along the Danube


along the Danube
the lover's walked,
old ladies sat
on benches,
old men strolled
arm in arm

the sun shone
on that first day
in November,
All Saint's Day

bright, shiny, glittering
was the water

young men performed
their break dancing,
people window-shopped
on cobblestone streets

leaves glowed
orange, yellow, red
as the autumn chill
brought beautiful color

all seems right with the world.
Peace.

There's a nice, lazy rhythm to this. The lay out of the poem reflects the peaceful scene.
