poem 1 comment challenge: Photo3-Lights
CecyRavenclawFi...

City Lights

I'd like to see the city lights,
The shining purple, blinding green,
That slowly fade into the night;
A vibrant, never-ending scene.

I'd like to see the city lights;
I'd like to go away awhile-
Go to the airport, take new flights,
I'd like to see the city lights.

    That first stanza is great. The rhyme is subtle enough so that it isn't distracting, but it works in the poem. In addition, I love that you said "the shining purple...." When I think of city lights, I almost always think of orange and green, but the color purple is such an unexpected surprise. It adds a unique level to this poem.
    In the future, if you are ever considering revising your piece, I might suggest cutting one of the "city lights" lines. Possibly the second one. Who knows! There's endless possibilities.
