Cape May

While walking down a lovely street A tourist looking for place to eat I spotted a variety of pretty flowers Of which I stared at for hours Looking through the crape myrtles I spotted a very large mock turtle Beside the impatiens I could see A butterfly land on the side of a tree Looking up into the deep blue sky A colony of seagulls were flying by One landing on a Victorian gable Another landing on a balcony table And when I reached the Lobster House I spotted a covey of ruffed grouse.

I just read your poem. Your writing is very free flowing. I checked out your other poems and really enjoyed those too. You have a real talent for connecting your ideas with rhymes that don't feel forced. Look forward to reading more. Jeff davies
