The Contrasts Poem by RIC BASTASA

cemented pavements
green grass

sounds of motorized cabs
songs of birds on the trees

towering skyscrapers
tall old mahogany trees

neon lights on city escapes
stars on moonlit skies

watching the mountains half covered with
morning mists
busy on TV for the serial stories

strolling on the white sandy beach
observing the behavior of seagulls

window shopping at the malls
watching 3D movies

eating deep fried chicken wings
licking very sweet strawberry ice cream

peeling the ripe mango
savoring the yellow juice feeling the pulp

watching the sunset from a high mountain
reading a best seller novel inside your room.
