Time Square

Dazzling lights

Throngs of people

Walking through crowded streets

Reminds us of why we do live here

Costumed performers

Bright theatre marquees

Seeing those lights

brings happiness to native and to tourist alike

Autumn - a chill in the air

Undaunted, the bustling crowds

head for dinner and a show

No place like it anywhere

The masses of people

are taking their full measure

of urban joy

buses move down the avenue

as newcomers to the Big Apple get their first bite of it

Even those who have lived here

their entire lives

Still feel exhilarated as they pass Times Square

Electricity lights up the metropolitan scene

The city is working its magic

Untold thousands on the avenue

Eyes meet - a feeling of urban love

works its way into the hearts

of the masses gathered there

The city
