For In Vienna We Were Poetry

I’D VIE FOR VIENNA I’ve visited Vienna because the universe urged me to go and on the subject of Vienna I have all I need to know I know the city sings and writes poetry for all to read And were I to dance with Vienna I’d let it lead From a small café I idolized what my eyes espied And the beauty of Vienna will never be defied Vienna is the sound of violins and the aroma of violets grown And owns a beauty such as I’ve never known I strolled the streets of Vienna in awe of its grace Vienna’s streets seem to be formed by lavender and lace It’s akin to a purple and violet sky to behold And it’s shimmer is more alluring than gold Vienna sweetens the sour and acrid taste of phools It takes them and teaches love’s true rules Vienna has the power to make a rose bloom in the snow And nothing compares to Vienna is all I know So if you ever go to Vienna please appreciate it like me Because I’ll never have the qualities that you will see In Vienna I heard poetry with its lilting simplicity And had I never visited Vienna would have been a true and utter pity I thank invisible beauty for her kindness And her consisten encouragement! © 2011...Phreepoetree ~free cee!~

most excellent! I do not think this place is on my to do list for I have heard it is a very anti semitic place..hard to even think of beauty being in a place so full of ugly minds sets [if you speak of vienna austria?]...Light & Love
