The street where I live

 

Soft clicks up along the road,

Smelling the blooming flowers,

And listening to the birds song.

 

A place where I can be myself,

For just as me this place is split,

One dark side, and one bright.

 

Look to the right at the living,

The beautiful flowers reaching up,

The sun shining on the windows.

 

Left we have the dead threes,

Its years since they grew green,

Now they hide a graveyard of sight.

 

The street where I live is perfect,

For inbetween black and white,

Is a stripe of gray where I stand.

 

Author notes

Just a tittle I really wanted to use, dragging in the perspective of my street. The gray is in between the living and the dead, and often I like to place myself there, keeping to myself.

Please tell me what you think

    Is the background Wuthering Heights? I really like the perspective the speaker takes as the observer. A scribe of life! Great images too! pen on poet!

    Perfect sense of balance for there must be harmony even in the battle between good and evil there must be harmony for if one far outweighs the othere there will be no hope for a future fit to be lived.

    I like it, I like it so!

    This is wonderful Meroza. The imagery is very well done and you did a great job. I like how you've used the color grey as a way to describe the in between life. This just may be my favorite one yet! The BG is perfect for the words.
    Love you, Mom
