My favorite place in London, is to sit at South Bank, just watch the people passing by.


Poem Artwork

Just watching people

passing me by

out in the Sun

it is such a nice day.

Hearing so many languages

from far and wide

London is so diverse

makes me kind of smile.

Culture is a blessing

not like a Big Mac and fries

which only serves your hunger

where culture comes alive.

Albeit Appalachian music

Asiatic dance

or Japanese Sushi

its all along the South Bank pass.

People are friendly

most look and smile

none of this political

or religious divide.

A clown amuses children

he has done it

oh so

many times,

a guitarist

starts to sing a song

based on

the people passing by.

Me I sit and watch

half way through a cake

a Latte sits waiting

at this pace who knows

I may be here till evening.
