It takes no great boldness just a coldness, To walk these streets in hours of darkness. To stride over the well broken concrete That runs beside the forgotten old street There will be no repair for this byway Monies will be spent on super highway Where those fancy cars with their suits inside Demand a smoother and a gentle ride And care not for those that move on leather Protected not by steel from the weather They care not to go off from the fast lane Seeing nothing there’s nothing to explain They look not beyond the speeding headlights To see those that walk in the rainy nights. Gloom In a Sonnet Form |

Hi Gloomy  It's been a while since I've read your words. I see you're still amongst the shadows, only now your walking in them. Enjoyed the read of this.  [This message has been edited by WhiteRose (05-28-2003 04:16 PM).] |

Your attention to detail is so often overlooked PG. I find myself breaking down the words to study the construction, because like a well built house, the strength of your work is so often overwhelmed by the beauty. I leave, both impressed and moved... smooth.  |

"They care not to go off from the fast lane Seeing nothing there’s nothing to explain They look not beyond the speeding headlights To see those that walk in the rainy nights" ..reads like a song.... |

awesome write, gloom I loved the leather imagery, the seat versus the shoes; the side roads and alleyways compared to the fast lane... enjoyed the detail, precision, imagery, the insight |
