David Mohn Poet Quatrain

Streets of Dreams

Swollen nights bereft of sky
       Soon, incandescent alleys slink  
     Tethered stars like winsome eyes
         Channel Venice with a wink

     Baptized new in lumened sheen
       Roiling mirrors bend the night   
  From sidewalk's edge, canals agleam 
     A city’s veins in shimmered light

  Beneath the streetlights wetted glaze 
       Cobbled rivers waft up steam
   A Terrace framed in moisture’s haze  
     Look down upon a lovers dream
