Third Millenium London

St Paul’s gazes out over the modernising City Fearful of the vicious Shard The Abbey and Houses of Parliament Keep Westminster alive But now under the gaze of a watchful Eye The hustle of the restless Oxford Street Is matched by the bustle of Soho The British Museum still reigns supreme in Bloomsbury Despite constant tourist invasion On the river the Cutty Sark is rehabilitated Tower Bridge still opens The Boat Race can be seen every year and Cambridge can win

Hey there, I'd just like to ask if it were approved to reference a couple verses from this great poem of yours in a senior reflective assessment that I have? I'm focusing on the theme of London and think your poem captures it so well. Thanks & great work! Charlotte :)

Alan,, Welcome to Poetry soup, I hope you enjoy the community. Here, you will find friendly poets who enjoy supporting one another. I myself, enjoy reading and commenting those who want to be read. The only time I give constructive criticism is when a poet desires it. However, if for some reason the poem is not my field I will guide you to someone who is more qualified than I. Stop by and read one of my poems if you like. My poems are not perfect, but I have a feeling you might like one. I encourage you to check out the contest page and read to receive comments. Tell me a little about your poetic skills if you like. It will be my pleasure to follow and read every poem you post from here on :) We are Lucky To Have you. Your New Poet Friend @-> LINDA <-@
