Lisboa, Portugal
Above Rua da Correeiros
Sunlight dances on the floor,
Patterns lifted by a breeze.
Summer voices Portuguese
Reflect the light caught on walls
Old enough to witness centuries.

Along the waterfront light spills across
A promenade, newly paved and planted,
Folks stroll beyond the palace to
Gather in an ancient market place,
Mercado da Ribeira,
Now a venue for sipping wine
While dining
On fish soup and clams,
Sushi and fries!
