Late afternoon
On the terrace
The sun is warming my back
He’s facing me, eyes shut
A jackhammer in the distance
Drrrr drrrr drrrr drrrr drrrr
A drill in the neighbour’s house
Then a hammer
Bang bang bang
Rainbow lorikeets are holding a meeting
Noisy buggers
Our canary is tweeting inside
Sweet bird
Still with us
Although very old
I look up
A jet plane in the blue sky
High above
A white speck
Gliding by quietly
Oh!
A siren’s blaring in the distance
Coming closer
Then it stops
Someone’s hurt
No doubt
Peaceful afternoon
On the terrace

Hello Irina,this beautiful pictorial poem.Have a wonderful week.
Thank you, Jalal. I’m so glad you like it. Have a nice day and then a nice weekend.
Love this. Now I know how it’s done.
Thank you, Pam. I’m not sure if that’s how it’s done. I’m waiting for Doug’s verdict.
