Lower East Side Evening

The sound of an ambulance in the distance Some poor soul is in trouble A warm day has led to a moderate August evening I feel the tomorrow sill be a good day A friend invited me to listen to a poetry CD tonight I shall join him shortly Poetry can cut like a knife into the soul If you are willing to let it The city has is own has its own type of poetry Pictures of our urban life Let us see the human face behind the crowds and the tumult This city is exciting and dangerous Here on the Lower East Side we await fall This area has been the home of the famous and the obscure Spanish people play dominoes while Talmud scholars pour over holy works in the House of sages Bicyclists ride by as runners race by the East River Losaida - The Lower East Side Visit us here soon! Take a walking tour So you can see the history of this essential New York neighborhood

One day you should publish a book with just the poems describing the streets and people of NYC. maybe you could sell it with a title like BIG APPLE! The tourists could really enjoy your outlooks!
