Eiji Tunsinagi is an unknown quantity at this point
Saturday, I am

*sort of edited*


simple
in the city
my windowsill
bird calls, flowers
red-tipped wings and
yellow daffodils

two stories up
trumpeting romps
over Casio,
they call him

Butterfingers
on those keys -
calling me out
to tell me to
calm down

put your unsocked feet
on those cold tiles

partake
of what morning
has given and

turn that
radio up

trumpets trumpeting- I'd change 'trumpeting' to something like resonating. It doesn't work for me.
over Casio
Butterfingers

on those keys,
they call him- not sure about all this call him, call me stuff. Revise this stanza Eiji.
call me, out and
tell me
calm down

I imagine a cobbled street in Italy. Some good imagery but will benefit from a few tweaks. Enjoyable read. Will be better!

I don't really get the imagery in this, I see a list of events and no hard and fast subject. There appears to be yourself and another in this poem but the other is simply a reference and needs to be stronger I think. Sorry

This piece came to me in literally a minute or two. I don't trust work like that. Usually I mull constantly...so I can see how you would not think it works so well. Just experimenting (again). I might revise this; or I might not bother. I don't care for this piece.
