Grand Central Station 1929
An Ekphrastic Pantoum Inspired By An Image
Introduction
This is a picture that can never be taken again, because of the buildings erected in New York that now block the sunshine.
I have not published a pantoum for a while, so that is what this will be.
The music is "Grand Central" by John Coltrane feat. Cannonball Adderley.

This is one sad but true poem. It is sad that progress takes away certain properties. Just imagine if this could happen again one day. Good job.
I love the fact you used so few unique words and yet created such an intense and airy atmosphere. It definitely matched up to the picture. Well done mate, this one is brilliant, definitely evoked a lot of sunshine and nostalgia and those moments of waiting for trains that we have endured universally <3 Beautiful x
