
Walks the streets
By itself
Alone
Forgotten
Abandoned
It's original use unremembered.
No longer loved by one who did.
Afterthoughts for "New Lives"
I see when men love women. They give them but a little of their lives. But women when they love give everything.
Yet, taught by time, my heart has learned to glow for other's good, and melt at other's woe.
Truth is everybody is going to hurt you: you just gotta find the ones worth suffering for.
