Short Cobblestone Poems

Herd of running bulls,
Resonates off cobblestone:
Serenaded death....

A stampede of shadows
Along this 
Red cobblestone road
Only dust in the wind...

On a cobblestone alley
Mist covers the ground

Elegance adorned in black; with red stilettos...
Standing amid diversions cobblestone square
She, aside gargoylias ancient flowing fountain....

can you
hear the
sound of 
sweet rain
tap dancing
to the tune
while
i 
am 
singing in
the rain
upon 
the
cobblestone streets of Spain...

Wettened by the mornings dew 
Closely spaced where rows of roses grew 
Footprints stained the cobblestone 
Where my love and I had walked, alone...

The slow breeze blew, the damp haze flew,
Tiny droplets freely flowed;
The winds serenade as the trees gently swayed
Way up the cobblestone road....

As I stroll along
A cobblestone path
A sight to behold indeed
Rows of flowers 
Adorn each side
Embrace such beauty to be
My fondest one
That I most gaze upon
Is the one
Angels call Lilly...

Rain poured the night before
Reviving cobblestone
Ribbons round tambourine
Rollick, she kept ringing
Response of the peasants
Remarkable impact.
Ray of blush on her face

Currently watching a drunken man stumble on the cobblestone
wondering why he is drunk and alone, wandering the streets he will roam...

The echoes dance
on the walls of the alleyway,
to the rhythm of arrival.

My heart races with joy,
while listening to the melody
of your heels growing nearer
on the quaint cobblestone......

Lovers walk on cobblestone
in a silent night
under lantern's amber glow
shadows meld so tight
whispers won't deny
when a Midnight rain is brought
to a softer sigh

Folklore drifts
past cobblestone
like ash.
Along High street,
I traipse through secrets,
foraging
ghosts in
Castle Rock’s
slate gaze.
I stir up
ancestors
to warm my spirit
as an Auld Reekie dawn
bares 
its dented armor....

Creamy hot chocolate
    bathes windowpanes

  Two Clydesdales trot smartly
    down cobblestone lanes

  Through the trees, moon rises
    pools of light, reflection's prayer

  Rest now, reminders 
    ~ of an era unscared...

Narrow cobblestone lanes
          The clop-clop of horse-drawn buggies
            The crack of the whip...

          Pots of Steam on blackened stoves
          Whooping cough, scarlet fever
             Stale bread, castor oil......

Traced backwards through dreams gone—
Saw a cobblestone path creasing palm of land
Slowly, images ripened beneath memory’s dawn
Faded, pattering feet stroking stone into sand.

NOTICE: I'd like hard-core critiques, please!...

Ambling and ankling on red brick and cobblestone
gone are your cottons and calicoes.
Factory skeletons repurposed, 
phantom workers operate 
Ghost looms in condo kitchens.

The sun sets like a watermelon dashed
off the Moody Street Bridge....

They travel at the speed of light
The horsemen passed me by
Through cobblestone streets, at night
The horsemen passed me by
Long black capes and rings of fire
The horsemen passed me by
Mount your horse if you desire
The horsemen fill this sky...

Her finesse of the arts 
painting a dream
for what it is and what it seems  
never the matter
beauty and excellence it teems

Of stone, of marble of
crystal 
through the trees
an effigy of hope
sits perched 
in moonlight haze
...

As fragmented skies weep
My night of gray
Monochrome memories
And cobblestone
Dreams silently await
The break of day
when suddenly I hear
The telephone!

cobblestone streets
heading to the center of town
happy walk to and fro

oceans apart
across the blue and the green
wayward walk

slate blue sea
across the table where I sit
moist eyestare

Big yellow buses, on days when it rains,
Olympus for chips, then waiting for trains,
Long summer evenings, with walks in the park,
Town Hall, tall chimneys, a Jack Russell’s bark,
Open front doors, red brick, cobblestone,
Nice to be back, always glad to be home....

Crouched in an alley
Cold unwelcoming cobblestone
Raindrops keep him half awake
Stayed up all night sipping coffee
Finishing touches to canvass of
Bluebird skies and sailing ships
Those holding umbrellas pass by
Look - and move on through
November's leaded skies......

Wettened by the morning dew
Closely spaced where rows of roses grew
Footprints stained the cobblestone
Where my love and I had walked, alone

Picturing us hand in hand
Walking slowly, stopping just to stand
Sharing love with our sweet kiss
Harkens back fond memories of bliss...
