On disembarking In A Foreign Port

a rickity rainbow of houses and shops
fresh aroma of sugar cane and hops
street musicians sing to the sea
wrong-sided drivers scoff at me

but the amazing part is how I feel!
alive, tingling, shimmering zeal
and an urgent urge to giggle a'loud

..."I want to live here FOREVER!"

You certainly make it sound a nice place to be. It's amazing what can be said in just a few well written lines.
best regards,

thank you for your time and thoughts. I do appreciate them

sincerely,

P

i absloutely LOVE your opening line!

this poem for me, captures so wonderfully
the feeling of heightened senses when
arriving for the first time, somewhere that immediately
strikes a magical chord

i have felt as you described more than
a couple of times when travelling...it's terrific
to read a work that makes you feel connected
to it, and that's what i felt reading this

completely enjoyed this poem

cheers
