Do you prefer being downtown in the morning or at night?

We just prefer being in the morning, because in the morning, the sun light give us chance to do anything useful for our live. But at night, there’s only stars that not give us many light to doing a useful work.

In the morning the citySpreads its wingsMaking a songIn stone that sings.

In the evening the cityGoes to bedHanging lightsAbout its head.

CITY

Metaphor in the Story

• City like birds that sing at morning

Sedangkan, kota di malam hariOrang mulai beranjak tidurKemudian menyalakan lampuYang ada diatas kepalanya
