the big apple
Friday in the big apple It is 17.53 in New York those who work at night are stirring drink coffee, shower and dress to look their best This as the multitude drive home for the week end The police are busy, a rich person was shot by what appears to be by a charming man with a winning smile,...

Premium Member My Visit To the Big Apple
Life is like the ocean, Vulnerability is your sail, Hope is the wind that propels you, To the land that's known so well. Trees are made of stone and glass, Stretching high up in the air, Concrete paths replace the grass, Their people have no fear. They walk with all their might, To a place they do not know, Peddling their wired wheels, To a destination...

Big Apple
Yellow cabs and pavements they call sidewalks, Grand Central Station and the Metro too, Central Park as big as a small city, The Empire State’s great panoramic view. A walk through Greenwich Village or through Chelsea, The Hudson flowing deep beneath our feet, Madison Square Garden for the boxing, Musical named 42nd Street. Take a ferry over to the statue, That’s situated on Liberty...

El Dorado
El Dorado by Michael R. Burch It's a fine town, a fine town, though its alleys recede into shadow; it's a very fine town for those who are searching for an El Dorado. Because the lighting is poor and the streets are bare and the welfare line is long, there must be something of value somewhere to keep us hanging on to our El Dorado. Though...

I Love a Young Dancer Named Wilma
There is a young woman I met near Times Square; She's five-foot-eleven with lovely brown hair. We were both buying tickets at the kiosk that's there For a show at the Palace that starred Richard Gere. So she told me she dances, but that landing a gig There on Broadway's not easy; Competition is big. And she moves through the crowds...

Premium Member Night Time In the Big Apple
Pedestrians rule the city Cross-lights are ignored Rushing to the neon lights Above the night-life doors The middle finger is a common response To a car horn’s incessant blare Flashing lights from billboard signs Reflecting on pink hair New York City on any night No matter the day of the week Not a place for the mild-mannered tourist Or a playground for the meek City lights replace...
