The Bronx 
where everything goes down 
we call it the jungle 
where in the day time the train is 
the loudest thing on the block

and at night is the ambulance 
goes off, every one knows each other 
we like one big family but 
live in different houses

I like your poem because it’s short and so powerful. Keep writing poems like this one!

This poem is authentically beautiful. What caught me was the picture of the train, it was what made me click on this post. As I read the poem I got even more impressed. I love all the elements you added to this, what your home sounds like, what its called and what the community is like. I am glad to hear it is a close knit community, similar to a family. Overall your poem is 10/10, keep writing and I am sure you could make it to 11/10.
