Campus cold: Edit 2

[Achebe]

The buzzing of electric light
illuminates the cold campus sidewalks. ..:: I'd drop the 'the', but if you want to keep it, change the 'the buzzing' of the previous line to 'a buzzing eclectic light'
The autumn wind shimmers the trees, ... Too many 'the's. 'An Autumn'. 'Trees' is generic. I'd say 'poplars' or 'beeches' or 'baobab' - something specific 
evicting the leaves from their once-called homes...... 'Its' instead of 'the'. Once called homes sounds as interesting as a cough medication. Don't use 'homes' unless there is a finer point that you are trying to make about the homeless, for instance, or children moving out. Else it comes across as flowery.

The pattering of untied shoes
with laces bouncing upon leather tongues ... Nice lines
reminds me of the better days
when laughter was the currency of youth.  .... The metaphor of currency is lost on me. It doesn't link back to anything else in the poem.

-BW BRINE

Overall, nice start.
