Panagiota Romios Poet Verse

Marina Green, San Francisco

Ah, my Marina Queen!
You, who reigns over the Marina with grass 
so tantalizing, so verdantly green.
Holding costly homes that gaze over the
San Francisco Bay,

I adored the music of fog horns, and
could listen to them hight and day.
We all blessed by a mystical, silent drops of fog!
Embracing the Marina and we, your  most serene 
residents ......all night long!

No tourists on the huge lawns, run!
They. unknowingly believe Pier 39 and souvenirs 
are far more fun?
San Franciscans know the city far better than a 
sleazy tourist attraction.

They love the unknown jazz and coffee haunts.
Smiling at one another in delightful satisfaction.
The overpowering scent of Eucalyptus trees,
The Japanese tea garden.
Souls that are totally free!

Tom Cunningham January 3, 2022 at 1:43 PM Well I didn't see it when I was there only pier 39 and all the sea lions. Next time maybe. Tom Panagiota Romios January 3, 2022 at 3:21 PM Tom, it is still there. But the city now is a horror show. Come, violence. Suggest you go to a Red state. Restrictions on life stink. In anyBlue state Pangie.
