Magpie Tales Photo Prompt 80: Street Scene, There And Everywhere

Red Umbrella, Christopher Shay
Shared by Tess Kincaid


necessities


no trishaw driver,
a dampened alley 
silent, so 

he walked: 

a bag of noodles, street 
vendor fresh -  

his head sheltered 
ang pow red - 

and barber poles 
to light the fetid 
street: 

what more 
to wish for? 

Poem ©2011 R. Burnett Baker
