I move faster than snowflakes
Running down the street sidewalk
I open my mouth, sweet taste
Snow’s unique flavor

sweltering hot days
fried my eggs on the sidewalk
flowers pray for rain
earthlings ignore their Mother
the Devils in the details

My favorite season.
Not too hot and not too cold.
Red and orange leaves.
Loud, crunching on the sidewalk.
A gentle breeze in my hair.

I'm stuck on this sidewalk alone
I can't contact god with no phone
Confusing religion
No carrier pigeon
Why doesn't god send down a drone?

Shameful Neglect and Ignorance

Sheer stupidity,
          human neglect...
          Wash car on the sidewalk
          and with water hose,
          a complete waste... !

Lover On the Sidewalk

its was cold 
we took a stroll
my love and eye
as othe pass by
we  held hands
kiss like this
it was as we sweet talk
LOVER ON THE SIDEWALK

Suburban Sidewalk

An ancient hitching-post survives
Too strong and stable to tear down;
The horse-drawn cart no more arrives,
For Time has altered Man and town.

May I have the pleasure of this dance?
I hope I have a better chance
than the sliding snail you see and stalk, 
slowly slinking on the sidewalk.

Premium Member Hot Summer Concrete--

sunny afternoon
a wide, slim sidewalk wallows
a burning building

people standing firm
sidewalk engaging flat feet
sun heated concrete

He saw a flower once,
Dandelion – he thinks,
growing in a city sidewalk
near a rock strewn park.

Witnessing Road Kill

Walking down sidewalk
Watching cars pass by and by
Looks from side to side

In dismay looks down
Now hating every roadster 
Death smears on one tire

Premium Member The Sidewalk Glances at Me

  The steady beat of rain on my head
    I glance at the sidewalk
    It glances at me
      bone dry as can be ~ 
   Are we alive or dead, verily

Age Rage

Agnes McFearson was eighty-five
And insisted she should still drive.
She drove on the sidewalk
And for lights didn’t stop.
26 fellow citizens didn’t survive.
