A hectic stare across the cliff, grabs my prying mindfulness. but yet I hanker after urban fare, such ruptured loyalty alas, has a solid grip as I inhale, the rampant toxic seaweed odor, for which release a bland choice, as bulging dark gray torrents, remind us of some threat, a fancy name as birthmark, blemish, or craven riddle, consequential strain I fear, might alter this delay, how city haven slant, bustle, blast, benign graft, has fallout clearly vetted, sink block, suction pump, remedial quick brush off, two rocky worlds aside, where common ground, that less distinct blight, consuming blind thought, downpour on the crevice, outskirt mere sideshow, flight a gut reaction say, let valor plot or plod, whatever barren sabotage, malaise, daft wanton dash, each muddled exit’s close loop, one must master by right, ominous veil now pending, scatter brained inkling wrought, lure, allure, attachment beckons, departure problematic when pressed, bursts of rain, bursts of sound, seeking shelter but clueless, would things be otherwise, in large built up areas, I ponder this dilemma, while dreaming of fair vales, or mystic laneways of yore

A poem showing the conflict between the allure of natural landscapes and the pull of urban life. The internal struggle as you contemplate the contrast between the chaotic urban environment and the serene beauty of natural landscapes. The poem delves into the emotional turmoil and longing for a different, more peaceful way of life. Wonderful poem, Howard.

I enjoyed Dark Grey Torrent. It showed frustration of change. Years of yore, I presume, are terminally gone. Very sad.
