Mixed emotions

I cannot get over how you are able to write a poem
with only one comma and one full stop, I think it's
very clever, because I couldn't do it. I seem to be
addicted to commas and full stops.

Anyway Pia this was very descriptive, I saw the
whole scene, very cleverly put together.

Hi Jenny
It may give meaning to some and others may think it lacking. Nevertheless I am glad for your comment. Thank you kindly

;)Pia

yes i quite liked it too...this bit particulary
"Loud music at all times
Day and night
Gunshots are an ordinary sound"

neat social comment and good beat.. tooo!

thanks Maisie

I think many will identify with this, Pia, especially these lines:-

"Generally a hubbub of life
And seldom pleasant silence
When you can only hear
the wind and the birdsong..."

I was born and bred in London, but couldn't wait to move to the countryside. Then again, one of my daughters found town-life far more agreeable. Wouldn't do for us all to be the same, I guess;-)

I think this is a really good snapshot of inner-city flat life, Pia.

I can totally identify with:

`But I’ll be moving out
I wasn’t born here
So I ain’t gonna die here either.
I’m gonna keep moving around
Until I find the perfect place..'

Trouble is - there IS no perfect place!

I don't mind the city life Tina- I just want a bit of foliage to look at and not just another apartment building. I have a couple of places in mind and the possibilities are not a utopia luckily. There is also a place by the sea I am looking at- it is all very promising. I just have to have patience and that I have- moving is no big deal for me. I am so glad that you found your place in the country-side. Beautiful. I want to live near a city or town so I don't have far to commodities (?)- shops cafés etc- so I suppose I am a bit choosy- haha
Thanks for reading and your lovely comment

Hi Coral

Well I am sure it will be more perfect than at the moment ;D
I am so glad you read this and picked out a stanza. I had fun writing it because I am really looking forward to moving. Got an offer just this morning but it is not quite right- ;D so I refused!! Gotta be a bit choosy to find the right place.
Thanks

The best of luck on your search, Pia, and do keep us posted;-) Tina

This is lovely, I could picture everything, especially the children throwing plants at each other, Reminds me of all the things there are to love about living in the city x

but fortunately for me, I come from a city by the sea :)

Thank you very much for reading Marionwze-I just want a good view- ;D

"My view is flats on both sides
3 stories high
A bit of sky
And a lot of kitchen windows"

is clever description. Knew immediately what you meant.

And I liked the slice of life about little children pulling plants up to throw at each other. Feel after reading this and Windows I'm getting a strong impression of your surroundings

You know Phase2 I am home most days so it takes up a lot of my time watching life go by in my closest surroundings.
