glistening asphalt
sidewalk splashed by passing cars
high heels syncopate the rain
freezing prostitute
waiting for the heat of johns
with a ticket far away

I really like this. It created an setting and character and in my mind.
Great poem!
Thank you… sedoka should have two diffirent perspectives in the two stanzas and that what I aimed for.
I can see that you’re more familiar with Sedoka then I. Nice one.
Signs of the times. It never changed! Great take Bjorn!

You tell a vivid story with your two verses.
Superb, gritty writing. Realism given direct to the reader. Powerful, real, vibrant/resonating piece. One of your best Bjorn, quite intimidating actually – shouldn’t have read it before trying mine!
Important thing in a sedoka is to write the two stanzas about the same thing with contrasting views….
really very interesting. I like this very much. yours was wonderful.
A perfect setting. Very well written.
perfect!
