Best Cityscapes Poems

Deserted financial centre
Ghost town after dark;
Weekend constellations

~~~~~~~~~

Blank myth created
To express a fond wish;
Merlion antiquity

~~~~~~~~~


Old neighbour nods
Smiles in recognition;
Civilised exchange

Sing-song Good Morning
Little boy entertains;
Proud parent smiles...

Early morning agenda
Buzz of Monday surprise;
Ordinary work day styles

~~~~~~~~~


Crowds congregate
Train station congestion;
Sea of mobile handsets

~~~~~~~~~


Heartland playground
Toddlers re-invent playtime;
Happy commotions

~~~~~~~~~


Sea of blank faces
Each a fine story;
Checkmate...

Will disagree
On taxation and prosperity
On liberty and duty

To settle on the city's wreck
Of buildings broke by wicked spell
Called by fate's destructive beck.

Two birds in flight, amongst the vultures breeding brood...
They fly above majestic mountains and seductive cityscapes,

Nocturnal screams of voices beamed
Through sacrificial sacred skies
Insanity on a killing spree
With tears crusted crucified cries

On Angels wings flying thin
As the multitudes will divinely...

a flustered tango of Gypsy moths 
drumming the porchlight; chalk artists; 
the endemic disappearance of farms—silos lost

The most beautiful birthplace? Why, Donegal of course.
Having travelled the world, I have no remorse,

Arsenals of axes brought by the crate
Pedals increasing experimental
Trashy dissections of raw cityscapes
NYC rockers gone transcendental
 
Static blasts shredding the off-key high pings
Maracas hit toms...

visions of atmosphere
scattered illuminate
faintly lid, the world is blear
the latitude of nighttime sky

June conspires
Sun and rain and wind;
Equatorial somnolence

Awakened in my youth,

No bones picked clean by virtue's rage 
Against all sins left un-forgiven.
