This is in response to Sadje’s Weekly Photo Prompts on #Whatdoyousee

You know my city it doesn’t snow

Neither the roads ever shine white

On twinkling days… in glowing nights

The trees don’t wear that cloak of light

A hazy brown sky pierces through the fog

But the silver orb never shows the red eye

Yet it’s pale, starved face does delight

Children and youth and aged alike

In seasons bright,  in moments alone

The city wakes up in colours galore

And dwells on tales of pain and mirth

Of love and life and deaths and births

The moon listens often on the quiet

And the stars are stilled in their stride

And y’ know those nitwits still abound

Who can pen a poesy of evocative lines

On walls and bricks and trees and mounds

And dedicate them to moon’s snow shine

    A beautiful poem dear friend. We don’t have those sights here either- no super or red moon. Thanks for joining in.
