The Escalator.
With measured,
mechanized descent
we stage an entrance
to the Mall
human humdrum
backs the busker
picking black notes
bluesy runs
Cardboard Blotter
Workmen threw
white cardboard down
all along some
flagstone lines
black gloss railings
newly coated
excess drips
as pavement art.
Cityscape,
an abstract forest
inkblot test for passers-by
The Mews
Cobbled roadway,
framed in brick
designed so horse
and coach shan't slip.
Two door stables
modernized
now high performing
horsepower prized
Big Mac Retrospective
They took a bite
and left it there
in the spotlight
garbage bagged
'still life waiting'
installation
on the concourse
at the station
The Mannequin
kaleidoscoped
in small glass panes
bold print fabric
blank the stare
she holds her folds
with outward arms
annunciating
haute couture
Gimme Shelter
A two bin refuge
rustic lean-to
acrylic gambrel
drums in rain
almost dry
and almost cosy
single homeless
room to spare
Illusion
The train departs
and the station slithers past
all steel and glass
For Open Link Nights @dVerse Lisa offers up an optional picture prompt but I’ve opted instead for this 7 verse ekphrastic poem which was inspired by Kerfe’s comment on my recent post: Seven London Squares-click photo for optional closer view
