Concrete Jungle

by Thomas   Jul 30, 2012


With my other mammals
I share this place
This place of wonder and mystery
with so much hidden secrets

Lanterns rising
from the ground
like majestic trees
for me to find shelter under

Swinging is what I do
From lantern to lantern
Using electric cables
as my swinging vines

Swinging from
one Wi-Fi-spot
to the next one
hoping for free access

But swinging
is never without danger
Evil creatures
are always lurking

Trying to catch you
and hold you in their grasp
Using summer promotions
like spider webs

But as it is
I wouldn't have it
any other way
living in this concrete jungle

    Interesting peice, you can take a lot from this depending on how you look for it. I know if this was read by children it would feel like amonkey going through the tree's in the jungle. Where as the deeper meaning is more of real life and what it is like for you and many others.

    Well done, I enjoyed reading this.

    When I read the title, " concrete jungle" the first thing that jumped to my mind was a city.
    Because of the word "Concrete" I pictured cement and buildings.. then the jungle.. people.

    I like it. It is true the city could be like a jungle.
    and I also liked that you used wifi and added different things. Well done.
