Notes About The Poem

 

 

This poem was inspired by in my interest in colour and the environment 

 

Magenta Skyline Cluster

First blush fountain azimuth of hued rays
wet patio shrub basket in the haze
zealous heartland tower cry as life force
celebrate and  savour August rare days

Magenta skylines cluster silken clouds
blue ocean colour eyes that worship shrouds
a fancy surreal canvass so divine
it mesmerises jubilant bright crowds

Summer fun arcades stoke our dream world mind
gasps of red tint bliss a peak season find
earthbound  poise dilates refulgent cascade
rocking beach tune fare blurs dark strain purblind

Sapphire plinths that anchor stoic ambit
vision on parade my high rise gambit
traipse amid the dahlia euphoric
seventh heaven rapture’s cloud nine orbit

The poem showcases exceptional linguistic proficiency, adept imagery, and an exploration of the consequences of progress. Your portrayal of contrasting perspectives is truly masterful, Haword. Undoubtedly, the depiction of the skyline must have been a sight of unparalleled beauty.
