Urban ~ Haiku Heights #268

animal noises
echo in concrete mountains
humans prowl the night

-0-

bright lights jewel posts
urban electric starlight shines
in a neon sky

Perfect imagery, Susie. :)

The first one gave me an eerie feeling. Kind of. :D

Especially like the first. Like how you turn the idea of the natural world on its head.

Loved both your takes Susie, man is the scariest wild animal of all. We city-folk seek solace in neon sky and air scented with vehicular exhaust...
I like both...#1 is awesome with the humans prowling.
Peace,
Siggi

I like the rawness of the first and the second is beautiful! Upside/downside of city life. Love it ♥

Susie,
Wonderful haiku! The first one seems like we're in some kind of zoo or jungle full of humans. Though a little scary, I like it. And the second seems nicer, more pleasant... :)
