A Day In Manhattan

Riding in a taxi cab through canyons of concrete, you will see thousands of inhabitants on each street. This one of the five boroughs has everything complete. What an island that is a city within a city. It stretches from Harlem in the north to the battery. If you are riding a bus, or a subway train underground, so much fascinating scenery can be found. There is Broadway, Central Park, Greenwich Village, and Times Square. The bridges and the tunnels will all lead you there. This is a jolly old place that nobody can deny. With this “Big Apple”, you can make one hell of a pie!

It's a pie filled with diversity, Robert, and you capture the hustle-bustle of city life so well in your poem. Maybe the next time I go to NJ, we can share a hot dog in Central Park. Gosh, I love your description of the Big Apple - canyons of concrete, subways, the maze of bridges and tunnels where I always get lost. Another great one for my favorites. Love, Carolyn
