Urban Alleys - Poet's Dozen Contest
Urban Alleys – poet’s dozen contest
windblown city streets
becalmed trash waiting idly
beneath tour buses
sweet breeze that will release the steam
of gutter’s flowing stagnant stream
rats - red eyes in furtive glances
oil slicks glowing rainbow coats
squinting sunrise peeking in the alley
tarmac trash awaiting take-offs rippling rush
night stalkers counting up their tally
shape changing shadows on a soothing hush
fresh cleansing gust of air a city’s blush
