Written for Reena’s Xploration Challenge.
Our challenge is to write a poem or story
as inspired by the image shown below.

sky lanes
glow through the mist
amber streets flow below
ships drift among the silent spires
hover
beneath
the city breathes in fire and steel
crowds surge through neon haze
canyons of glass
shine on

I love how your poem moves fluidly through the layers Nance – you build a rich world in very few words🙌
