Smile For London poem

A little creative writing for once. It's done in a bit of a hurry, and it's possibly very bad, but I'm pleased with it under the circumstances.

The "brief" was to write a short poem for the Smile For London campaign, which puts up adverts in tube stations  to cheer up commuters - starting on the so-called saddest day of the year.

I'm waiting to hear if my poem is selected, and if so, what visuals they'll put with it. Anyway, here goes.

Find a London Victoria train
That passes over Coldharbour Lane.
Just at the apex of the track
Look left, and you'll be looking back
To own the parks, the homes, the streets
Where stories start and moments meet,
To declare your victory foursquare -
A second's term as London Mayor.
