"Lake Tear in the Clouds" was an indescribably pretty scene Lewis Pugh hiked in the rain; clouds lifted, he felt serene. He dove in, swam through hemlock, maple, ash and birch An adventure starting in nature's wooden church. Vanderwhacker Mountain, Bad Luck Pond and "Flowed Land" Through turbulent "Opalescent River", hand over hand He saw beavers, osprey, an eagle in the...

Premium Member Marx on the Hudson
They used to call it the Empire State. But the empire isn't doing too great. Democrats in power, big ideas they plan. Too bad for the middle class and the forgotten man. Low-income high rise in your village Middle class won't escape the general pillage. Congestion and crime, they'll surely bring, Practical doesn't matter, ideals are everything. Landlords, its coming, statewide rent control. They...

Hudson Yards
We met some friends from out of town Who had 3 hours to spare So Hudson Yards was the New York We thought we’d like to share. The subway ride and escalator (Very long and deep) Were, from their usual routines, A rather giant leap. We climbed the Vessel, took some pics And strolled the High Line to The Hudson, where some piped-in music Glorified the...

The High Hudson
High above the harbor's flow, amongst tall peaks and late snow, where the krumholtz trees will grow, to Lake Tear-In-The-Clouds I go. Up here in this rugged spot, a place explorers once sought, echoed sounds and quit thought... water spills through ancient rock. Through the wilds it will wend, by small towns it twists and bends, winter's flow and icy spend, until spring sun brings and...

Hudson Valley, New York Oh, Hudson Valley, place that I call home, you hug the river from which came your name. On fertile banks, the settlers came to roam and stayed to prosper and your land proclaim. Your winding Hudson River grew their dreams with farmlands, orchards and new industries, and lovely homes that languish in your scenes atop green rolling hills with...

From the Streets To the Hudson
A parade of folk fixed on wedge-shaped skyscrapers faces punctuated by grins wider than the horizon I see them across the avenue musing upon tower tops, piercing the cerulean dome, turning heads and spooning smiles this is a place where contrasts reflect off asphalt ribbons, where pigeons pivot while their wings shed silver-gray tumult where straphangers squeeze into metal cars at Eighty Sixth and...

The Love Poem of Hudson S Prufcock
I ponder poetry passively, as the clock ticks You can bolt your door when the reaper knocks But what if he’s a lock-smith? We’re a nearly always a nation in debt, Visa’s put credit card Goblins under your bed. Blessed and cursed, by unlimited spending Poor and regretful, is that a diligent ending? When I dream, I ponder pillow fights, Polyester...

Hudson
moon shines over and blows on the hudson a shimmering ribbon blue white on the chop a few boats near the shore magnificent houses in this old town from time before history as I sit knees to chin on the church steps mild early fall moments music in the air all around gnarled century trees sentinals of farmers, authors and headless men lovers by...

Miracle of the Hudson
On early Thursday morning, Terror filled the New York sky. And two engines were disabled, By a flock of birds passing by. Departing from La Guardia, Bound for Charlotte, N.C. US Airways flight 1549, Departed at 3:24 from NYC. And moments after departure, A calm subtle voice was heard. Stating to brace for impact, ...
