You have a very distinctive, quirky and riddle-like way of writing, and you don't see that very much today, its excellent, if you keep up writing like this you'll be in good shape. This poem had a creative theme that I haven't heard put this way until just now.

Wow..took me by surprise and having been to New Orleans many a time..I could see him on his corner.. Why do all your poems seem like songs to me? You should try your hand at song writing. Classic Neil Young here..and I don't listen much to classic rock but this seemed to fit his growly voice.I'll be your manager LOL

Only problem is, I can't sing for anything lol But the lyrics are there. If only I could learn to carry a tune xD Yeah, I loved New Orleans. Not a place like it in the States, if you ask me, and I've moved a lot and been to a lot of cities haha

I would not italicize "my" in the last line, takes away from the awesome rhythm you have going on. Thanks for sharing.

One of my favorite pieces of yours, though I say it so often. This is really, truly beautiful in its own lovely way. Great job.

I really wish I could sing, I'd try and make this into a song. And the only instrument I can play is the violin, which I haven't touched in years. Thanks for reading it. I figured you might like it, since we both seem to share a passion for music.

Its funny how music can feed our souls, whether we are happy or depressed it somehow soothes our hearts. The streets of NYC have the occasional music players and I can't help but always watch. Great ending, nicely done.

There's a lot of soul in the city, beneath the coursing veins of pedestrian filled sidewalks and packed traffic. And that soul occasionally finds a way out, through the city's artists in their paints and charcoal, or spray painted as a mural against brick walls. It sings its way out through the voices of struggling musicians, who play songs amidst a sea of blank faces. That's just my thoughts, though.
My original passion has always been in writing stories. Most of them were fantasy stories, because I always wanted to escape. That's what it was. An escape from the troubles of life. Joining this site.. more..
