Cityscapes
Early morning agenda
Buzz of Monday surprise;
Ordinary work day styles
~~~~~~~~~
Crowds congregate
Train station congestion;
Sea of mobile handsets
~~~~~~~~~
Heartland playground
Toddlers re-invent playtime;
Happy commotions
~~~~~~~~~
Sea of blank faces
Each a fine story;
Checkmate situation
~~~~~~~~~
Odd one out
Smiling old uncle;
Good morning sunshine
~~~~~~~~~
Muted cacophony
Three old ladies talk;
Hypermart bargains
~~~~~~~~~
Headline news screams
Another war somewhere;
Quirky exhortations
~~~~~~~~~
Obituary page today
Sample faces gone away;
Passage to a new world
~~~~~~~~~
So much sadness here
Suffering outbursts implode;
Quiet desperation
~~~~~~~~~
Neighbourhood police visit
House call noise complaint;
Seeking autographs
~~~~~~~~~
Bougainvillea outburst
Maroon, orange, pink, violet;
Shades of heated arguments
~~~~~~~~~
Rain clears hazy outlines
Skyline now crystal clear;
Original apparitions
~~~~~~~~~
Listen now and hear
Crickets melodrama;
Nightfall by city fringes
~~~~~~~~~
