Lipstick City Shimmering skyscrapers edge long shaded avenues Crossing streets that stretch for miles Eclectic shops are brimming with people All friendly with welcoming smiles Rivers surround and roam round Manhattan Hugging these coveted shores Pockets of sunshine weave through the traffic Honking their Yellow Cab horns Buildings like Empire, Chrysler and Lipstick Have views that change day by day Staten Island, the Bronx, the Hamptons and Brooklyn Exist in their own special way Cafes are filled with enticing aromas Restaurants beckon and tempt Wide open spaces ooze music and Shakespeare As buskers work to pay rent Hundreds of accents, millions of people Mingle, connect and survive As the big juicy apple continues it’s journey And New Yorkers move on with their lives Debbie Lindsay Newman, Author/Photographer The Lipstick City Guide to New York 28th May 2013
