    London realms

    london
    the streets
    are centuries
    of thrill
    night time
    swings
    sanctuaries
    a realm
    and bright lights
    string
    parties a
    scene
    cafes are proms
    to theatres
    and songs

    london
    the air
    is scentrifuge
    of fleurs
    atmosphere
    swirls
    a melody
    of
    pearls
    and visitors
    rung
    sequels
    of myrrh
    etiquettes
    are strung
    amulets
    of rare

    london
    the hype
    is boutiques
    of moeurs
    come and sweep its
    heure and
    feel it beat a
    stir
    its characters
    a flux
    from all over
    the world
    captivate the sun
    and elevate the fun
    daytime streams
    parodies
    of dreams

    it may never try
    but when it does it sigh
    it is just that
    good
    it fly

    I've never been to London, but in spite of the "hype", you made it sound like a nice place to visit.

    Not different than any big metropolis in that sense. If you are going to talk about London being special, you can mention the organizing of the French resistence, the making of the islanders at the Faulklands citizens of the UK, the defeat of the idiotic Spanish armada, Waterloo, etc., etc. and etc.

    well yes it is different in the sense that it has monarchy at its centre. Monarchy is the essential of England without it England is just another city.

    England...? A city?
    I'm not entirely sure if this is a very... structured... poem, but it does somehow seems to capture the essence of London. 'Parodies of dreams' is quite nice.

    It's been a monarchy all along. LOL Why is that going to produce the stupid aspects you cite, which are no different than those in NYC, or any big metropolis? Please don't be ridiculous in trying to force your issues, or we are going to send The Iron Lady after you. ROFLMAO.
