Tate Street 1956 (Concrete) by wunboi Its just a simple street
Cicadas drum their hindsticks
The air, a furnace of eucylpytus perfumed heat
Afternoon , summer ,Nineteen Fifty Six
In the yard big men sit
Beer,my dad, his mates
Between their legs enormous plates
A harvest of fresh........oysters
Remembers, only nine years
Since their defining time
With life so morning real
War days end in tears
A mate was there this morning
A friend with evening gone
In a month his wife is mourning
Since that day his loss they'v born

SELF INDULGE ON THAT WUN-BOLL-NO-COCK
this is rather sweet; I like the mood and the flow. I don't get why you call it a concrete poem, though -- don't see what you're getting at, there.
sounds like a lovely summer memory, yet sad as it reveals what is happening to these people in their time
I think the last stanza lets it down a bit - the syntax in the last line is slightly hackneyed - but the opening is very atmospheric and the feeling is real. I'd cut the ellipsis though.
Yes that last stanza shows signs of laziness . Ill have to rework it . The elipsis? I guess you mean the line of stops. Point taken but Ill leave it anyway
Oh yeah, that's concrete. looks like a jagged edged something.
