Brooklyn

Beautiful culture

Parks, brownstones, cheesecake, and BAM

Home away from home.

Children museums

Legends of Dodgers,

And Masonic lodges.

Blocks and bodegas,

24 hour beer and food;

A Non sleeping borough.

Pharmaceuticals!

Hand to hand acid to Zoloft,

Street doctors and feans.

Girls with attitude

That can box like men precise,

So sexy and real.

The largest borough.

Cultural hot pot

Mobs, gangs, cops, D.A.'s

Inflated prices

A million dollar home blows.

Overrated!

Crooked investors

Mortgage fraud and feds.

Since 911 bleed

NYC vacates.

Brooklyn's the new Manhattan,

Home of Rabbi and Muslims.

Catholics and Zen

New age, Wiccans, and Rasta.20

Reggae and whole foods.

Vegetarian--

Pizza, and West Indian

Chinese, Indian.

Sushi and Rotis

Liquor stores and lottery,

Fun and energy.

Hip hop and Biggie (R.I.P.)

Boot camp, Jay Z, and Foxy

Buddha Monk. Ol dirty (R.I.P.)

Some get so dirty

Some get all types of grimy,

Bullets are marshal law.

Blacks, Jews, and Spanish

Crow Hill and Cemeteries

Do or die Bed stuy.

B vill or B killed

East New York, Flatbush, Red hook

Fort Greene, Clinton Hill.

New wave bar, lounges

Williamsburg and Park Slope rule;

Everything’s Marked up.

Native cops don't beat

So sometimes good kids get killed.

What’s that a wallet?

Projects and housing,

To many people in one plot block

More drugs more murder.

Eminent domain

Bad plan for Nets Stadium

Flow of traffic, parking sucks.

Ratner and Marty

Plans to convert Fort Greene soon.

Condominiums?

50 cent loose Newports,

One dollar 24 ounce Coors,

Dutch masters and weed

Summer prescription

Cold, spring, fall prescription

Good old Brooklyn fun.

Good old Brooklyn

Kings County, County of Kings.

Home of my people!

Brooklynites

This is not a Haiku, extended or otherwise.
Your decision to post so many in one day was not a wise decision, and indicates you probably didn't bother to read the 3 per day posting limit or the other guidelines.

You'll find more will read you if you limit your posts, AND if you take time to read other poet's posts. With that said, welcome to Pips.

Yo Alphapendragon,

I like NYC, my youngest son lives there in Wasington Hights. New York's a good town.

I rather enjoyed what you had to say.
