City Life

- Congratulations on your win in the contest, Valsa :) - hugs

The hustle-bustle of a city, the cacophony....piercing to the ears.....

outstanding poem...loved each line for its descriptive nature...especially liked 'scraps of men scattered around.' That's some powerful poetry. hugs, Sara

really enjoyed images and message, thanks poet Valsa wishes

Very well said Valsa, best wishes

Indeed, all strangers in a crowd. Poignant, profound observation. As a young man in New York, I often hid myself in action...when what I needed was quiet meditation, to reconnect with source in a conscious, spiritual way. Great writing!

Yes," lonely souls in a bustling crowd". I have only lived in a city type setting a few short times in my life so I can't really say but I know from those experiences I like the quiet country life. Thanks for sharing this one with us. If for a contest, it reads like a good contender to me. Way to go. Sara K

Dear Valsa, I love how you caught both the glitter and the ache of the city, the energy that never fades and the loneliness that hides beneath it. Such a sharp contrast in so few lines and it lingers after reading. Beautifully done. Autumn Blessings, Dear Valsa, Daniel

Well done, Valsa! You can feel more lonely in a crowd!

- I think there are many lonely people in a city ... a busy place ... in a city that never sleeps :) - Great description, Valsa :) - Best wishes in the contest :) - hugs
