Joining up with Carole today at Ten on Tuesday
Why I like visiting (or in my case, LIVING in the heart of a city)
I live in the southern most boundary of an old, Midwest City. We own a brick, two family flat that we have converted into one big family house. I love the city in so many ways, but here are just a few reasons.
If you do,
Cities will sing back
to you.
They'll sing in subway roars and rumbles,
People laughs, machine loud grumbles.
Sing a song of cities.
If you do,
Cities will sing back
To you.
