Sheffield streets,
sodium skies.
Satsuma skin,
sallow sight.

Photo credit – English: Hagnaby Road, Old Bolingbroke I don’t like the orange street lights and nearly turned all the night shots into greyscale images. Well, if you don’t like the colour, try that for yourself. Looking towards the village cross. (Photo credit: Wikipedia)

Thank you – Sheffield gives out a beautiful orange glow from its street lights – they are in the process of changing all the street lights to white LED so I doubt we will see it for much longer 😦

Oh that’s sad. This new world we are in. What can we do?
Worldly Winds said:
Merely record it in our writing and poems 🙂
silentlyheardonce said:
Yes. 🙂

So much “oomph” packed into those eight words. This just took my breath away. I can feel the atmosphere in my throat.

Thank you very much indeed – I’ve spent a while mulling this one over and playing with the words, so I’m glad it mad an impression 🙂

I really like the alliteration. Well done.

Thank you very much – there was much time spent in playing with combinations! 🙂
