Notice of absence from arqios
🕊 🙏🏻🕊️
🕊 🙏🏻🕊️
At its very heart, Melbourne city breathes:
an undulating vibrant tapestry of life and colour,
from the bustling markets of Queen Vic to the quiet lanes of Fitzroy.
Trams rattle through the streets, a symphony of motion and sound,
while the aroma of fresh coffee mingles with the scent of eucalyptus.
In Federation Square, we gather, a mosaic of cultures and stories;
each face a part of the city's soul, each voice a note in its melody.
The Yarra River winds through it all, a silver thread in the urban quilt,
connecting past and present, of both nature and man-made wonder.

A fine write A.
Thanks O 🙏🏻🕊️
A beautiful write of wonderful images woven into a description of a place I have never been but now feel I have and stitched so nicely with the silver thread of river and words holding not only nature and man's accomplishments together but transcending space pulling me to a place far away. Loved it.
Thanks Soren. I wish I’d written more about the cities I’ve been too. 🙏🏻🕊️
Wonderful view of that city arqios.

Thankful for the marvellous reception today. I will now attempt to comment on your equally wonderful poems. 🙏🏻🕊
Hi Melbourne!
Its your old enemy, Sydney
Shut your cakehole
And listen to me
Your coffee's crap
And an Opera House
You lack
Anymore of this nonsense
And I'll give you a slap!
Nice one …. I’m a proper Sydneyite or was until we moved up north. 🙏🏻🕊
Would love to visit Melbourne and Australia as a whole. Thanks for the mental trip! 🌹👏 Well done, my friend! Cool to see you on Insta too! Yay!
Yay! 🙌
🤘😎
Demolition of large parts of what was a pristine Victorian city during and around the sixties was a tragedy. Should have been preserved in aspic. Still, seems there may be enough left to please.......
All in the name of progress (sic) 🤑💰💲
Nice piece of work👍🏼
Thanks John, your acknowledgment is much appreciated and means so much 🙏🏻🕊️
Wonderful descriptive Poem.
Love to go there or anywhere in OZ.
Let’s be hoping the economy and stability of international relations improves!
Tell me I wasn't naughty to feel I'd been there thanks to you and this exquisite translation of life where I'll probably never truly taste it, yet believe I have, because of this. Deliciously rendered with excellent imagery and a sweetly haunting poignancy. Thank you very much for sharing your expertise. I love it.
