Bad Windsheim

by Celia Freese

Reflections of Bad Windsheim, Germany

Cobblestone streets
Stucco houses
Snuggling tightly
Into terraced layers
Along hillside slopes

Steep slanted tiled roofs
Crown pastel row houses
Joining with a variety
Of household exteriors
Standing side by side

Trees, shrubs
Tidy garden plots
Fit neatly into
Imaginative corners
Yard to yard

Dogs watch
Or walk on leash
While cats prowl
Kids use safety helmets
And training wheels

A gawky lad's "Motorad"
Wobbles out-of-control
As his instructor barks orders
A shy teen lurches
Into the street seated by her coach

Elders exercise
Some walk with canes
Regaining strength
At   K U R P A R K S
Quite nearby

Historic monuments
Grand, majestic, proud
Stand stately
Recalling events
From an earlier time

A pleasant calm
Allows birds to chirp
Twitter and trill
As bells chime
Tolling the order of the day
