"New York...New York", is an extremely well-written and deftly descriptive piece, This talented poet's work was a pleasure to both read and review. You KEEP WRITING and I'll KEEP READING. I look forward to seeing your next post.

Hey Dolly... thanks so much
Comment from sandy montgomery
Never been to New York and not eager to visit the city. It runs at too fast a pace for me. I think it was heroic if naive to chase the mugger. You are probably lucky you did not catch him. Thank you for sharing your work.

Hey Sandy... Thanks
Comment from Lady Jane
Just like Vegas, the city never sleeps and the sights, sounds, and energy is truly a little overwhelming at times. You've captured this profoundly in this beautifully and masterfully presented piece of poetry. I can only handle so much of the big city. Your poem sincerely explains why. Nicely done. No nits or errors to note. Your voice, perspective, and skill shone through the sights and wonders of a "City that Never Sleeps." good luck with this rhyming feat,
Janelle

I enjoyed reading this poem. There is no place like New York. I lived on Long Island for many years, but was in the city a lot. You've described the constant barrage of noise and activity well. The city never sleeps. Marilyn

Hi, Diana. I am from New York originally and can appreciate the noise...not to mention the echoes of the horns blowing here and there nd the police and ambulances screaming. LOL You nailed Manhattan very well, my friend. Great imagery, Diana. :) Bob

Comment from victor 66
I do appreciate New York, but not the way you do. I enjoyed visiting this city but I would find it hard to live there. I'm used to living deep in the woods where I may not see another human for days. Many must love New York, because there are so many people who live and work there. I enjoyed the excitement of your poem and I am not critical of NYC. Best wishes.

That's what makes the world interesting, everybody prefers their own cup of tea. You are so welcome, Diana.
Comment from Jesse James Doty
I love your descriptions of the streets of New York. The sounds, from the honking of taxis to the ratting and tatting of the jackhammer, all give a great audio experience that I will not soon forget. The ending line is clever, even though it uses an often heard phrase, it works well in this poem. The flow is good yet could be better. I find the second line of the fourth stanza, "yelling loudly ready to spar" a little uneven. The use of the term "ready" doesn't flow as well as the rest of the piece. But, I love the artwork, and the personal story, in your Author's notes, is interesting and a lesson learned. Thank you for sharing your experience of being in New York City.
Take care, Jesse

Comment from kahpot
To experience such a city and its wonders must be mind blowing, although I"m not sure about the bag-snatching though an experience of sorts, this is an excellent rhyming poem, very well done and best wishes for your contest****kahpot
