Venice
Poet: Ken Jordan
Poem: Venice
Edited by: Sparkle Jordan

Venice.....
of America -
"Coney Island
Of The Pacific,"
Hidden away
on the far
west side
of L.A. -
Where
the ocean
surrounds
your every
move -
It's
"Paradise
By The Sea,"-
And there is
no place
I'd rather be -
I thank God
for
Abbott Kinney,
The father
of Venice,
for following
his dream -
To replicate
Venice Of
America,
like Venice
of Italy -
From
Gondolas,
to Bridges,
and his
famous Canals -
To
Muscle Beach,
The Piers
and
Washington Square -
The People
The Boardwalk
and
Amusement Parks
To
beachfront
parties
everywhere -
It's all here
In this
Carnival-like
atmosphere -
For those
who visit
want to stay -
For those
who stay
never want
to leave -
Just take
a stroll
down
Ocean Front
Walk -
To feel
the charm
of the
Venice
mystique -
A
picturesque
Beachfront
town -
This is
Venice,
Of America -
"Coney Island
Of The Pacific"
Where
dreams
do come true -
