Old Bridge, Lijiang

SPRING TIME MEMORIES 2



Spring in Lijiang
Blooming flowers sparkle;
Crystal clear waters

~~~~~~~~~


Snow-cap mountains
Majestic horizons;
Sky borne eagle

~~~~~~~~~


Prominent ancient town
Glimpses of old China;
Modern trade-offs

~~~~~~~~~


Ancient grounds glimpse
Tarry on stone bridge;
Curious feet loiter

~~~~~~~~~


Common grounds 
Local folks ponder;
Observe tourists intrude

~~~~~~~~~


Old bazaar shoppe
Ancient gentleman smiles;
Pipe smoke patterns

~~~~~~~~~


Photo snapshot
Memory milestone;
Still life ambience

~~~~~~~~~


Brisk browse
Snatch good feel;
Takeaway trinkets

~~~~~~~~~


Ancient village moments
Emergent present;
Fast food restaurants

~~~~~~~~~


Lijiang in spring
May joy sets three days;
Heart wanders home

~~~~~~~~~


Picture story
Glimpses of Lijiang;
Vivid colours dance

~~~~~~~~~


Feast for the eyes
Magic moments stray;
Vivid visit

~~~~~~~~~


Cobblestone lanes
Petrified tryst;
Personal memoir

~~~~~~~~~


Silver everywhere
White metal textures;
Precious distractions

~~~~~~~~~


Once upon a tour
Lijiang in China;
A kind host

~~~~~~~~~


Winding pond
Willow tree murmurs;
Morning salutation

~~~~~~~~~


Fragrant Pu-Er tea
Tasty brew invigorates;
Round roll blend 

~~~~~~~~~


Spring time sojourn
Far far away;
Horizons merge

~~~~~~~~~
