It Never Fails

I.

Smog covers L.A.

like some kid went crazy

with Rust-O-lium spray.

II.

Tallest tower seen,

glass panel glitters

in rays of red, gold and green.

III.

Ocean claims Rat Beach

with every crashing wave

on its icy white sands.

IV.

Rain patters green house,

cascades over the edge,

distorts the view outside.

V.

Weeds grow on trailer,

between fiber-glass panels.

Nature... never... fails.

Background on Poem

In 2000, this became the second poem I had published. It was in a local weekly newspaper called The Beach Reporter. To date, the stopped publishing poems, unfortunately. At least, I was able to pick up a few copies.
