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.

I like your peppy, upbeat portrait of a nighttime cityscape, Evelyn in your classical, rhyme-rhythm style! :) gw

This poem has the song Street Life by the Crusaders playing in my head. Your picture is on point for the poem. Nicely done.

Stunning write Evelyn, as per usual. I hear Coltrane and jazz in those city lights. xx
