Sad Notes
Watch the moon rise
Over the trees;
That mystic pearl
~~~~~~~~~
Here by this bench
Sad notes incline;
A lonely face
~~~~~~~~~
A fat cat sits
By concrete wall;
Stares blankly
~~~~~~~~~
Moonlight tonight
Feel mystic glow;
Romantic feel
~~~~~~~~~
Lunatic wiles
Evening interlude;
Awakening charms
~~~~~~~~~
Evening news flash
Terrible tragedy;
Tianjin explosion
~~~~~~~~~
Tons of chemicals
Sodium cyanide;
Death proliferates
~~~~~~~~~
Newspaper sells
Tales of destruction;
Death toll rises
~~~~~~~~~
Here we go
Crisscross each to each;
Global village song
~~~~~~~~~
Poetry slam
Word offerings;
Rude spectacle
~~~~~~~~~
Touch of empty
Breeze through fingers;
A void speaks
~~~~~~~~~
