A Tuesday Poem

Vino Tinto

Vino tinto on a Tuesday night

Granada beckons

                holds me tight

Alhambra embrace

                foreign lace
Muslim markets, tasty tapas

               pero, que is “grapas”

Me encanta Spain

                I drink it all in

I feel warm here

                I’ll be back again

Footballers handsome,
               olives strong

Night owls walk the streets, 
              and feel I belong

Contentment…ahh…it fills up my soul

                it’s past midnight, time for a stroll

Walk it off, ‘cause I feel the drink

                lovin’ it here: things to see, time to think

Written in Sept '09 while I traveled solo through Spain, as I sat barside, sipping on a glass of red wine on my second night alone in the city of Granada
