San Juan

San Juan The flowering trees The island breeze San Juan The raised cross walk We faint – we balk The narrow streets The salsa beats The swaying palm The driver’s calm The soft sand beach The natives speech The evening rains The food – plantains The fortress walls The wild bird calls The slower pace The warm embrace San Juan The humid air The sweat soaked hair The hotel noise The merchant’s ploys The taxi cost The getting lost San Juan

Thank you so much for reading my poems. San Juan was a delightful place to visit and I am sure I did not do it justice with my short phrases.

No Uncle Mike for this one - just short and sweet phrases on what it was like in San Juan.
