All The SingPoWriMo Poems I Wrote In 2018

May 9, 2018

I wrote some poems for SingPoWriMo in 2018 so this is an archive of them.

  • The first time I saw Times Square, it was mesmerising. I knew they were ads on those billboards, but at that moment those ads weren’t selling me anything. Those ads were just lights dotting the bluest sky. I went back to Times Square a couple of times after that first weekend. I watched plays on Broadway (so I had to get off at the station nearby). I walked around the area just to soak up the atmosphere. I brought my friend to Times Square after picking him up from the bus terminal at 6:50 in the morning. After heading there so many times, Times Square lost its lustre for me. It’s funny how something so bright could just turn into an everyday occurance. Those ads morphed back into ads. The streets lost their shine. I was no longer mesmerised. Right now, when I think back, I remember watching buskers dance for change while we waited to surprise a girl who turned 21 on those red steps. I remember how my feet hurt after I spent the entire afternoon just walking back and forth Broadway and Fifth Avenue, always making sure to pass by Times Square just so I could see the lights again. I remember the cold on Thanksgiving that made me duck into way too many shops and hotels just for a brief reprieve (and a lot of mostly window shopping). Just for a silver of a moment, I remember the magic. It’s so easy to let something bright lose its shine in everyday life and routine. Way too easy. It’s difficult not to let something turn dull after doing it only a few times, so how can you beat the dimming of the lights after you’ve done something a couple million times? But the cure is this: Remember the moments when you shined. Or rather, when you feel like something other than the inside of your head has captured you. Make something out of that feeling. Look at something old like it’s new again. You’ll dazzle. It won’t just happen gradually. You’ll be mesmerising because you know what it’s like to be mesmerised. // #georgiagoesnyc #whatilearnt #writing #inspirational #fujifilmx70 #dohashtagsevenworkanymore #prosepoetry #newyorkcity
  • @jonnee97 and I took some photos and walked around Central Park, which looked pretty gloomy on a November day. It seems like it's best to go there when the leaves are actually still on the trees, but this is what we get for now. // #georgiagoesnyc
  • I love how there's a location tag that says "Angel of the Waters". // #georgiagoesnyc #centralpark
