Urban

Urban

A Poem by Lexi Richard

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.

You're welcome :)
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

You most welcome, take care

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.

Scott.......
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.
