O ~ One City Street













One City Street~

A plastic meadow pretends to belong

on a comfortable street,

where nostalgia grows flowers

neatly in rows,

and nearby houses

collect the living

for others to appraise.

  4. You write the best poems. You should create a collection in a book and get them published. They are just awesome!!

  7. You should turn this into a song. "where nostalgia grows flowers" - i imagine myself and my girls singing that in the car.

    this had flow and emotional impact

    1. If only I were able to write music... perhaps I will learn how to do that one day, for now it would require collaboration (which I am not opposed to) in order to make it a reality.

      Thank you Lance :-)
