Jenny's Window

Jenny sat
Clutching her bags
To her chest
Oppressed
By the encroaching tangle
Of arms, of legs, of heads
As the train clanked
To London Bridge.

Silence bar:
The rustle of pages
The buzzing earphones
The mellow whispers.
Jenny gazed out
Away from the tangled mass.

Grey and brown
Monotony
Specks of rain littering
Jenny's window to a
World away
A world away from the tangled mass.

@zoodark this was my attempt at a poem in 'your style'. So far my poetry has been very introspective so I thought I'd try something new!

Wonderful picture of an escape from everyday dreariness. I like 😉

I like it 👍😜

Nice internal rhymes - careful not to confuse lack of lined end rhymes with absence of structure. That being said, I think you pull it off admirably! J x

@Zoodark thanks! Yes, I found it hard to set a rhythm when I'm not rhyming!

@Nom try tapping your foot when writing - remember your stressed and unstressed syllables :O)

Like the title by the way! J x

@Zoodark thank you! Your criticism is much appreciated!
