Maybe I/'/m just a biased city girl myself, but this poem could make any citidiot homesick. And smile...I can smell the concrete jungle just reading this!

I/'/ll be here...Soaking up the atmosphere. Thanks!

My vision of this would be a grand old clip in the late twenties to early thirties Hollywood movie. I don/'/t think you were going that way but I/'/m a B&W movie fan and in my mind I had seen this play out many times. Very well executed and you put me right there.......
Bravo

Many great lines (her dress wept with rain) to visualize, but the impact of this write is the way it draws us into the wet city street. I got homesick for New York on a dismal rainy day.
The steam rising off the sidewalks (streets breathing heavy) the people holding newspapers over their heads dashing to the subways (the daily news umbrella). You have captured the essence of
an image and converted it into an emotion. Not easy to do! And well executed. No unneeded words..
You paint feelings with your words, and you do it very well! softerware

This whole poem is sublime! Everyone who reads it will see the painted words of the woman in the city rain. I want to steal some lines. :)
