Late Autumn In the City

Cold wind in the    
morning
           frees the mind
as 
light 
pours 
down 
      from the heavens
Here on this blue planet
     we wait patiently 
         for the crystalline white
of winter 
      Leaves dance on the
ground
        In the distance - laughter
        streets are packed
        with thousands 
        of individual souls 
Rushing, rushing 
         Cars inch forward 
 Coffee carts
                  serve how liquid 
to workers - blue and white collar 
        Sparkling eyes in the city 
              Doors open
     the masses enter

So much activity in urban areas, Matt. Love the way you describe how city dwellers "wait patiently for the crystallin white of winter." When I lived in the city, the new fallen snow made everything look so clean and fresh. Enjoyed this one! Love, Carolyn

Your poem has great imagery and a fast pace that captures the hustle-bustle of city life so well. Even in NY, you'll see "leaves dance on the ground." They come from the trees in Central Park and some other trees that line city streets. Enjoyed your poem, Matthew. Best to you, Diane
