Frank James Ryan Jr...fjr City Poems

Dolan's Nook cafe, on The City's west-side by the Hudson;
people come for joe, squak... the Wall Street Journal.
Meanwhile, outside,
on the riverside patio,
...

Below Senryu is constructed
with the employment of 5-7-5
Syllabic requirement of Haiku
...

The City,
The buildings,
scraping,
blue skies-
...

Been thinking a lot about space
that lies between our hemispheres,
of our gray, mercurial brainworks,
and could this be the link we've lost,
...

Free from the dreads of mortality,
exempt from a balance of power,
dogmatic in their own private Oz,
though illogical...except to themselves.
...

One New York Night At Radio City Music Hall...


Tap tap, tapping 'cross the stained parguet,
...

______ I ______
Tap, Tap, Tap...
Shoe-point on wood -
one lone Dancer
...
