Lemon Lined Streets

Lemon Lined Streets

 

I just thought you might

   like to know,

I still find riding through

all these

   narrow cobbled streets,

each one lined

both sides, with lemon

trees and at speed

on a borrowed red bicycle

as exhilarating

today as ever I did, when

we were both

   still naïve and young lovers ..

    Sounds like a southern Italian street to me and how very romantic. I'm not going to lie this romantic muse is my favourite of yours. 🌹

      Bless you Teddy, amongst a few other places, I aim to hit Rome, Florence, Naples, La Spezia, Sicily & Sardinia in January .. they each (maybe Rome a little less so) hold so many fond memories for this old soul .. but if life was nowt but a bowl of lemons, I wouldn't write about anything else .. πŸ‹πŸ’›πŸŒΉ

        I was I'm Rome just the other week an amazing history but quite dark for me. 🌹

        We are a long time dead. This poem speaks to me about making the most of life. This imagery makes me smile. I see an older bloke in his Levi’s acting like a kid. Let that inner child out. Speed on cobbled stones on a bike, I ask you. I like the lemon trees for their symbolism. Have an easy Monday Neville.

          I have long been an avid subscriber to the philosophy you have more than adequately alluded to our Chris .. and I am indeed an older bloke perhaps happiest in his Levi's .. I sincerely hope you have a magic Monday Cassie ..

            sometimes in life, even though it might seem obvious, it pays to spell it out to avoid both disappointment and confusion ..

              It can only be one word, if related to KP - answers on a postcard, please. Clue: 5 letters in the word.

              • Accidental Poet

                I confess to many younger days riding my bike all over town N. That rear view mirror never disappoints. Great write. πŸ˜ŠπŸ‘

                • Neville



                  neva keep ya eye on the road was probably some of the worst advice I woz ever given .. but fun at the time .. πŸ˜ŽπŸ‘

                  • Accidental Poet

                    I thought it was, "never take your eyes OFF the road". Either way, so great sights along the way. πŸ˜ƒ
