Tinsel Town

tinsel town late at night early in the morning after all of the glitter has fallen dripping down the worn facades scenes worn into pretences of water colour puddles like gasoline rainbows on wet streets soon, mere ghost echoes absorbed into walls and walkways wanders off directionless without mouths egos rise from the leftovers bleak bland dawn walkers trod the ashen border of day afraid of the light yet drawn to the promise of warmth real human heat from working hearts vampires of counterfeit existence covet the sun but turn before melting lost once again in their imitation of life.

I could not agree more than with George's excellent comments - gripping imagery indeed! Your ability to express what you see around you in such a highly descriptive way is most commendable, Patricia -- it is one of the many things that makes your poems so compelling! :) john P.s Hope you are warm and secure tonight... and enjoying your poetry. :)

I like that word 'smith' of words. I take words from a net, in which I caught them during the night and cobble them together to make an idea become visible. Thank you Darren.
