Short Capistrano Poems

Mission jewel seen near ocean's close shore.
Place where white gulls fly and breaking waves roar.
Tiled roofs, colonnades all make a fine tour.
Show birds nesting

Pre-received,  by some to be, 
A bit of a shallow fellow indeed.
I followed the swallows
down the road to 
San Juan Capistrano
In search of a better life for me.

Better a sight there,  did I see.
Appearing & leering angry unto me,  was he.
I didn't know, had never seen.
Not one to show fear
I glared back, with a sneer.
But looking closer, I did see here.  
It was only,
me in view,
 of me,
in a mirror.
