THE ATMOSPHERE

Stars exploding in the skies
And I thought I wonder why
Drops of dew falling on the earth
Everything making a new birth

The golden sun shining on the sea
People in hats, and long dresses
Looking for their keys
Ice-cream dropping from their knees

An old man goes by with a wink in his eye
Raises his hat.
Newspapers are blowing along
A bandsman playing a song

Chairoplanes riding high
Children having to queue, and cry
A drunk comes out from a pub
Can you spare some change for grub.
-
People are coming to talk to me from all sides
My umbrella's blown inside out.
I must go my head's in a spin,
Our writing group is about to begin

This was also kindly put in "The Argus"
and "The big issue"
comments please!

New
Firework night
watch the stars cascading
in the atmosphere.
or an atmosphere can be
caused by a person saying
Oh" What an atmosphere in here.
