A DAY IN PENICHE

Clay topped roofs
Cobblestone streets
Cafes and restaurants 
Great places to meet.

Beaches and cliffs
Waves crash upon shore
Surfers in wetsuits
Seagulls galore. 

Stores closed for lunch
For one or two hours
Taking a nap
Or picking wild flowers.

Expresso is served
Perhaps a galau 
A strong cappuccino 
Prepared for us, now. 

We’ll meet on the corner
A table for two
Let me pay, today
I want to treat you.

We’ll sit by the window
We’ll sit and we’ll chat
We’ll  talk about issues 
Some of this, some of that. 

Afternoon bliss
A walk on the beach
We take off our shoes
Feel the sand on our feet. 

Stop for a drink
Before saying good night
The sky … oh so clear 
Beneath the moonlight.
