Rain taps a gentle rhythm on the dim-lit street; Puddles mirror city lights in silver sighs; Thunder rolls afar, while lightning splits the heat; A lone car splashes past - then hush, and rain replies.

Sky-bound silver bird, engine’s rising song; Runway dwindles small as lift becomes a glide; Airbus greets the blue where cotton clouds belong; Carrying earthbound dreams on winds of worldwide pride.

Rain beads tap-dance on the city’s skin; Skyward rumbles spark with split-second light; Wipers carve paths where reflections swim; While passing cars hum lullabies to night.

On leafy perches birds look up, their songs in startled hush; A helicopter cleaves the sky, its rotors carving plush; Below, bright coupes and rust-striped vans stitch roads through emerald lace ; Layers of motion, earth and air, entwined in fleeting grace.

High above the whispering city lane, Close-song birds weave bright notes in refrain; Distant echoes shimmer, drifting on high, While cars below hum choruses that sigh.

Two crows on black-barked heights convene, Their raspy caws drift down like teasing jokes; Pedestrians flinch at each sharp refrain, As traffic hums below in rolling spokes.

In dawn’s hush, sparrows rinse the street with song, Their hymn of roof-ridge light the whole day long. High in the maple’s shade, a squirrel wears his crown, Watching the feathered choir, amused, looking down.

Engines hum beneath an open noon sky, Chrome flashes stitch the sun-drenched air, Yet through the traffic bright notes still fly, Birdsong drifts past wheels without a care.

Five quacking ducks in a clamor parade; Snap up loose crumbs the visitors laid; Engines roar past with a tire-hummed beat; Nature and traffic collide in the street.

Bird-songs lace the dawn’s soft hush; Green leaves tremble with each bright trill; Beyond the trees, tires sigh and rush; Distant wheels, while morning holds us still.
