Her stiletto heels penetrate a chewing gum left on the sidewalk.
A passing car’s reflected in the wet asphalt outside the gay bar.
The January snow muffles the sound of battering from neighbor’s flat.
Head-lights of battling cars in evening rush-hour look like your pearl-necklace
I love the american sentences, and typed up a few new one.

ugh, the snow muffling the battering from the neighbors house…all too real, eh?
Unfortunately yes.
I love them. do they always have to be urban?
I do not think so… but compared to haiku it means to widen my eyes to a more urban situation…
You are a master of American Sentences Bjorn. These are all wonderfully written. Thank you for sharing.
your last line captures the picture… a lot of movement in just a few lines
Good ones, Bjorn–I particularly like the image of the stiletto heel “penetrating” the gum and the contrast of the soft snow with the harsh battering. Well done.
Really fine writing. I especially liked the last one… headlights pictured as pearls.

Question for you Bjorn–I also have my blogs on WordPress–how do you get the accent mark in (like in your name?) I would like to spell things properly….
I have a Swedish keyboard — I just write it.
I like them all, you have a real talent for them.
wonderful american sentences…and to think they are made in Sweden.
Amazing how you do this! Sorry did not see before. Really you have a way. Even without the prose part!
Your praise is highly appreciated… maybe I should have been a beat poet… Listened to Ginsberg reading Howl on youtube… mezmerizing…
love all them with the first sentence a real eye catcher. 🙂
