Member poem of the day
hot summer sun piercing
shining so brightly down
all things revealing
to the watching eye
young boys are walking
in the city big
like tourists gawking
at all the sights there is
from the small towns coming
out in the country side
visiting the city
and all the things they'll find
approaching in the distance
a vision not believed

what they seem to see
