About This Poem

Little victories

The city moves and laughs and sings
Of lurid lights and fancy things 
Of static electricity 
And many opportunities 

The acid clouds are dismal gray 
Leave not a single trace of day 
Wind withers and regains its speed
A buried, lonely poplar seed 

But while the city screams and clanks 
And people march in suited ranks 
A little light the clouds do show
Wait now, the seed begins to grow

    I LOVE the contrast you show between man and nature, and that ending is truly awesome. I think it's time to add you to my favourite poets list!

    In the midst of all this chaos there's still countless signs of life... in big ways and small. I like the way you capture the great triumph of the seed growing in contrast to the millions of things that could go wrong. Awesome work!

    Great write, Jeremy! I especially like the line "and people march in suited ranks." Great rhyme and flow! Love, Kim
