Twenty-four celsius and hopeful

Head in a mirrored hall

Reflections all around smiling...now

Affluent optimism and all

 

Twenty days into September

Approaching the unreal

Reminders abound, crying loud

Wealthy resolve's a meal

 

Twenty past the hour of two

Crushed into bloody dust

Recriminations sound, dying...how?

Fear slakes its awful lust

Beautiful concision, effective repetitions ("twenty") and powerful word choice. I like this.

You Look FatCalgary by RickthePoetWarrior

Using Calgary as a backdrop the author satirizes the self-serving nature of the public as it continues to fatten itself, not only physically, but egotistically as well.
