Poetry
Nowhere
By kitten_princess
17 September 2006
Haven't written in a while... feels a bit odd!

One foot,
then another
skipping stones
over the
rough playground
of high street tarmac

with dancing signs
that yell in a
market man's accent,
two for a pound,
five for two five for two

and fake couture girls
interlaced with
brass knuckle boys,
winding their way
through the
common joes

with scuffed
Nike footwear,
i sail this sea
of blood red sale signs
and mediocrity

Nowhere.

Liked this. It could have equally been titled, 'Anywhere.' 
 
I would guess anyone that lives in Britains towns and cities could identify with this. 
 
Really liked the last verse.

good good good :)  
 
more objective than your usual stuff i feel, a little elss emotive, which in this case [as you may ahve guessed] i think is good! 
 
think you could maybe extend it though, you've got some cool rhythmic stuff which you could play on alot more "five for two five for two" etc. 
 
have fun :p  
 
ciao bella x
