Observation in town
Milwaukee Avenue by Jewell Hermann
Free Form Poetry Contest contest entry

Cast iron beneath
Croissant taste and texture linger on my tongue 
 
Mail carrier walking porch to porch
Plane, many passengers carried above
 
Cannoli in hand
 
Between the sidewalks, grass greener than the trees, most which have not sprung forth leaves
 
Old couple cycle along, enjoying their day
Past houses; green, orange, and gray shingles, keep snow and rain away
 
Kombucha sipped, cane sugar contained
 
Courier strolling, parcel in hand
By gables of house old, scrollwork adorns  
 
Beneath loose raincoat ears cold
 
Tulips blooming pink, yellow, and red
 
As the world whirls around gleaming and crashing, 
clinging and clanging 
singing and swimming 
Make sure to place yourself within it.
 
 

Author Notes
Constructive criticism highly appreciated, Positive comments are nice, but that's not all I want to see.
