Jungles


Copperheads & Silverbacks
The jungle of the streets
Bearing vacancy

Spewing

Copperheads & Silverbacks
The grating of civility
Lacking union

Spittle trail

Copperheads & Silverbacks
The bounty of the day
Trolling desperate

Dismissing periphery

  2. this is excellent...your opening stanza is tight and does not let go the reality of our civilization right now, particularly in the urban canters...

  3. Very nice play on the concrete jungles and how money rules the roost. Always has, always will, while others troll for just a few coins.

  4. Thanks, glad you all enjoyed this short one. I was going to go with a different title, but the whole urban concept was on my mind here and Pat, the Concrete Jungle definitely came to mind during and after composing. Thanks again
