I Walk On Concrete

Written for One single Impression


Prompt: Verdant


I Walk On Concrete


Ah, my eyes and feet
miss that verdant greenery;
I walk on concrete

A lush green lawn
at my lost home of childhood;
light-years away, that

***
 
she waters the plants;
I too talk about greenery
religiously


_______________


Verdant youth tries to
express itself through haiku;
happy times ahead

  3. nostalgic about the beautiful past, lush green gardens, children playing around.
    We have lost the beauty of childhood. The open lawns for kids have converted to playzones in closed malls.

  7. I really like this. I'm always impressed when a poet can right such powerful poems that are this short. Good work. It reminds me a bit of a poem I wrote in remembrance to a bit of a simpler time.

  12. Beautiful, and so nostalgic! There is some about greenery and open lands that concrete jungles can never replace...
    It's so nice being here, reading you, Rameshji...
