Neon Lights - Cl

The city lights of neon flash To dull sounds of the traffic flow Upon the sidewalks footsteps crash As people bustle to and fro A city that never moves slow For time is money, in cold cash Getting caught in its neon glow They seem to be in a mad dash 1-27-2020 Oh-No A Twisted Char-Lay Poetry Contest Sponsor: Charles Messina

So thankful that I live in the Country. No rush of such moments. Your thoughts take me there, in the hustle and bustle of a busy city street. This is so beautifully written and presented. ~ Brandy

New York, I would love to visit as well as Washington, Disneyland and Hollywood. I can imagine the hustle and bustle is intense and never stops. Best wishes for the contest. A great poem Joseph, Blessings, Jennifer.

Wonder if your are describing New York City--I see the lights and hear the footsteps--especially if dashing to catch the train home. All the best, Joseph.

Thank you Vijay, I was thinking of NY when I wrote it, I was going to mention the train too but my muse said otherwise.
