Go to a Broadway show; take a look At the people who fill up the seating, A mixture of tourists from thither and yon, All together, with few of them meeting. The old and the young, the fat and the thin, The foreigners from varied places, The blonds and the bald, the braids and the curls, The smiles or the frowns on...

TS Eliot said, “Paris is a strong stimulant.” It is - but it has nothing on Manhattan. If Paris is a Café Crème espresso at a café-en-terrasse under the stars.

In New Haven, Lisa misses the sad, dark, city aesthetics of her hometown. Its crime podcast vibe, actinic crime-lighting and sirens in the distance, that lull her to sleep like lullabies. She has a disturbingly romantic attraction to hustle, bright neon lights, skyscrapers, subways, crowded diversity and swirling dance clubs. Yep, we were in NYC for...

I find myself humming Broadway melodies, suddenly bursting into "I'm as Corny as Kansas in August," and "Wind Sweeping Across the Plains," while the miles disappear behind me, and slight hints of dusk appear on the distant horizon as I hurtle toward "Some Enchanted Evening," beneath the clean white sheets of a sterile room in an expensive Holiday Inn Suite a long, long...

He’d a fetish feline without doubt so did Tom, his sick mania flout make phantasmagorical a new categorical and then Andrew did let the cat out.

I do not see the poem yet I tried to post last night. Is it too soon? The why's not clear, I feel emerging fright, and I'm here blushing in the wings! Will curtain find its part, an audience know love verse sings, mood synthesized by heart? Is there some test I need to pass, a path I must...

Reminiscing of days past Old feelings resurfaced To see the sun shine again. As my thoughts replayed, I stood silently as I Reflected back on a Once in a lifetime experience. It was a beautiful September day. The day we met and locked souls It was like an epic display of Emotional fireworks Mixed with the opening curtain Of a Broadway show. As I awaited his arrival I was...

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...
