It's a new York morning

Train is rumbling
Showing the bright
Colors
Of gifted artists
Who can't find a home

The smells of
A hundred cultures
Begin to waft
Through the air

I sit on the fire escape
Coffee in hand
Feeling the buzz
Of my city

Looking down
To the street
I watch
A million people
Start thief day

A living Benniton ad
And I try to place a story
On each and every one

Where else
But new York




Tammy

New York is a great place in so many ways.

Nice write Tammy...I like how you describe your experience from the vantage point that comes while sitting on a fire escape, and observing what is happening around/below you.

I like this piece. Have only been able to visit NY once and I found it wonderful!!

New York city is where my heart is!

Start spreading the news, Im leaving today
I want to be a part of it - new york, new york
These vagabond shoes, are longing to stray
Right through the very heart of it - new york, new york

I wanna wake up in a city, that doesnt sleep
And find Im king of the hill - top of the heap

These little town blues, are melting away
Ill make a brand new start of it - in old new york
If I can make it there, Ill make it anywhere
Its up to you - new york, new york

New york, new york
I want to wake up in a city, that never sleeps
And find Im a number one top of the list, king of the hill
A number one

These little town blues, are melting away
Im gonna make a brand new start of it - in old new york
And if I can make it there, Im gonna make it anywhere

It up to you - new york new york

New york
