Mannahatta Comments

A beautiful poem to read and reread. We are constantly learning from the past in the present. A memorable and contemporary poem about the city of New York, a worthy choice as the classic poem of the day. Thanks for sharing

but to be more precise are to describe. New York was already so busy in Walt Whitman's time.

Mannahatta, very beautiful and sweet sounding poem, but a bit like loose sand on the seabed, know that they are there, but too deep to walk on, his poems are often so 'floating' not to offend,

so crowded out there. all I see are people.

Do we really need lines 10 and 20 numbered? Do we really need this poem as poem of the day? There are countless better ones that PH could have chosen, many of them by Whitman himself!

The city of such women! The city of such young men~ I swear I cannot live happy without!
