. Now come back the Spanish fort Whose guns looked out toward old San Juan There are pelicans in the harbor They dive in the water occasionally coming Up like magic with a fish or two In a corner bar The long past her prime proprietor Is still singing choruses to jukebox tunes Current in nineteen forty one And where is Ruby who left her kids at home And in a crimson dress not particularly Caribbean Patrolled the streets for a night of fun The soldier’s bride from Illinois Who far away from her meadow butterflies Yet had them fluttering in her dreams . |

John, your poems are good. A single poem can contain scenes, story, feelings, life, culture, history and geography. very rich. very poetic and very romantic in broad meaning. You like to write woman who has "The long past her prime proprietor" but "Who far away from her meadow butterflies Yet had them fluttering in her dreams" beautiful. very beautiful. aging brews full-bodied emotions. enjoyed as always. |
