An Urban Phenomena Poem by leonard daranjo

An Urban Phenomena

Rating: 5.0


Night was the faded negative
Rummaged from a family album
Trees were the elegant gymnasts
Petrified in a moment of time
From vast tracts of virgin land
Covered by woolly brush
And ponds gasping for oxygen
Came the hauntingly familiar
Nocturnal sounds
Which are sadly vanishing
In an urban quagmire

Superb use of metaphor to convey your nocturnal message. The music of the natural world goes fainter. Only the discerning soul can hear its inner cry. Very touching, Leonard. Warm regards, Sandra
