Captures the life of a city
Posted on Wed, 20 Dec 2023
A poem I can come back to and enjoy all the more. I liked how it unfolds the cities inner life, away from the tourists, and how it ends in the warm apple pies; I can't praise it enough.

I loved this; the way you evoke the lanscape through your descriptive language - I could feel how invigorating it was!

A novel approach.

I liked the way you've interpreted via the alphabetic letters. I must catch up on the previous ones.
