Nyc Lights At Night Contest

New York City at night,
                Is like an upscale carnival filled with lights,
                 Message boards and fancy advertisements,
                  Keeps one’s eyes in perpetual excitement,
                 Call a taxi, you’ll go exceptionally fast,
              Like the gravitron that’s spin makes you gasp,
                            Walk a mile or two,
           And the volume of brightness will illuminate your view,
              On some blocks you feel like you’re in outer space,
         Bridges are the stars, that from a distance, stunt your pace,
                  The buildings begin to possess Saturn’s rings,
          Streets look like the universe drenched in colorful strings,
                              New York City at night,
                  A giant meteor shower of visual delight.
