As I wake up, Walking along The canal...

Bruges, Belgium. 14th October 2012

As I wake up,

Walking along

The canal, I see

The lady who

Feeds the ducks,

Perhaps married

To a man

Who drinks a

Beer called Kwak.

As I wake up,

Walking along

The canal, engulfed

In Flemish whispers

That to me,

Sound like Dutch.

I love cobwebs And whispers...

I love cobwebs

And whispers,

Cobblestones and how

Roasted peppers, blister.

I love the Spring

And Winter,

A good Summer song

Or how Fall-leaves, twister.

I love the words

Bloom, gloom, how

Fireworks go ba-boom,

How nuns are called, sisters.

I love being called 

Herr, monsieur, 

Sir, though the Brit in 

Me, much prefers Mister.
