Rush Hour

Written May 6, 2025, For Contest Sponsored by: Nette Onclaud

          ************

Red on green traffic run,
hasty flags of pink shun
one hour before high sun.

Feel the surge of spate wind,
icy kiss grooms the rind
tiptoe through rush hour, timed.

I felt the anxiety, and yet a sense of a professional's gliding right along as usual, and as if he were tiptoeing through the tulips. Brilliant!

SP, you do give me the feeling I'm in the rush and on a deadline to get wherever it is I need to be. The language and construction you use allow my imagination to run through the streets in all sorts of ways. Smiles!
