On seaside cliffs
Central Park to Trafalgar square
Soft coos in the air
Flying rats they call them
Found even here
One time my dad bought me a yellow rose in New York City
Took a photo in front of St. Patrick's-- felt loved & pretty. :)
she missed the fancy parties
that New York had to offer.
But she learned early the importance
of wearing basic black.
Lancaster, New York
Mid-west town of the East where neighbors are friends and friends are family!

Under two silences
our laughter stays suspended
like a golden drop
even if your voice has changed
I always recognise you
Federico Garcia Lorca
was a would-be New Yorker:
his favourite ski event was the slalom,
and he wrote poems about Harlem.
Legend of New York
Always unattainable
Always seductive
Where sirens will always sing
Where bright lights memories bring
Forward-facing eyes,
Arrests the dark and long distance,
Predator of snow.

New York Snow Owls
Mega city
of the Jungle
while walking
left in my left hand
keeping wife's warmth
Times Square in New Year
i am passing.
radio blaring
new york city cab driver
many near misses
horrified riders
being jerked and terrified
in backseat praying
A GI looking for nookie
Met a Geisha girl called Suki
Would you believe
She could conceive
Faster than a New York bookie?

the New York Times
should show an affinity for rhymes
the leading paper
regarding them quite properly as an essential caper.
hot, crowded platform
repulsive subway station
rush of rank damp air
screeching heralds arrival
beast covered in urban art
Where Satan sat in Manhattan
The people gathered to fatten
But too much sin
Can do one in
So now they call it, "Manflatten"
A giraffe went out to buy a car.
He didn't like nothin' that he saw'r.
Maybe, he'd be more comfortable
driving a convertible.

Trees start to blossom
Rising from the city streets
New York battles on
Thousands of eyes look upward
Joy in the metropolis
Money, wrapping paper
of disowned creation
Destroying the gift,
—laying claim to the box
(Jamestown New York: May, 2011)
IMAGERY EXPRESSION
mundane crisp and misty morning
New York coffee, cream cheese bagels
art gallery—comforting warm abandonment
Witches and Warlocks
Is New York City Salem Mass?
Halloween Night
Do I really want to see Mamdani fail
Well, I wanted Biden to succeed
And so far HE’s avoided jail…
Ogden Nash
New York poet Ogden Nash
with rhyme made quite a splash
His topics aesthetically absurd
so popular though when heard
thinking ocean life silly
dolphin edna mae tilly
ashore amid cheers
a squeak for new years
then boards a bus for philly.
