Endangered Species

Girl in red, a dress Pleated down to her knees, skips Down the lonely street. Man in black beret Sunshades set on face, striding Down the narrow street. Girl turns, sees this chap Hurries her steps, man does so too Girl runs, man runs too.

Scary scenario - great visual poetry. I think they are senryu - they are not about nature. Keep up the good work! Peace & Love Matthew Anish
