Trees start to blossom
Rising from the city streets
New York battles on
Thousands of eyes look upward
Joy in the metropolis...

Here
If spiderman's missing
New York city falls
If superman's sleeping
The world burns.
But I don't really care
As long as my fellow poet are here....

Life On the Corner
There once was this girl who was pretty
Who resided in New York City
Got mugged Friday night
Weak attempt at a fight
Life as a harlot is such a pity...

Cold, blistery

New York City Resident
I met the rudest librarian.
"I'd like a library card, "I said to him.
"You have to prove, "he said annoyed, "that you're a New York City resident."
I said, "No problem,"
then I stabbed him....

That Haunting Voice
From deep in the shadows of Tin Pan Alley,
the Sage called out my name
With a voice that haunted and eyes concealed
—she made her only claim

At Bay
If I strike up a fortune,
I want to own an apartment in
Manhattan, or New York City,
a big house in the country,
and a shack in Mississippi.
Women in each,
Women at every port,
Keep the heart at bay....

Poem On a Rainy Day
The day is grey
and my hair is changing
to that nice color
Making it through another day
I hope to stay healthy
The years roll on
As does the New York City subway
So do the Mets
The everlovin' Mets...

Cajun Lady
They rolled like a mountain,
out of New York city.
I heard Cajun Lady,
from The Fat'sby
Twas back in the day,
Nineteen- Seventy.
You know she was a lover,
His Mississippi Queen.
I heard Cajun Lady,
With the Fat'sby on Lead....

Effeminate To a Degree
Once knew a gentleman from New York City
Some thought him masculine, I thought him pretty
Effeminate to a degree
Wearing short shorts, oouueee!
It's maybe why his buddies try to smother him with kissies

Beautiful Day In New York City
Sun beats down
But the air is fairly cool in NYC
People put our city down
But it is actually the epicenter of the world
I could use more cash
I no longet smoke "hash"
But I am ready for joy
And hopefully I wil find it in New York City
my home!!!...

Fear of Flying
The bird that flew so fast
It could not see the path
And was carried off in flight
Leaving the wind far behind...
so far above the course
It traveled with such haste
That fear stopped the flapping
And it came crashing down...
Romeo Della Valle- New York City...

Small Town Girl
I had been a small town girl
thought ski tags off expensive jackets meant
jackets were shoplifted
when I left my small rural Iowa town
I saw skyscrapers, and women wearing
tennis shoes with business suits.
In New York City everyone does not say hi
It was a rude awakening....
