Evelyn Judy Buehler Poet Rhyme

Notes About The Poem

Distant City Lights

Distant city nights,
Those faraway lights,
On the eastern border;
Colored lights quarter.

There should be hubbub,
And people club to club;
Dancing nights of August,
Music mellow and robust!

To that far, dreamy place,
With life's quicker pace,
Excitement is now calling,
And my heart is falling!

Those far neon lights burn,
As some observe and yearn;
Glowing colors of the night,
Under the silvery moonlight.

Robert Kinard January 16, 2020 at 7:28 PM This poem has the song Street Life by the Crusaders playing in my head. Your picture is on point for the poem. Nicely done. Evelyn Judy Buehler January 16, 2020 at 7:34 PM Robert, I'm familiar with the song, and now it's playing in my head. Gee, thanks! And thank you for the swell comment. :)

Lady Labyrinth January 15, 2020 at 8:39 PM Stunning write Evelyn, as per usual. I hear Coltrane and jazz in those city lights. xx Evelyn Judy Buehler January 15, 2020 at 11:00 PM My profound thanks, Leanne. So pleased that you can hear the strains of jazz. xx
