Kozani Storm

Kozani Storm – a poem written by Charli (TikTok coming soon!) The storm rolled in from the north Chasing leaves and soaking the dry earth Charcoal clouds flustered the city With its ice creams and tanned limbs A row of bright parakeets and their cocktails Fluttered inside. And then the […]
