When I read the poem “Times Squared” by Pallavi T., I felt like it really showed New York City life. I love how it put a great detailed image of Times Square in my head. I especially like this line: “above congested roads choked with yellow cabs coughing fumes.” It brings out the whole vibe of traffic and taxi cabs. The ­poem also depicts people with shopping bags and expensive purses when it says “clogged arteries spotted with the boast of imitation Gucci bags.”

I liked “Times Squared” because it ­reminded me of my visits to New York. I was very inspired by this well-written poem.
