The City's Love Poem by Claude McKay

Ah, but the city is a fickle wench- -it probably won't remember you in the morning

Fantastic expression. Touching and interesting. Beautiful poem.

Very nice. I was waiting for the next line then i realized its just that short

Very nice. The city still has a nice feeling for you and does not take you as an alien. 'She bent to me, my hostile heart to win, Caught me in passion to her pillowy breast; '.. is very nice.Enjoyed.

Excellent expression.

For one brief golden moment rare like wine, The gracious city swept across the line; Oblivious of the color of my skin, Forgetting that I was an alien guest... this is sad, people, sad that a person's skin color would be an issue, would skew one's perspective. i'm glad the poet had that golden moment. sad that others would be withheld or, worse, be frightening or brutal. and mad we're still having to deal with this prejudice in my own country but not limited, not nearly, to my own country. -gk
