Slice of Urban Life

Crowds in Times Square Tourists blend with locals and hit the theatre district hard Keep moving along with the throng or be trampled by their multitude of feet A painted nude woman approaches Such painted nudists are controversial She asks for money we walking and pay her no never mind The marquees glow in early evening The area is closed to autos A different type of traffic in this beating heart of the city exists blasts of fantasy on stages And crowds thrill Adults, children, seniors, teenagers are all going somewhere The metropolitan evening show is about to begin

I journey through the woods- What wonders do I see Nature has the goods from tiny seed to mighty oak tree. New York may be interesting but Nature pales it out. Great poetic painting of the city.A7

Your creative thoughts encompass the soul of a poet and bring to life the experience for others to savor and enjoy. You have painted a picture with words that tantalize, and catapult the reader into a fantasy as we experience your passion for time square. Emile.
