Interactive Poetry…. (HELP!)

I have been wanting to post a piece where your opinion counts!  I have a short poem that I

a) need help naming

and

b) need help deciding which sounds better.

So you can message me your reply or feel free to comment below!!  Title options and then chose #1 or #2!!

 

#1

Darkened shards gouge the open fields, no one cares. 

No one sees the Lavender sky.

No one has a friendly smile

No one looks you in the eye. 

 

Creaking and rubbing metal is everywhere.

I’m drowning in stranger’s voices

So lonely is the City Life

So lonely are the stranger noises.

 

City life inside a bubble, shadows cast

by buildings bodies.  Unseen tops 

are the new greenery while buses

and taxis-not people-make frequent stops.

#2

So lonely is the city life 

drowning in strangers

voices and strange noises.

Creaking and rubbing metal

everywhere. No one has a friendly 

smile. No one looks you in the

eye. No one points out the 

lavender sky and no one cares

that fields are gouged

by darkened shards.  

 

 

 

Seattle, WA Day 7 *Ringing in the New Year

January 1st, 2014

Phew, that is going to take some getting used to!   Today was spend playing tourist and rightly so!  Last full day in the city before flying home!

Columbia Center… check into it!

Alot of people, okay tourists, pay really good money to go to the top of the Space Needle, but a well known trick for the locals is to actually pay a visit to the tallest building in Seattle!  Less $$, Better views!

So we get there only to discover we were a day late.  Turns out they are closed on New Years Day  😦

The day recovered well enough though with some great views from Alki Beach Park!

City Skyline

This was shot out of a moving vehicle and I am not even certain where we were in or around Seattle, but it is one of my favorites!

This photo op was traveling back into the city from the Alki Beach area.  The clouds were ominous but just added to the photo op!

Flag with impending weather…

Heading into the night for dinner… just beautiful!

 

I’ll post a few photos of the plane ride home tomorrow when I can, but I leave (gulp) at 5:30am so there will probably not be a ton left of Seattle!

 

It’s been so much fun!  A place I definitely recommend and will travel to again!!
