Venice

Well, there is no free seat;
Fields run in the infinite green;
Yellow waves cannot win heat;
Such eyes, belong to a queen...

He saw the other short menace:
Pay attention to pickpockets !
In the crowded train to Venice:
No room for other prophets...

Dreaming all love's loving parts.
However, there is no warning:
Beware of the thief of hearts.
Will I meet you again, morning?

A lovely city with streets of water that sparkle day and night. This brought back fond memories of my first visit when I was 21. Thank you! : )

Venice is beautiful--yes there are pick pockets. Nicely written, Ovidiu.

Nicely penned piece. Enjoyed the staccato rhythm of it.
