Berlin

Friendly Berliner -
On the U-Bahn ~ gives the nod:
Our stop for the Zoo.

London

Big statements abound -
Muscular architecture -
Echoes of Empire.

Paris

…and return again -
Enjoy grazing through the streets -
Foie Gras white wine brunch.

Riga

Markets in hangers -
That once housed big zeppelins ~
Many worlds since then.

Vienna

Viennese manners -
Pianist plays ‘Danny Boy’ -
For us, at least thrice.

Corfu

In Sisi’s garden -
Unsure about Achilles -
Mystery of Greece.

Tallinn

A pleasant aspect -
Neo-Hanseatic hub -
Remember Narva…

Lisbon

Little limestone blocks -
Carefully shaped, white paving -
Grander than an arch.

Copenhagen

Christiania -
Bikes of sensible design -
The Children up front.

Stockholm

The most shocking news:
A pond with some dumped plastic -
Evening headlines.

Venice

The mad tourist crowd -
Buzzing on the Rialto -
My wife is asleep.

*Dublin*

Morning sun on trees -
Yellow, brown leaves ~ tiny flies -
Take their time, also.

Winter Dublin Sun -
Brass Monkey weather, again ~
Mischief in the air…

Spring-feel of the place -
Low bright Sun, red bricks ~ Her light -
Cold-warmth of the place.

By the Grand Canal -
Birdsong, less sweet humansong ~
Very salty chips.

Little crucible:
An offering to the gods ~
Mountains, city, coast.
