Dr. Upma A. Sharma Poet Free verse

Bored In Manhattan

Bored in Manhattan 






No more, no more Manhattan ....

Statue of Liberty 
although fine view of New York harbour,
steep stairs and hot inside.

Times Square- bright lights, shopping and shows,
ball dropping on new year eve ....
much but for its rich history.

For skyscraper Empire State Building,
long queued up for tickets,
only to find those heights leave us hell frozen.

Live musical concert in charismatic Central Park,
scenic beauty and magnetic greens ...
but those boring friends, I lost my spark,

No more, no more Manhattan .....

Julia Ward January 6, 2016 at 3:13 PM "Magnetic greens", in particular, ensured you had a place in my contest. Well done for your Honorable Mention, Upma, and thank you so much for entering... The contest was stuck at four entries for days, and Manhattan wondered if it would ever be boring enough. My next contest will be even harder - oh!

Andrea Dietrich January 5, 2016 at 5:47 PM I like the way you approached this, Upma. Good luck in the contest.

Michael Whatley January 5, 2016 at 11:01 AM Oh the busy streets of NY, I know exactly where you're coming from, Upma! Very enjoyable and lighthearted piece, with rather prose-like language.
