Poetry- Introduction to a Story: Setting the Story in Time and Place

...the buildings across the street were tall and bold. Filled with energy and vibe, dreams and aspirations, the foundation stands still, rooted in ground. A midst the hustle and bustle, one thing remains; people; ever changing, ever growing, restless, confident, yet, insecure looking for one thing to keep them grounded, to help them remain. 


something I wrote in response to Hemingway's, "Hills Like White Elephants"

vibe-a feeling or flavour of the kind specified

grammar point: symbolic representation of objects as feelings
