The chaos of the night in a big city, glaring lights and the throb of traffic. Like in the over-populated scenes of “Blade Runner” a world where humanity sits in a world gone critical in the aftermath of industrialization. Passion in desperation for life is always passionate unless depressed. Confusion.
thrumming softly
heart-beat of the city
this sleepless night
traffic like restless leaves swoosh
past my open window

Carpe Diem’s Like A Pebble #1, a new feature
If I understood the post correctly, we are to write the impressions we receive from the photo prompt and from these impressions write a new haiku or tanka. An interesting new approach introduced by Chèvrefeuille in this new feature … Like a Pebble.
This was interesting…but different!
