City Life

Ten city pigeons perched high on a building ledge; as snow falls on folded wings ~ Cold wind blows the snow as ten city pigeons sleep; and below the street noise roars. __________________________ October 31, 2020 Poetry/Sedoka/City Life Copyright Protected, ID 10-1299-344-31 All Rights Reserved, 2020, Constance La France Written for the Standard contest, Spin a Sedoka sponsor, Nette OnClaud, Theme - City Life, Judged 11/4/20 First Place Syllables verified on HMS

Congratulations on your win. You told a story in just a few words. When you have snow and pigeons, you want the white stuff to be snow that hits you. On vacation we got hit with pigeon. Enjoy your win and day writing away................
