shivering

It was a cold morning, a few days ago. There was a bright crescent moon visible above the street lights. When waiting the traffic lights turn green I wrote a short note in my mind:

me
& the crescent moon
shivering in a street corner

I did not like it and I buried it with some others. Today it's not so cold, - 7 C (or abt + 20 F) but a little bit colder inside (+20 C or abt +69 F). It's quite enough, anyway. Fluffing my papers and notes and notebooks. Saw that one also and found that L1 is one fault in it. And the corner? No way; a new one:

crescent moon
shivering
in red traffic lights

Devika:

The Global Warming
spending it's holiday --
but not in this planet?

Bill: I think that should be one purpose with blog-writings?

Gillena:
I agree, and your version is a nice progress! Thanks!

Ashi:

a Teacher
on a high sky --
the crescent moon

Magyar:

Green lights --
rushing towards
global, warm future

,-) or ,-(


John:
I have an old from my notebooks, something like this:

a colourblind
woman waiting
all the cars disappearing

And thanks all visiting here.

I think a blog posting doesn't have any use-by-date ?
