Short Cable Car Poems

                Cable car, my thrill,
                Mambos up a sunny hill,
                Dim Sum dishes filled.

          * Dim Sum is Cantonese lunch served
            in small dishes, at lunch. Delicious*

I miss the mist
that kissed my face.
I miss the joy
of hills that race
to catch the bay.

I miss the life
the Monk tones,
the cable car bell,
the foghorn groans
that filled the bay.

I miss the Coit
and the Golden Gate
the parks with
views so great
of the endless bay.

I left my love
my life, my soul
in the city so warm
in a life gone cold
by the beautiful bay....

                Summer San Francisco Valentine



                 Your heart beats in me 
                 Loving you seasonlessly
                 Under summer stars


 
                 Our silk kimonos
                 Bamboo fever, Powell Street
                 A cable car clangs

Travelling along the road
on the South African highway
taking in the glorious sights
views that take your breath away
 
Here a Scot in an land
so very far from home
but a land full of history
in some ways like my own
 
This journey took mamy miles
to reach it's desired end
so following the route planner
it indeed became a friend
 
Going up Table Mountain
while in Cape Town
I got to the top
by cable car up and down
 
A great experience
An amazing journey
many memories
blessed is me!
