*********
Late one night I wander home
Through darkened streets that few have known
I trip and stumble and I land prone
Face to face with my asphalt clone.
*********

Comments are always welcomed!

Thanks for the comment!

Just like many others, I have no idea what "Asphalt Clone" means...so I just decided to take it literally and give it a shot.

Thank you!

This topic is a strange one. I tried looking up synonyms for "asphalt" and "clone" but it didn't help much.
Asphalt - tar, pitch, paving, blacktop, tarmac
Clone - reproduction, copy, twin, duplicate, look-alike

The only idea I got from this was maybe "tar baby" (like the one created by Br'er Fox in The Song of the South to fool Br'er Rabbit) but I couldn't figure out what to do with this idea and gave it up.

Me, too, Birdie. Would like to know who came up with this theme. A real test for creativity.

This one is 'sand'sational. Very cool shot!

This one wins, for sure, Ed. Not only is the photo magical but to come up with a poem that illuminates the mystery of the topic makes it the only logical choice.

I think the topics are generated by a computer which has no awareness of what the topics actually mean (or don't mean).

Bravo!

All the best,

Endre

This is great. Like a cinematic expression of Mark Twain's A Mysterious Stranger short.
