HAIKU : URBAN


        skyscrapers
crisscross highways
  urban jungle lives.
   urban jungle lives
     no greenery
  concrete emotions.

 concrete emotions
    man eats man
urban jungle thrives.

 This is the first time I am trying my hand at  cascading Haiku.

    Aargh... that would be a disgusting place to live, no?

    The picture and the haiku go well together but, really - reality is a bit disturbing.

    And, hey, this doesn't seem to be your first attempt at a cascading haiku. :D Yay for you, Kalpana.
