Description
I was talking to someone this morning about walking around neighborhoods in the city, and how people always seem to find that special place. I said, "There's always a pocket of peace in the city". That sparked these words:
Pocket Of Peace
Rushing
Running
Coming and
Going
City life
Driving
Working
Back and
Forth
City life
Constant
Noise
Stress
Motion
City life
And then
Around the
Corner
Something new
City life
A tree
A bench
Quiet
Solitude
City life
A moment
To sit
Think
Breathe
Smile
A pocket of peace
In the big city

Very nicely done. Very relaxing too. And now you've got me thinking...where is that pocket of peace in Leavenworth, Kansas? I can think of a few...now, if I can just remember to go out and photograph them :)

There's a place right in downtown Seattle where you walk down into a courtyard ... just off the sidewalk ... and suddenly you're in another world. Trees, a fountain, benches ... it's like a gift ... one of those pockets of peace.

Rollin', rollin', rollin' Rawhide! Rollin', rollin', rollin' Though the streams are swollen Keep them dogies rollin' Rawhide! Rain and wind and weather Hell-bent for leather Wishin' my gal was by my side. All the things I'm missin', Good peace, rest, and kissin', Are waiting at the end of my ride Stellar use of the bench inset for the image, Maz! You tersely caught your going about your hell-bent for leather ways in your wonderful prose.

great that Harry quoted Rawhide! The man knows lyrics like no one else! Well cattle are like a big city...Your poem really should be read aloud, you have the rhythm of single & 2 word lines, the repetition of "city life" in all the hustle-bustle stanzas (which disappear in the last two, where you wind down to a restful place). Don't mean to get technical, but you have good music here, good rhythms, and they fit what you're saying perfectly. (Hey, that's poetry.) And I like how you turn it all around in the two longer last lines. A fine honed gift. And your image is really intriguing, a bench in the shade flanked by a large sprawl. Fine piece verbally & visually. Hope you're feeling that way...a very inviting piece!
