Poetry: New York City

"MY NEW YORK "

I've lived in New York
For many a year
I went to school - in Harlen
AND never had a fear...

I rode the subways
Never missing my stop
Hearing - blasting music
Known as " hip hop "...

I was alone - in Times Squaare
A sleezy place to be
BUT - I was okay
No one bothered me...

I loved Greenwich Village
And sat in - many a cafe
Hearing Jimmie Hendrix
Just blew me away...

I went to " Bethesda Fountain "
In Central Park
Sometimes I'd stay there
Till after dark...

I loved New York
The fast pace - galore
The lights - the action
The beauty it stood for!

    What New York City Means to Me

    We had a fight,
    we dileberated
    through the night
    over the idea
    that we were
    going nowhere fast.

    Misty rain haloed street lights
    Illuminating hunched up people walking fast
    A chill wind lifts debris, looks, then snaps them
    Curling
