Hi Debbie. A good positive poem. I lived on Long Island for years. New Yorkers are strong. Their leadership leaves a lot to be desired, but they'll get through as they always manage. New Yorkers have a lot of grit. Marilyn

Thank you, Marilyn. I agree with you about their grit. I fell in love with New York City when my son moved to Long Island City. I dread him having to get back on the subway, but he is safe for now.

This is a nice rhyming ode to New York City. New York City is a city of dreams for people from everywhere. I remember when I was there and living, I looked over and saw the city, it beautiful. I sure it will revive as it so in so many instances.
You must have the love of New York City in your heart.
Good luck in the contest.

Thank you for this wonderful review and that extra star of encouragement. I was writing from the heart. I'm not a New Yorker, but I have such love for that city. It does everything on such a large scale. It dreams for all of us.

Hello my friend
Beautiful ode to New York in these hard times. I think it's getting better there and even though is not over, the end is in sight.
Well done my friend, good luck in the contest.

I hope you are right, Gypsy. My son lives in New York City, and I hate the thought of him getting on a subway again. I do love the place with all my heart.

Stars for you and New York. Remember that the people
helped each other by caring for the sick. Others did their
jobs so people could stay home. Alicia Keys created a song
and others shot the photos for her gratitude of people.
New York and our USA and the nations will be more caring
not corporate. God bless and stay safe. Keep dreaming big!

Thank you, Nancy. Your response and love of New York City makes me feel good. My son lives there and, even before this virus pandemic, I have come to appreciate the strength of the people. They have a strong sense of place and love for each other. For all of us, it does dream big.

This Ode to New York City sounds and looks good as you evaluate the great city's ability to weather even this outbreak of viral infection.

This is a sad and melancholy write about this city of dreams that has been hit hard by the pandemic, as you say its spirit will not die, such losses are tragic, love Dolly x

Thank you for noticing my verbs, LisaMay. Someone on FanStory once told me to "use good verbs." I took that advice to heart.

It has proved to be useful advice.

Ode to New York City is an unusual and unique poem. The city is known worldwide. She has had her troubles, but is a survivor. It is the nature of the people she houses. New York City will rise again!
