Hötorget
by Ronald A Pavellas
The concert hall's columns,
Patterned after those of ancient temples,
Serenely ignore the colorful confusion of
The outdoor market, below 02/16/2003 Author's Note: The title word is, roughly, "haymarket" in Swedish. It is now a bustling outdoor market surrounded by central city cinemas, restaurants, banks, a performing arts theater and upscale department stores and boutiques.

| Posted by Glenn Currier on 02/21/03 at 03:09 PM I like urban poems and the fact that your's depicts a scene from another continent makes it all the more enjoyable. What I like about cities is the contrasts. I know this is a huge generalization, but Europe seems to be more comfortable than the U.S. honoring traditions and history on the one hand and staying alive and dynamic on the other. Your brief poem packs a lot of image and thought. Good work, Ron. Hope things in Sweden are good for you. |
