Sad Notes

Watch the moon rise
Over the trees;
That mystic pearl

~~~~~~~~~


Here by this bench
Sad notes incline;
A lonely face

~~~~~~~~~


A fat cat sits
By concrete wall;
Stares blankly

~~~~~~~~~


Moonlight tonight
Feel mystic glow;
Romantic feel

~~~~~~~~~


Lunatic wiles
Evening interlude;
Awakening charms

~~~~~~~~~


Evening news flash
Terrible tragedy;
Tianjin explosion

~~~~~~~~~


Tons of chemicals
Sodium cyanide;
Death proliferates

~~~~~~~~~


Newspaper sells
Tales of destruction;
Death toll rises

~~~~~~~~~


Here we go
Crisscross each to each;
Global village song

~~~~~~~~~


Poetry slam
Word offerings;
Rude spectacle

~~~~~~~~~


Touch of empty
Breeze through fingers;
A void speaks

~~~~~~~~~
