Good Morning London

[Keith]

Love this rich London city-scape Keith. I think you may want that to be ‘Quiet’ and ‘into’ in stanza 2. Thanks for the post, cheers/Chris

Thanks for taking the time Chris and the typo's. best Keith

Oh, yes, Keith. Observational poetry and very accomplished. small nits only.

The scrub of nylon brushes Maybe. "Scrubbing nylon brushes.." to avoid this " the scrub (XXXXXX) scratch the back of dirty streets"
scratch the back of dirty streets,Period. This is really the end of the sentence as you move on in the next line unconnectedly
outside the shops of sagged oak beams with sagged. "of" exemplifies,"with" categorises. Pedantic 'ould prat
untold news is gagged with string.I am envious. A great little line. You may have started a cliche but it ain't one yet. Excellent
Rubbish crushed by talking trucks
reverse the day away of waste, I want it to say "Reverse away a day of waste". Did you? Your poem, small point
underground she groans awake
with gyroscopic legs. She cannot groan WITH her legs but she CAN groan whilst ON them.

Quite queues crave Chai Latte, Typo
commune with phones on robot thumbs.
Wired earplugs have become the source
of force-fields snug inside their heads.
The shelter tells its guests to go,
slow limbs file in to place
and trace the steps they've come to know. solid but meter takes a hammering in this stanza. How important is that? Not very. As I am pedantically fond of pointing out...while the words do all the work, meter can take a rest. The job will still get done

Styles hang without conclusion,
collars fold against the old,
track suits tuck inside cross trainers,
while winkles pick Italian boots.
The sirens handle takes its turn, siren's...but the next line does not help me understand THIS line.
slowly revving into grind,
city life begins to breathe,
clicking feet steps up the beat.

Neat petite. I like it a good deal. My points are extra curricula as it doesn't need to stay back after school...only voluntarily.
