From Times Square

Dazzling lights Throngs of people Walking through crowded streets Reminds us of why we live here Costumed performers - Bright theatre marquees Seeing those sights brings happiness to native and tourist alike Autumn - a chill in the air Undaunted, the bustling crowds head for dinner and a show No place quite like it anywhere The masses of people are taking their full measure of urban joy Double decker buses move down the avenue as newcomers to the Big Apple get their firs bite of it Even those who have lived here their entire lives Still feel exhilarated as they pass Times Square Electricity lights up the metropolitan scene The city is working its magic Untold thousands on the avenue Eyes meet - a feeling of urban love works its way into the hearts of the masses gathered there The city

that was a cool line where you mentioned tourists getting their first bite of the big apple. I had that first bite and it was my only bite. back around 1999. I really loved Time Square and wish I had had time to enjoy a show and other stuff!!

I have only seen Times Square through my television screen, and I'm sure that it is nothing like the experience of actually being there. I hope to see it in person, someday. It sounds amazing in the way that you describe it! This is another terrific poem from you, Matthew!
