streetlights on highway
performing flashing lightshow
the dance of the bulbs

artificial lights
flowing by in endless streams
brighten up your night

universe colors
creation of mankind's mind
uncaged by their speed





A rose is a rose is a rose...I guess...

amazing photo...did you take it????

your words, of course, are senryu or senyru, I can't recall which, because they don't have to do with nature

no matter what form this is, it's wonderful!

Cpat Hair, glad you enjoyed

Bill, thanks for your kind reply

VAS, the photo was taken by a friend driving home after a visit (uses his digital camera). Well that is: his wife drove for he was too busy taking pictures, I've more of them.

Irish Rose, yes, they're senryus, VAS was right, hesitated for a moment, thanks for reading.

as a child, driving in the city at night was my favorite....I used to think it was magical, and that something really wonderful was waiting for me there......now I know, I'll always be a country girl....but the lights are still pretty to me   I liked these very much

Fabulous!  Your imagery is great here.  For someone who was a little hazy about the form they were using, you certainly have used it quite skillfully!

Lighthousebob, that's a poem in itself, thank you.

Krista, I'm  , you're too kind. I do love to write them, cause then I won't have to think up rhyming words

Beautiful photo and I loved the verse. Them lights can play tricks on you especialy if you ever see them with a tear in your eye.

Do not fear going forward slowly,
Fear only standing still.
