Five puzzle pieces
Each one having many details
But they all have one similarity
Which is uniqueness
Stars of music
Comedy prodigies
A compact melting pot
This is what makes New York City

Dear Hai-Cheng:
I am absorbed by your poem, “New York City,” because of the way you described nyc as to you. I agree with you when you said that New York City is unique and filled with music and entertainment.
One line that stands out for me is, “Five puzzle pieces”. I think this line is powerful because it is in a metaphor of how the 5 boroughs create up New York City Manhattan,Queens.Brooklyn, Staten Isalnd and the Bronx.
Another line that stands out for me is, “A compact melting pot”. I think this line is compelling because nyc does have a lot of different cultures, different people here. We are all one though in this big diverse city.
Thanks for your poem. I look forward to seeing what you make next! Oh and I loved how you included metaphors in your poem.
