Matthew Anish Poet Free verse

Rainy Afternoon In Late September

Leaves on the trees outside my room 
Dance in the winds while automobiles rush by 
on an adjacent highwasy
Clouds block the sun 
I believe I can see the bridge from my window 
A massive structure standing proudly connecting the boroughs 
Many lives were lost as the structure was being built 
Man's creations rise up to challenge infinity
Our finite minds and hearts leave their mark on eternity 
Rain continues to fall outside my room 
Afternoon becomes night - night morphs into morning 
Moving, moving  - Therein lies our hope
We believe that there will always be another dawn 
   "One more chance"

Elizabeth Wesley September 7, 2011 at 7:59 PM Those structures just keep climbing higher. The city is so real in your verse and Your expressions give us country folk reason to be happy where we are. I enjoyed.

Caroline Cécile Delacroix September 6, 2011 at 11:30 PM We sure do, and it should be so. Well done, and very picturesque scene from your window. As you already know, I love your work! Thanks for sharing. Love and peace, Caroline.
