laugh 
                     comical, hysteric 
          guffawing, chuckling, snickering 
cheerfulness, amusement, squeal, caterwaul,
          grieving, whimpering, sniveling,
                   upset, lachrymose,
                              cry

Metropolis

There survives a burg, strangled by,

A fume as thick as thieves,

Where soaring glass stalagmites screen,

The adroit aggrieved.

Skyscrapers and broad avenues,

Where vast trains shunt and squall,

Where soaring glass stalagmites screen,

The vestige’s caterwaul.

Where night tide is perennial,

The gargoyles chill and ward,

Aged curves and finials resist,

Thick gnarling walls contort.

Premium Member Inland Seagulls

I hear the distinctive cry of seagulls
Although I am far from the sea

In my imagination I see
A violent sea, with crashing waves
Spray raining down onto the promenade
Fishermen stranded in their boats, awaiting rescue
The lifeboat traversing it’s ramp into the sea

Wheeling seagulls caterwaul to each other
“Today, the fish are too deep to catch,
We need to eat – let’s fly inland
And scavenge instead of fishing”.

Routine of Terror

The walls of despair hides in the dark
Who can phantom the blood guilt of shame?
One moment there is a smile but the night ends in grief

The nightmare of uncertainty rests in the heart of potential 
The mind is captured by the caterwaul of regret 
Voices refuse to cease due to the human condition 

How can one escape from this voracious world?
She slanders her own name
Individualism screams for liberty 
Yet, we're trapped by our own understanding
