The Daily Tot 4/29/22

Hi!! Adventure Girl does tots for a week and I get super lazy. L.O.L. Anyway I'm starting a new series called Effulgence at Exchange Place, which will contain poems and descriptions of the most wondrous places on earth. This will be followed by The Wind Around West Windsor, when I think I have done justice to the marvel we call Jersey City. I hope you enjoy the first poem in the series....

The Picturesque Peninsula

Light glistens on the river

The Hudson owns the city

Grass is emerald always

The wind sings in pity

Sympathy from the sunrays

To those who don't live in this city

The rocks hide behind trees

That ruffle in the breeze

There we climb and laugh

How I wish I'd taken a photograph

A broken barrier rests among sand

Meant once to seperate river and land

Torn by a storm that waged war on us

It bit in with it's teeth and made a fuss

A city beyond can be seen

A skyline so full of wonder

There never has been

Yet it makes you ponder

What is better there?

Here in our city we have what we need

Not clearer rivers nor crisper air

Here is where we will succeed
