The green grass grows, the corn in rows,
cattle feed and graze the land.
Tractors sound early in the dawn
and shut down just before dusk.
I wake to nightmares at night,
lost in the concrete jungle.

This is written in a Korean poetic form called sijo.

everything in life is writable about if you have the outgoing guts to do it, and the imagination to improvise. the worst enemy to creativity is self-doubt. [sylvia plath]

I really enjoyed this poem! I think I'm going to try writing a sijo :)
