Joseph May Poet Lay

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

Brandy Nicole January 29, 2020 at 11:25 PM 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 Joseph May January 30, 2020 at 6:54 AM Thank you Brandy, country life is peaceful..

Best wishes for the contest. A great poem Joseph, Blessings, Jennifer. Joseph May January 30, 2020 at 6:52 AM Yes its a rat race, thanks Jennifer

Vijay Pandit January 27, 2020 at 1:53 PM 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. Joseph May January 27, 2020 at 3:17 PM 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.
