Budapest in Three Sentences

 

Restructured bridges
Arch over mighty Danube
It doesn't resist.

West mingles with East
Most women have no bra on
Men eyes go goggle.

Posters flood the walls
The natives aren't amazed
The buildings don't mind.

 

 

St. Louis in Three Sentences

 

Wide avenues rumble
Empty cross streets bow slightly
I walk upon them.

Big river borders
Ghosts haunt downtown with ease
The Arch shines above.

Jazz trumpet plays tunes
From North to East and around
Makes it worth living.

 

 

San Francisco in Three Sentences

 

Mexicans sunbathe
Whites and blacks care for nothing
Asians prevail.

Hills create waves
The climates do not argue
They maintain the pace.

The beats are long gone
Attitude replaced the groove
Memory remains.

 

 

Brooklyn in Three Sentences

 

Latino heaven
Polish butcher stores avail
Russians run the joints.

Brownstones have a price
Yuppie tenants on the rise
Leaves cover the ground

Boardwalk leads the way
All who enter the city
Find a wrought village.

 

 

Amsterdam in Three Sentences

 

Beside the spring waiting boats
upon dirty flowing of the froze canals
ice skaing young blacks forgetting their past

I'm riding in bycicle smog between the canals
towards the Atomic age

Rough words blare out of liqueur soaked throats
like cracking ice of the canals

 

 

Haiku

 

Ants on sunflowers
Crawl to gather gray striped
Seeds for the winter

 

 

Trees of fallen leaves
Diligently fight against
Our human tempest

 

 

Beautiful embrace
Whispers angel-lip music
Wild tear drops smile

---

On rusty branches
As I watch them from your room
Woodpeckers knocking

---

Poisonous beauty
Drags the season of dreams that
Hasn't arrived yet

 

 

Rain

 

Evening breeze vibrates
Rusty autumn eyelashes
Shy tear drops gather

 

 

El Nino

The hiding tempest
Reveals her spitting power
Waters a flower

 

 

Blue Chaos

 

It is not, not us
The blue moon bravely shining
Tangled up chaos
