Urban

i dream a dream of urban life,

bagel shops and Manhattan nights

dirty sidewalks and gritty streets

Chicago sunrise with coffee

a place where no one knows my name

to clear my mind i'll ride the train

anonymous, i'll live a lie

living for those city nights

I'll be watching as rain pours down

spilling on the Boston ground 

fog will rise in steamy swirls

from the pavement, black as coals

In the city, love is what i'll find

with the jagged high skyline,

in sweet Seattle, my heart will burn,

my mind so clear, without concerns

I'll become an angel in California

self sufficient, full of euphoria

i'll feel like urban royalty

city life so good, it's poetry

-l.r.

Your poem reveals any subject can be brought as beautiful poem, that is called real talent, if some one does not live in US even your poem will help them visualize these places. I may pick Seattle, great write

Many years ago there was a song called "Downtown"..I think it was Petula Clark.
This sort of reminds me of this...the urge to be urbanized....
You spelled it out quite clearly...your imaginings came alive.
Well done.

Excellent! It achieves both making sense, and yet still reading completely like poetry.


I think that that's a perfectly fun kind of poem Lexi.
