Urban Woes

Noise of machine polishing marble

Shattering of blissful silence

Axe cutting the trunk of an elderly tree

Cawing of urban crows appear metallic

Chirping metro sparrows like squeaking gizmos

                                                                                              Plastic,colourful flower bouquets,green leaves

                                                                                  Sans the fragrance ;the softness;yet decorating

                                                                                  Clanging of cooking utensils meal being cooked

                                                                                  It all seemed so artificial wherever he looked

The small toddler clad in colourful clothes

Gazing into his innocent eyes- forgot his woes

His cellphone began jingling in his pocket

"Hello ! this your friend ... calling"

Thumbed the cellphone and into the well began falling

Author's Notes/Comments: 

Words spattered all over... the magic is still there waiting to be discovered in the toddler's eyes.

Well Falling

I loved this poem. I take falling into phones and the innocent eyes of toddlers very serious, often practicing both. Good form, balanced, story in tact, ending perfection (words on the side distracting and there is a space after a ";"  but otherwise a most mellow write, elevated and instructive Bishu - yr poet pal ~Lady A~
