Essence Of NYC
Prompt from Denise Lindquist's Creation
Ears can hear Traffic everywhere
Sounds of vehicles honking everywhere
Surrounded by the bustling people
Everywhere there are sounds of a Big Apple
No one seems to care
Cars and tour buses at every corner street
Enter the concrete jungle
Our nonstop motion everywhere
Foreigners full of diversity
New to the life of the City be amazed
Your food taste and smell divine
City where no one sleeps, lights everywhere
This was inspired by Denise Lindquist's, story prompt

Bruce Lee and The God of War: Kuan Ti
It starts with love.. The Power to the God Of War and Wealth Walk into a Chinese restaurant (even in Oklahoma, USA), a Chinese police station, a kung fu martial arts studio or even a Chinese temple and you often see a red faced warrior holding a heavy quan-do (spear like weapon).

Vivid portrayal of NYC. Well done./
"I know," she whispered back, her voice thick with emotion. "It’s like... with you, I’ve found a part of myself I didn’t even know was missing."
Well done Love the visuals and sounds you evoked with this one
