Visible Deterrent

sonnet

Visible deterrent.

 

Patrolling city streets by night.

On foot as policemen used to do

To check that everything’s alright

Gives you a very different view.

To the busy daytime streets, where

Throngs of people go to and fro.

 Along the shopping thoroughfare

Or anywhere they want to go.

Some people see you as a threat

And others as a guardian.

As you patrol about your beat.

 A uniformed policeman.

A sight you rarely see today.

I must admit to my dismay.

I know that like me you don't write to enter contest but you should enter your work if for no other reason than to get more readers. Your work is that good. This like most of the things I read of yours is wonderful and the images so very bright. My friend I really like this one.

Wow this is really great. I like imagery and how much story is put into such few words. Good feel and flow. I also like the font color you chose for this admirable write. Excellent work sir.
