The City of my birth

THEMES
The Urban EnvironmentTYPE
PoemI spy with my London eye
Big Ben telling the time
as these thoughts like the River Thames
flow through my mind
Thoughts of love for my city
Like tube trains move quickly
Although unlike them
there’s no delay, swiftly
like red buses that move through the streets
Like the blood pumping through my veins
as my heart beats
I feel a rush of blood for the city of my birth
I might be biased, it’s one of the greatest on earth
I stand still on Westminster bridge watching the movement
of different people moving around I am grooving
to music pumping in my headphones, I crack a smile
London is my playground and I am its child.
