Matthew Anish Poet Free verse

Absolutely

Great feeling of relief
now that I have a break 
     from work
  Miraculous - I am O.K. 
Finally, it seems that trouble 
has left 
       the room
City lights sparkle in the shadows
   Gazing upon them 
                  I taste thoughts about 
all the urban dwellers 
       in this vast metorpolis 
this New York, home to 
millions
  who move in clockwork 
fashion
    to the urban beat, the urban rythms

Gail Debole February 28, 2012 at 5:08 PM Don't live in New York City, but visited a couple of times. Very inspiring and creative way you have of expressing your thoughts about the city during your break...favorites... "trouble has left the room"..."taste thoughts"

Connie Marcum Wong February 15, 2012 at 1:28 PM No, not Honolulu, I was led by intuition to choose this poem to read, answering my question of what city lights in your latest post. Mesmerizing . . . the lights are. They energize in contrast to making one dreamy, simultaneously. Great poem!

Laura Breidenthal December 26, 2011 at 12:33 AM This is also a great poem! I want to visit New York City someday. It sounds awesome the way you presented it. Always, Laura
