Travel Poetry: New (York) City Feel

Past Denver resident, the buildings are tall but limited.

Recent Los Angeles resident, the buildings are big and crowded.

Current Las Vegas resident, the buildings are bold and bright.

Visiting New York, the buildings are Monstrous

Gorgeous

Ancient

Towering

They make me feel

Miniscule

Invisible

Tiny

A scream would produce silence

This city swallows voices

Brings people to their knees

Sparks a curiosity to explore every crevasse.

 

New York,

Thank you for having me,

You were stunning to say the least.

 

Sincerely,

Another Altered Traveler
