Seattle

A sponge to the rainy days,
a green jewel in the sun.
Lines of books,
flashing screens at just one swipe.
Fragile flowers' petals,
flying fish and fruits.
Pinks, greys, blues, silver.

 

Decaf coffee,
accompanied with a "Thank you",
"Have a great day".
The stream of caffeine,
and cold traffic jams.
The smell of paint and pigment,
on the canvas.
The smell of sea salt,
following the chatter of mischevious seagulls.

 

The sun's rays dimming to a calm glow.
As the night comes,
it is young,
the Ferris wheel is alight,
along with neon lights,
and a grid of building windows in the distance.
The sight is warm and lit.

The Emerald City.
A city of smiles.
"A welcoming city."
Coffee, salmon, apples, rain,
and a classy, tasteful world to me.

A poem for a beautiful city. It may rain, but it's still beautiful even with all that moisture, the greenery in  the day, thelight at night. Radiant. I hope I get to see it again!

I live in Seattle! Yeah, people say it rains a lot and I guess it does but I don't notice it really. FANTASTIC POEM by the way.
