Not a city person
Oh no not me
Too much noise
Too many lights
Buildings are hideous
With their metal,
concrete,
and glass
Metalcrete city
Nasty
Smelly
Loud
And just obnoxious
Too many lights
Too much noise
Oh no not me
Not a city person

Not a city person
Oh no not me
Too much noise
Too many lights
Buildings are hideous
With their metal,
concrete,
and glass
Metalcrete city
Nasty
Smelly
Loud
And just obnoxious
Too many lights
Too much noise
Oh no not me
Not a city person
I like how the short lines of this poem gave me a feeling of the denseness of the city – feeling closed in… I also loved how the first and last stanzas mirrored one another.
