Full Moon Over Manhattan
produce aisle—
she reaches across
for an apple /vs
outdoor cafe—
fiddlehead ferns in season /kk
storm clouds—
the dog disappears
into a bush /vs
one-legged mockingbird—
bantering of the wind /kk
late dusk—
the street lights come on,
all but one.... /vs
the gate leads to darkness—
headstones with no names /kk
hopscotch lines—
a homeless man smiles
to himself /kk
svelte runway models—
exchanging glances /vs
clay pots
in different sizes

screen saver—
always a full moon
over Manhattan /kk
puppet theatre...

This goes like an exellant guided tour. I like the parts very much and have to think about the whole.
Best wishes

I like this one a lot: Life as a puppet theate, with breaks between the acts filled with our screen saver ideals!?:)

I so enjoyed this collaboration. A delightful potpourri of images. Hope we see more!
The images beautifully evoke Manhattan, even for someone like me, who is in Manhattan 3-4 days a week. I especially like the streetlights coming on (all but one) at dusk and the smile of the homeless man.
Thank you all! We both had a lot of fun writing this. There is also a theme and links between each verse (as well as a link back from the last verse to the first).
This is lovely. I felt like I was led by the hand through different places. My favourites - the streetlight, headstones and hopscotch.
Great blog, I love your articles and reports, good luck.
