I think of the past days
In the wind the willows float
I think of nowadays
It falls heavily the snows
I walk slowly on the road
Hungry and thirsty in my throat
Now I am sad but nobody knows

I think of how much I like this poem, and how powerful 7 lines can be. :)

Bravo for brevity - and how deeply this goes.

I bet the hunger and thirst go beyond just a feeling in the throat and you articulated that so well in just one stanza.

Well, actually your readers now know! and sharing sadness cuts it in half doesn't it.
You managed a lot in these few lines. But, although you've just been praised for your brevity, I'd venture to suggest (but it's only a suggestion) shorten your poem even more, giving up the road-throat rhyme so that the last two lines read:

hungry, thirsty and sad
though nobody knows.

or sth like that. Thanks for your poem.
