Sharing My Home

In walking distance, dinner waits, The outdoor tables beckon; The food delish, the breeze delightful – Perfect, I would reckon. An after supper stroll to where The benches by the river Provide the backdrop for a night The city can deliver. I have no private room en suite For guests who choose to visit, But when the weather’s on my side, My neighborhood’s exquisite.

I have always wanted to live by a river. Your place sounds great, Ilene.

I've lived in a neighborhood like the one you described in this poem. Such a joy to have a feeling of community and things within walking distance. Enjoy your neighborhood, you are blessed my friend. Enjoyed reading a couple of your poems today, Ilene. I'll be back soon. Bill

I love the wilderness as much as you love city life, yet we live happily on the same planet! Enjoyed, Ilene! Aloha1
